Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Saku

Lovely stay in a beautiful area. The staff were all very helpful, including pick up and drop off to bus terminal. We had everything we needed and buses to the slopes were walking distance, although car hire would be even more convenient, especially if travelling with kids. Overall would recommend to any families or small groups travelling to Hakuba.

They were polite from the pre-exchange to the end. This time, four families, including children, used it, and everyone was very satisfied!! Above all… I was impressed that I didn't have to do a lot of laundry at the end, after an early morning departure and a body exhausted from skiing. The kids are excited about the Switch!I enjoyed it on the big screen TV. There are plenty of amenities and the towels are clean.The bathroom was also clean. I saw the reviews beforehand and heard that there were ingredients… I was surprised more than I imagined.It was a fun meal for adults and children alike. The good reviews so far are convincing. This is the inn I would like to stay at again, it is the best with no complaints.

Lovely big house with convenient location on the outskirts of Yamanochi. The amenities are top notch and it is very spacious and cozy. You have a breathtaking view of the mountain and you can reach the Shiga plateau in about 20 minutes by car and in less than 5 minutes at the parking lot to the Monkey-Onsen. The only downside is the location directly on a noisy main road. At night there is little traffic, but oropax is still recommended...

Six friends from Australia, were fortunate to stay at Rumi and Roberto wonderful B & B in the mountain slopes of Bessho onsen in the district of Ueda. 4 days of exploring the area, recommended eateries, onsons, galleries gave us an insight into a unique Japanese lifestyle. Friendly people made us feel welcome and we soon overcame the language differences by a mixture of hand signs and attempts at basic Japanese. The hospitality of Rumi and her recommended places to eat was outstanding. This has been a great start to journey in Japan. It has set the tone for the coming weeks. Thank you Rumi and Roberto.

Our stay in Akakura was nothing short of magical, thanks to this incredible accommodation and our wonderful host, Cam. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that no detail had been overlooked—every comfort was thoughtfully provided, making us feel completely at home while immersed in the beauty of Japanese hospitality. The space itself exudes authentic charm, blending traditional aesthetics with all the modern conveniences one could need. After long days in the snow, returning to such a warm and inviting retreat was pure joy. Cam’s attentiveness and care were truly exceptional—always available to assist, yet never intrusive, ensuring that our experience was seamless and stress-free. If you’re looking for a stay that perfectly balances authenticity, and comfort, this is the place. We leave with full hearts and unforgettable memories—thank you, Cam, for making our time in Akakura so special!

Definitely will stay again ! Thanks Narrelle and Steve both of them very helpful and kind 😍

The response was quick and kind. The furniture and equipment were arranged to make the architecture look beautiful. The pellet stove was quite good.

The location was close to the jR station, walk 5 minutes walk, the owner always had communication, it felt warm to enter the room, the cleanliness was high, we all felt satisfied.Like returning to Karuizawa chooses to stay again.

Lovely host. Awesome location - walk to everything, home with great energy for our family of 7 with a baby

Easy and convenient! Great location and easy walk to the main street of Echoland. Huge corridor/hallway perfect for all of our luggage so it didn’t clutter the rooms. Comfortable beds and really good showers. Thanks for hosting us David, it was a great stay!

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.

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

The apartment was clean and functional, close to the bus stop. For our part, we walked in the neighborhood which was charming, but quieter, a little far from the center. That's what we were looking for. Glendy was very proactive and responded quickly to our questions. We were even able to meet and chat with her, which we really enjoyed. We recommend Glendy's apartment.

Nice place, peaceful, quiet neighborhood.

Exactly as the photos, a super clean and cozy place. I have rented several times around here and have never been in a property so equipped with kitchen stuff, groceries and others like here. Thanks so much for meeting us so well.

Highly recommend this place. It's a great location, lovely setting in the woods, we were there in winter and with the snow its incredibly beautiful and also walkable to the gondala or chair lift. This Airbnb is a seperate apartment attached to the Mojo lodge, so you get all that's listed, 2 bedrooms + living room/kitchen/bathroom etc etc but also in Winter season you can use the communal area of the lodge as well which is great, plus you get an excellent cooked breakfast and a morning lift to the gondala. Plus all the staff at the lodge are super friendly and very approachable for advise on the area whether that's where to eat or the best onsen or other local knowledge. We really felt welcomed and at home for the whole week we were here and we'd definitely stay again.

All the facilities were spacious and clean, so the 5 of us were able to have a satisfying night. I look forward to staying again when I visit Matsumoto again.

We had a great stay here. Truly beautiful spot in the mountains surrounded by lush forest. Would recommend!

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

Very fun and beautiful place. You can tell that they took a lot of time and planning to create the layout and atmosphere. It’s by far my favorite Airbnb I’ve ever booked.

Everything good. Host is very friendly and response for all message to help. I wiil be here again.

I could not recommend Villa Monochrome enough! Yasue was so helpful the whole time of our stay, she picked us up and dropped us off at the bus terminal for arrival and departure and even drove us to get groceries. She was helpful during our stay and really made us feel at home. The accommodation was beautiful and well equipped and the location is fantastic for snowsports at Happo One. Will definitely be staying again! Special mention for the Kotatsu (heated) table. That was such a lovely treat after a day on the mountain. 10/10 for Villa Monochrome.
