I'm glad I listened to the reviews on this site, It was a warm, inviting place with the best personal service I'd seen. The hotel staff went out of their way to drop us off, pick us up at each destination. And the best thing was the view and the french 4 course dinner. Delicious! The only downsides (as a... more

This is a nice hotel near the Ski Jumping Staion. It is run by 2 brothers and the Romanian wife. They speak very good English. It has splendid views surrounding the hotel. There is a free pickup/drop off service at the JR Hakuba Station. We had a triple Japanese-style room. The room was clean and spacious. My husband had an... more

We stayed here for 3 days in May 2007. The hotel staff went out of their way to look after us, including giving us tips on where to hike and what to do in the area.

They were so amazing in so many... more

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at the family run Yamano Hotel in Hakuba, and we were given such a warm welcome that we didn't want to leave. Best of all, the food was excellent, especially the French cuisine for our evening meals. The hotel also has lovely views over the mountains, and we could watch the ski jumpers without even having... more

It's my first stay in Hakuba Yamano Hotel. Through the web, it looked very nice, and indeed, the view from the hotel rooms was magnificent!!
