This was a cozy accommodation with charm. The owner and his family were an absolute delight as was the free hot beverages they provide in the second floor public lounge.
The owner was incredibly kind and helpful. He gave us a ride to our restaurant of choice and he's even dropped us off at a nearby attraction.

The best part was the staff. Hazu and his wife, Hitomi, are friendly and go way beyond the call of duty. They are a charming couple anxious to help. We arrived in April, after the ski shuttle bus was finished for the season. Hazu picked us up at the JR railstation, and took us to Happo One Ski Resort each morning and picked us up each afternoon. He helped us make arrangements for our following destination. Our accommodations were cleaned daily. Staying in a smaller inn gave us the opportunity to interact with a Japanese family. Would definitely stay again!

A Brilliant Holiday Experience
Our hosts were absolutely the most amazing hosts ever - pick up and drop off to the local bus station; beautiful meals; helpful advice; discounted ski tickets; and just so so friendly - they became like family the first day. What the place skips in spark and pazzaz, it makes up ten times over in everything else that you will need. Honestly, I would rather stay here than anywhere else in this area.

Lovely pension with very friendly owners
We stayed at Pension Karunaju for a week's snowboarding in the Hakuba area. Kazu, his wife and the whole family are lovely and very friendly, hard-working and hospitable. The room was comfortable and was cleaned on a daily basis. The ski drying room and common area came in particularly handy as did the private onsen/hot tub! The pension is right in the heart of Echoland, making it an ideal base for exploring the local restaurants. The bus to the ski hills left from right outside. Would definitely not hesitate at all to stay here again!
