Nori's Sharehouse Hakuba

cheap, confortable stay. everything you need to cook and supermarkets nearby . even a super nice coffee machine

if you do not have a car, it is easy to get to happo as a shuttle bus stop is nearby . however, getting to the other resorts is a bit more complicated.

The location was approximately 8 mins from Hakuba train station, where the highway bus stops at. The location of the ski shuttle buses is at Hakuba Royal Hotel, which is a very short walk. The room was very comfortable for a solo traveller. There is also a tuning area for skiers and snowboarders.

There was only one toilet and shower, located at the first floor.

I like the kitchen, and near for the other place.. for the example supermarket just 3 minute, station just 5 minute

Although the property is a good 20min walk from Hakuba base camp Echoland, where Nagano airport shuttle drops you, and also a 20min walk to Happo bus Terminal and village, it is located close to the train station. Only about 6min walk, which is good for catching shuttle buses. Also 5min walk to Hotel Hakuba for shuttle bus. 3min walk to A Coop supermarket which had excellent produce and food. Also a good number of local restaurants nearby which were well priced. The kitchen had a good fridge, microwave etc, Esspresso machine. Good washer/dryer

This is a very low budget type accomadation. Absolutely no frills. If that is what you are looking for it is adequate. I would prefer to pay $40 to $50 more a night and get a nice environment. There is only one toilet and one shower to 7 people. Only one basin to attend hand washing, teeth cleaning etc. Bedrooms upstairs and toilet downstairs, can be a bit inconvenient during the night. The kitchen did not have enough cutlery or mugs for 7 people. Also only enough space for one person to prepare and cook food at a time. No tea towels for drying dishes. The Kerosine heaters only ran for 2hrs at a time so could get qiite chilly overnight. They also had a strong odour. You had to refill the canisters yourself with drums left in the hallway. We figured this out ourselves. No instruction from the host. We did not meet the host during our 7 night stay despite him living onsite in another part of the property.

This place is absolutely cost-effective. Especially in Hakuba area at such hot season, facility is adequate at such price. There is kitchen so you can cook by yourself and also a big supermarket nearby, which is quite convenient.

A bit far away from the center. But you can easily find shuttle bus of nearby hotels which takes you to the bus terminal center
