Apartment vacation rentals in Hokujo

Great location and very helpful staff for travelling to train station on departure.

The house was beautifully spacious, clean and toasty warm! Super close to the train station/ bus shuttles and supermarket. The house itself had everything you need! Pete was extremely great at communicating and helping us with the best local places to eat and organising transport. If I come back to Hakuba I’ll definitely be booking this place! 10/10

So pleased we chose Hakuba Downtown Apartments for our first time to Hakuba. The unit was so spacious, modern, comfortable and clean - and the views were incredible! Couldn’t have asked for more. The location suited us perfectly - we hired a car, and loved the freedom of choosing resorts each day depending on conditions. But what set this accommodation above our expectations was the host - Pete is a legend. A top bloke who couldn’t be more friendly and helpful. Highly recommend staying at HDA - you will love it!

Staying at Big Bear was great, from booking to checking out. Darren was a great host who reached out with tips and information about reservations and advance bookings for local activities and restaurants etc. he was a great help in booking our ski lessons, and knowledgeable for other skiing relating issues. The apartment itself was exactly as described- and a personal touch was that the heating was turned on prior to our arrival and was very comfortable for us. The crew were available to drive us to dinner reservations, grocery store, medical clinic and collect us and drop at bus station etc. Only issue we had was trying to dial the contact number provided in the confirmation email, however once Darren advised us to ‘drop the first zero, if using an international prefix’ it worked perfectly (maybe common knowledge to some, but not us). Overall, would not be able to recommend this accommodation highly enough! It was absolutely amazing, we didn’t want to leave.

we enjoyed throughout the whole trip. due to our car is not AWD resulting that my car stuck in the sluggish snow. Darren's team was fast to help me get out and offer me a car WITHOUT COST for the rest of my stay. We managed to park the car at Rhythm and walk to the apartments which is 200-300m away which solve the issue. Thank you Darren and team for the great hospitality.

Such an awesome spot to stay in Hakuba! The place itself is amazing; super clean, BIG, amazing views up the mountain and easily walkable to Happo and local restaurants. The team were awesome and communication was fantastic. Pick ups and drop offs were easy to organise and everyone was so lovely. Will 100% come and stay here again! Highly recommend.

Really enjoyed our stay! The hosts were so friendly and helped take us to a couple much needed stops! Definitely recommend!

It was a very beautiful hostel. The view from the window was also good and the atmosphere was calm. However, the owner was not available when I checked in, and even if I asked the employee, I waited for a moment. It is a bit disappointing that we had to wait about 30 minutes for check-in.

Masa was a very helpful host. He replies really fast and makes the effort to answer your questions thoroughly and makes sure your stay is as comfortable as possible!

Ikeda's responsiveness is really helpful because the host relies on Airbnb during their stay There were a lot of things this time, but "It seems time-consuming..." I'm checking on my questions, so please reply appropriately if I have to wait. I don't even know if I can handle it while I'm waiting. How easy it is to wait to know that the host is taking care of you! I'm also grateful to IKEDA.

The host is friendly and helpful. The house is cosy, clean and well equipped. Checkin and checkout is very easy. Recommend for couple and groups 3-4 people.

Great place to stay with a great host!

A beautiful Airbnb located in the heart of Echoland, walking distance to many restaurants and bars. The unit itself is very cosy and warm, and had all the amenities for a comfortable stay. We especially enjoyed the automatic bath tub which was great after a long day of snowboarding. As an added bonus, the food downstairs at Hakuba Shokudou and Berbies was excellent, so we had a few late night snacks there. All in all, we would love to be back again next snow season in Hakuba!

The palace was great, looking exactly like on the pictures. Very comfortable bed, spacious common area and plenty of amenities. Good location and excellent host!

The apartment in the forest was quiet and relaxing, surrounded by nature. It was impressive that we could see the stars so well.

I didn't check the message from the host, and it was warm, but I am very grateful for the polite response. Host is extremely friendly, The room was clean and comfortable like a hotel!

The apartment was much nicer than what the pictures showed. A very nice place to stay for someone looking for a relaxing accommodation after a strenuous day or long drive.
