Itoigawa Hotel Guide - Takanamino Pond hotels in Itoigawa, Japan.

"Looking for Hakuba Accomodation? Highly recommend booking here! Great central location, close to Happo Village, Happo Ski resort and Hakuba 47 + Goryu Resort. Great value and price range for what you get staying at this lodge, when compared to other accomodation options. Taking the bus to near by resorts? Another reason to book here! Their is two bus stops near by that offer a free shuttle bus service to near by resorts, such as Goryu and Iwatake resort. The owner of the lodge is Amazing and will gladly assist you with bus options, recommendations for dinner, onsens, ski resorts, shopping, sight seeing and more! A great breakfast is provided every morning with coffee, convenient and the perfect way to start your day before heading up to the slopes. Our room was large, plenty of room for hanging clothes, our suitcases and more, with a great view and large bed. A large drying room is in the lodge near the front entrance, convenient for drying your gear at the end of the day. Many dinner options are within walking distance of the lodge. "

"We enjoyed our short 3 night stay at West Coast Inn in March 2026. We came to Hakuba to see the mountains and the snow, and the weather cooperated!! Our host at West Coast was wonderful and gracious! We plan to come back next year!"

"Clean room"

"Had a great stay! Thanks for everything "

"The restaurant option closes at 8pm. Something the staff did not explain upon check in. The bar doesn’t open till 4pm in the afternoon. Again, something the staff did not explain. They don’t have any vending machines with food options. Seriously so no food on site after 8pm and nothing available to eat. They don’t have vending machines with Beer or Liquor options. There were no towels in the shower area. Yes they give you an Onsen towel and small towel in a tote bag but come on. Have proper towels for the room for when you shower. Lastly, their shuttle service doesn’t run until after the first bus from Hakuba t Nagano runs so we had to take Taxi’s into the town-1.5KM. "

"This hotel was absolutely incredible. It’s located just five minutes from Happo-One, which made getting to the slopes unbelievably convenient. The ski shuttle service the hotel provides is also fantastic. Whenever you want to ski, you simply go down to the ski concierge, let them know you’re heading out, and they’ll have all of your gear ready—clean, dry, and warm. Then they drive you straight to the mountain of your choice. It honestly couldn’t be easier. Yes, the hotel is on the pricier side, but it is absolutely worth it. The food at the restaurant is outstanding, and the service was truly impeccable. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like royalty. I’m already looking forward to my next trip back to Japan, and I will definitely be staying here again."

"Good option if you’re looking for something very close to the ski lift. Unpleasant smell all around probably due to the building being old."

"Lots of choice. Unfortunately it resembled a large boarding school canteen. Air quality was poor. "

"The property is nice, the onsen is a terrific feature and the staff were excellent and helpful with our many questions for inbound/outbound travel. However, for upwards of $400 per night, the dining options were rather basic and, given the hotel's somewhat remote location, the sporadic shuttle schedule and drop-off locations made the ski resorts somewhat of a challenge to reach."
