AU$119 Meiken Onsen Accommodation

Standard accommodation but great location to the slopes.

Awesome authentic Japanese accommodation and very friendly and helpful owners. Awesome place

My family of 4 (2ad,2ch) stayed at this hotel mid January for our Ski Trip. The room was spotless and had everything we needed in it. The kids (and adults!) loved the outdoor bath and we did this each night - very relaxing and most nights we seemed to have it to ourselves (the mens anyway). The hotel does a 'free-flow' couple of hours with free drinks and snacks if you don't have your room cleaned that day - we also took advantage of this! We ate twice in the restaurant which was nice, but never had Breakfast (a bit too pricey for me). The hotel is really well located if you drive, and if you don't then its also well positioned on a bunch of different local shuttle routes right to your door! Mastering the shuttle system in Hakuba is a must! Also, if you let the hotel know your arrival from either the Bus or Train station they will pick you up and drop you off in their courtesy shuttle. The staff were friendly and the services was excellent. NOTE that you could not easily walk to the ski jump as there is a river in the way, so shuttles are a must. Very well located for the eating places in Echoland. Vending machines for non-alcoholic AND alcoholic drinks. Ski locker room which left our ski gear warm and dry each morning. We felt this hotel was a great base of operations for Hakuba.
