Family-friendly vacation rentals in Hakuba, Kitaazumi District

It was a great place to stay. As the name suggests, it has a very open window with a view of the forest, and I had a relaxing time looking out at the wonderful forest. I would definitely recommend it when you come to Oiwake.

Alex and Rie are kind and considerate hosts and Thunderbird Cottage is a great base for skiing around Hakuba with a family / group. The car with ski rack is a big advantage for getting around to ski resorts and restaurants / shops. The cottage and car together are good value if you are looking for a peaceful environment that’s close to everything you need. Alex and Rie provided very helpful info that assisted our plans in and around Hakuba.

Awesome place, great staff, happy to drive us places and great food and vibe!

We had a fantastic time at this Airbnb! The location is perfect for those seeking adventure with family and friends, offering a great balance of nature and comfort. The large room on the second floor was spacious enough to accommodate our group of 10 comfortably. The highlight of our stay was definitely the private onsen—it was absolutely amazing! Being able to enjoy a relaxing soak every day made our trip extra special. The onsen is large enough to fit multiple people, but if you only need a quick shower, you’ll have to take turns using it. The house is heated using a gasoline heater, which worked fine for us, but it’s good to be aware of this in advance. Overall, we loved our stay and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy yet adventurous getaway!

Quiet, very clean, has all the amenities you need and very spacious. Any questions we had were answered very quickly. Jason, Fumiko and Mia were really responsive and kind. Couldn’t have asked for better hosts and place to stay in Japan. The place has all the amenities you need and is very new and modern. The entire house has heated floors which a luxury we didn’t realize we needed. Definitely plan on coming back to stay again.

Very comfortable stay in this modern luxurious chalet! Jason was very responsive in his communications with us and also when we needed help! Great place to stay in Hakuba!

Whilst the snow wasn’t what we hoped so late in the season we loved our time in Nozawa. Gab and his lovely family and staff made us so welcome as well as helping with all our questions and recommendations for ski hire and tours and the best of all, sending our excess baggage back to the airport allowing us to continue on our travels without our ski gear! The apartment was spacious and easily coped with 8 of us, perfect for larger groups. The apartment is located a 10 minute walk from main centre of town. We will be back!

Spacious and clean. Hot bath tab was fantastic!

What a beautiful stay in Hakuba. Exceeded our expectations. Greg was an amazing host, super friendly and helpful, and full of local knowledge and recommendations. The rental car included was fantastic. We loved our stay and will definitely be back! 😊

Patrick has been very responsive even before I booked the place, answer to all my enquiries. He waited for us and pick up from bus terminal and also sent us to train station on our checkout day. Pat's cottage is has all basic cooking ware, coffee maker, oven, dishwasher etc. We had good time staying in his cosy, lovely cottage.

We stayed at harmony house with a large group of friends for snow season. The house is perfectly located in echoland, a very short walk to every thing you need. The house stayed warm 24/7, incredible heating & heated floors throughout. We had a great stay and great experience. I’d highly recommend booking harmony house with Phil!

We really had a great time at kaoru’s place. And host are very friendly. If you looking for a place with real japanese vibe, look no further, this is the best palce. We looking forward to go there again soon!

I used it for the first time, but I had a very comfortable stay! They also responded to the urgent response, and they were really kind and kind! Thank you very much.

Perfect place to stay!

We enjoyed our stay. The house was as described, while compact is was slightly larger than I had envisaged. Definitely well located in Echoland. Desmond and his team provided complimentary transfers too and from Hakuba Station which was greatly appreciated. From my research Hannas house provide good value for money. I would recommend Hannas house with a few caveats, the stairs to the second level are very steep so maybe not great for very young children or if you are less mobile. We were lucky to have significant snow falls which meant that quite a bit of shovelling was required to keep the entry clear and the driveway accessible if you are considering hiring a car.

Darren was an excellent host and offered shuttle services for guests to grab essentials in the town centre. Restaurant and ski recommendations were also perfect, and very fast response times. Thanks Darren

WOW – A perfect place to stay! I want to give 6 stars out of 5. Great location – short 5 min walk to restaurants and bars. The grocery store is an easy 10 min walk (other direction). The resort buses pick up at the end of the driveway. Our unit was great; clean, comfortable, well lit, and nicely appointed. We had 6 adults and it was an easy fit, 8 would have been fine. The beds were comfortable and the entire place was quiet too. The separate room downstairs for boots and outerwear was heated every night and morning; everything was completely dry before we put it on the next day even after a full day in deep powder. Boots being very warm was really important for those with race boots which would be extremely difficult to put on if not warm enough – no problem here!!! Karen and Greg are fabulous hosts – super helpful and accommodating plus they have great info – almost like resident tour guides. They helped with transportation, gear rentals, restaurants, and resorts. We will be back!!!!

Kazuhiro's farm house was perfectly situated for my needs. I was the only one staying there, so I had the place to myself. I live in a van in the winter, so my needs are minimal. I don't see it mentioned in other peoples reviews, but I think it is worth noting that in the winter, the house is cold. There is a small heating unit that is on a timer in the bedroom as well as a heated floor covering. The bathroom and shower room are both constantly heated similarly to keep the water lines from freezing. I didn't use the kitchen for cooking because the heating unit would have taken a bit of time to heat the area. When I returned from skiing at 6 or 7, I had to wait a bit in my puffy for the bedroom to warm up. As a van liver, having running water and a shower was a plus so it was an upgrade from my usual living situation.

Nice place , nice view Very recommend. Host very nice and support us

Homely feeling cute cottage tucked away from the hustle and bustle, but a 8min walk right into the heart of it! Close to cafes/restaurant’s/bus stops/bars and food trucks. Everything is provided, and Takeshi responds to all our questions in a professional manner. Would stay again!

Our stay at Mayuko's place was amazing. The house is autenthic and spacious, on a quiet and beautiful location. The garden is very pretty with a river next to it. It's perfect for walking around. We felt at home. The Nagano prefecture is one of the best and we would be happy to stay again! Mayuko is a very nice host and very responsive. Recommend.

The trailer house has a good atmosphere, and it can be enjoyed by adults and children. The climate was cold, but it was very warm and cozy in the house. The trains were used multiple times, and there were treehouses and swings, which children were very happy with. It was a really enjoyable experience.Great! Thank you so much. I thought the bath was a little narrow beforehand. I went to a supermarket called Apple Yuya Obo ~ which is about a 10-minute drive away. There were many baths, and the sauna was very pleasant, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. I wanted to have a little barbecue at the meal, so I shopped at a butcher named Tominosho, but the beef and horse meat were delicious. I want to go again in spring and summer.

We (a couple in our 40s) stayed here for almost a month in March and April. We loved it! The surroundings are beautiful and peaceful. The house was cozy and the host very friendly, responsive, helpful, and flexible. We enjoyed cooking local produce in the house, running in the surrounding areas, visiting the onsens, snowboarding, and driving to the mountains. There is good Internet and space to work remotely. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils and pots and pans, etc. Although you do not need a car because the train station and grocery are a 15-minute walk and there is a restaurant within five-minute walk, having a car opened the surroundings up to us—all the wonderful nature and onsen and small towns. Nagano station is 45 minutes by train.

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect stay! We were so grateful for Toshi and Hiromi’s gracious hospitality, from picking us up at the train station to helpful suggestions for hiking trails nearby, places to explore and eat, and enjoy all Nagano has to offer. Their place is centrally located in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of so much to do. We only wish we had planned to stay longer. We will definitely stay with Hiromi and Toshi on our next visit to Nagano.
