Eric was the most amazing host. The value you get here is incredible- ground transportation, restaurant concierge, delicious free breakfast, travel tips, help booking trains, weather based recommendations on where to ski, etc. five star treatment at bargain bin price!

Book NOW and thank me later if you’re looking for the perfect place in Hakuba :) we are a group of 6 traveling to Hakuba for snowboarding. I hesitated at first because this lodge looked far from center based on the map. Little did I know Eric, the host, provided personalized shuttle service anywhere within Hakuba for free from early morning to late at night to ski resorts, dinner and more. Our friend stayed at ski in/ski out in Happo and regretted his decision. Eric made sure we were fed, had our reservations for dinner because we are a big group, bought our train tickets to Kyoto, and ship our luggages on time. We’ve traveled to many countries, stayed at airbnbs to 5 star hotels and nothing measured up to our experience at this lodge. We felt we underpaid him for the extremely spacious, clean and beautiful rooms and the services he provided. One of the highlights of our trip.

I cannot say enough good things about Eric and Fume! This is absolutely the best experience I could have imagined for my first trip to Hakuba. From the rooms to the breakfast service to the local knowledges and recommendations by Eric and Fume, every detail was perfect. Also shout out to Myles for his excellent service and of course the lovely Hime, the sweetest house dog. Everything about Backcountry Lodge makes you feel at home. I can’t wait to come back

The room large, breakfast was fantastic, something different every day. Hosts Eric and Fumi are extremely hospitable, and will drive you to and from the ski resorts and restaurants.

The hosts & Hime-chan (the golden retriever). And the warmth and affection which makes it a perfect home away from home

One of the best accomodations my friends and I have ever stayed at. The lodge is beautiful, and owners so kind and accomodating. Additionally, the breakfast was exceptional, something different and very creative for each day we were there (again don't think I have ever stayed somewhere that does a breakfast this good). I usually never write reviews, but this place was so beyond exceptional I have to. I can't put in to words how much I loved and would recommend this it - 10000/10. Thankyou for having us!

The whole experience exceeded our expectations, from the large and comfortable room to the cozy shared area, where we could relax and enjoy the fireplace. The breakfast was delicious, everyday we tried something different. And last but not least, the great customer service provided by Eric. Always available and helpful to provide information about the area. Would definitely come back.
