The location is a bit off, about 5 minutes walk up hill from the last shuttle bus stop, and the breakfast is disappointing.

We stayed here 6 years ago under different owners so we came again this season. It's a lovely hotel with lovely staff. We love the onsen.

Very helpful staff. Warm and spacious rooms. A few more breakfast option would be good. More hanging space in the room for the ski season a must.
Good stay.

The chalet had a homey feel and unlike the big hotels staff were eager to make your stay enjoyable and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Joanie and team we had a fabulous time! Fiona Robinson, Perth WA

Hotel is in a quite location. Block F of Wadano. Close to the Sakka chair (5-10 min walk) and close to Genki-Go bus stop (4-5 min walk). Hotel is new and is clean with an onsen.
Negatives are that there is little to no dinner options nearby (walking distance) so you will likely need to go into Happo town to eat - dont forget to reserve. Only other negative is the hotel seemed to have an odd noise to do with either hot water or sewage draining not sure which. The noise is enough to keep you awake.

Great place to stay, comfortable, roomy and clean.
Bit far from the main area ( shops and grocery stores) but the lodge will take you around in their own vans, alternatively you can take the shuttle bus to the slopes. Walking distance to Sakke slope and spicy rental is down the street.

Hotel staffs were very attentive and efficient to our needs. One of the staff, KC, went extra miles and out of his ways to help us out with everything. Highly recommended to stay here. Location is very convenient and accessible to bars, restaurants and ski areas. We had a wonderful experience at wadano forest hotel. Would definitely go back to stay again!
