    This hotel does not have terminals for paying by credit card, so guests have to pay online. I found it difficult to do the online payment on my iPhone at checkout. The first time, the credit card authorization failed, and I had to redo it. If there had been a credit card terminal, the authorization would have taken about 15 seconds. Instead, it took 15 minutes. I wondered why the hotel didn't have a credit card terminal (I've never encountered this situation at a hotel before). The clerk's explanation was that the Hakuba Group operates many properties and would need "about 30 terminals" if they used terminals. Her explanation sounded dubious to me: Many businesses have multiple outlets, but they have credit card payment terminals at all of the points where customers make payments.

    It seems that the hotel was recently renovated, and everything was very clean and attractive. Good location. We arrived a little after 7:30 pm. The restaurant had already taken last orders, but the staff were very helpful about locating a restaurant that was still serving dinner and provided shuttle transportation, which made it very convenient. The hotel's restaurant, Gio's, has great food and a pleasant atmosphere.

    Staff at the hotel.

    This place is amazing and live to the expectation. However, the staff could be more friendly and hospitable. The room is a bit small, but the onsen in the hotel is amazing. The area Happo one is also amazing with alot of nice and walking distance restaurants and establsihments. Would book it again because of convenience. The restaurant (clubhouse) has an amazing staff and nice iced match latte. Overall, 8.5/10.

    The Happo was our second hotel location within the town of Happo and it was stellar! The convenient location of the hotel puts it in walking distance of all hot spots within the town and for locations that were a bit too far to walk, or when the snow was too heavy, the Happo team were incredibly accomodating in organising shuttle busses for guests. One of the town’s bus stops is conveniently situated at the hotel’s entrance too, so getting to different ski fields was hassle-free. Having Gio’s and The Clubhouse located within the building was incredible - immaculate vibes at all hours of the day/night. I can’t wait to return!

    Location was perfect. Ski rental equipment outlet Rhythm was just outside the hotel. You could also return the equipment on site in the ski locker section. Complimentary shuttle services to Evergreen Ski School also made it so convenient. Rooms were comfortable, clean, functional and so well thought out. Absolutely love the cosy vibe of the property. Onsen in the property provided a perfect ending to any ski day!

    On departure our ride to the bus stop was late and we had to do a runner.

    Great location close to all the ski hire shops. The family room was lots of fun and big enough for a family of 4. The Italian restaurant downstairs was excellent albeit a little expensive.
