Hostel Yui-an 1 stars

Nagiso

Situated in Nagiso, 36 km from Ōi, Hostel Yui-an features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. With free WiFi, this 1-star hostel has a restaurant and a bar. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, free shuttle service and luggage storage for guests. The hostel is beautifully designed and in a gorgeous setting. It’s a great place to relax and cozy up with a good book. There were only two other people staying when we were there so it didn’t feel like a hostel. Definitely recommend getting the dinner - it was very good and there aren’t any other nearby options. Sake tasting was fun! Like all the places I’ve stayed at in Japan, it was extremely clean.

Hai Lodge 1 stars

Otari

Set in Otari, less than 1 km from Tsugaike Kogen Ski Area, Hai Lodge offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a shared lounge. With free WiFi, this 1-star hostel offers a shared kitchen and a 24-hour front desk. Guests can have a drink at the snack bar. I was initially skeptical about staying at Tsugaike seeing how the "main" resorts Happo-one and Hakuba 47 are quite a distance away. However, Hai Lodge was everything that previous reviewers had said. Tsugaike is a wonderful resort with many different terrains that would satisfy most people. The place was very well-maintained and clean. Josh and Victoria were wonderful hosts. Overall, I enjoyed my stay at Hai Lodge and will definitely stay again next time!
