    Absolutely loved my stay at Eternal Flame. It is a beautiful lodge and close to plenty of restaurants, as well as right across the road from a couple of the shuttle bus stops. Nao was a lovely host with excellent knowledge of the area to assist with deciding where to ski.

    Nao and his team went above and beyond with outstanding customer service, making our group feel truly at home. We are incredibly grateful for their dedication. Our meals were exceptional, our accommodations were fantastic, and we truly appreciated their thoughtful recommendations in helping us choose the right ski resort each day based on the weather conditions. Their assistance in securing dinner reservations in town made our experience even more seamless. Thank you!

    The owners at Eternal Flame were so accommodating and paid close attention to the details. The coffee machine and beautiful, varied breakfasts made our mornings! I enjoyed selecting a book from the comfortable communal area and having a beer with other guests there too. The owners were more than happy to collect us and drop us to the bus station and the property was in close walking distance to Echoland. The two onsens made for a perfect ending to a day on the slopes.

    Honestly not a lot to improve. Perhaps the back entrance to drop snow gear off could have been dug out a little, to make the snow a little less sketchy to walk on

    Wonderful service, comfy beds and delicious breakfast. From picking us up at the bus station, to helping organise our snow gear and tickets, to booking our restaurant each night, we were so well looked afterz Loved the onsen, massage chairs and communal lounge with coffee, tea and sweets

    Nao and the team were amazing hosts, one of the nicest pensions I've stayed in Japan. So many small touches and thoughtful gestures really elevated the stay from a place to stay to go skiing to 'i can't wait to get back and relax at the Eternal Flame'. The mini onsen, delicious and beautiful breakfast, welcome drink ect. Can definitely recommend a stay at the Flame! 🔥

    nothing - the only remark I could think of is that I was missing hooks/ rail to hang towels in the bathroom and maybe some hooks at the entrance for jackets

    We stayed at the new chalet and loved it! Also the main house and lounge area is very cozy. The location is perfect to catch different ski busses and a short stroll to the Echoland Main Street with shops and restaurants. The in house Onsen was another highlight after skiing. Be prepared for an amazing 3 course breakfast!

    Beds a tad firm, but consistent with the rest of japan. There was a very convenient bus stop for one of the resorts but a little bit of a walk if you want to go to other resorts. About 10min with ski gear to get to the V2 bus stop.

    Staff were lovely, Nao was so lovely to chat to and helped us with dinner bookings and ski hire. The three course breakfast got us well prepared for a day of skiing each day.

    The beds were firm, and you could feel the springs; however, they were not totally uncomfortable.

    Amazing experience from the moment we arrived in Hakuba. The hosts picked us up from the station before welcoming us to the accommodation. We had complementary champagne on arrival while they covered the check-in details and took our bags to our room. The breakfasts were amazing, different every day and served as 3 consecutive courses. Each day, the hosts were happy to book our dinner reservations in advance to ensure we got a table at local restaurants. The two onsens were game changing, perfect for a relax after a full day on the mountain. With bus stops right out the front of the hotel, we got to the mountain quickly and free each day.

    Nothing.

    Firstly, Nao and Kimmi (the hosts) are the nicest people! Our twin room with loft was tidy, perfect for 2-4 mates. The common area was very homely, and we felt happy to chill there and eat some snacks or have some of the fairly priced refreshments. Breakfast was awesome, with it being a three course meal every morning. The drying room worked great for our snowboard gear and had easy access from the road. I lost a room key while snowboarding (sorry!) and Nao stated he was “always on my side” insisting I didn’t have to pay. The hosts really made this stay special. Arigatou gozaimashita!

    Mattresses could have been a bit more comfy but not a deal breaker.

    From the moment you walked in the door you felt so relaxed and welcome. The hosts were wonderful and gave great recommendations of the area where to ski and eat. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious. The lobby was a beautiful space to relax, especially with our 8 month old baby. Easy walk to all the food options in Ecoland. We will stay again.
