We stayed in the Buddha Chalet in April 2023.  Sarah and Mick were wonderful friendly hosts with heaps of skiing, eating, and apres ski tips, especially little out of the way joints that only locals would know - after a couple of decades they have Hakuba dialled. The 'chalet' was really a spacious 2 bedroom home with all the mod cons, super comfy beds, a big entertaining table, big couch, laundry facilities, big drying room.  Location is wonderful, right beside a stream, a quiet area, but only 200 m from Happo Gondola, and easy walking to all the shops, bars, and restaurants of old Hakuba.  Highly recommended.

Great accommodation, great spot, great hosts.

Fab accommodation for different sized families in our group, spacious, well equipped, comfy beds, super clean and very helpful and friendly staff.
Shampoo and conditioner were amazing!
Good location with staff lift to ski hire and supermarket. Short walk to local bars, restaurants and ski lift.

Large ski group holiday

If there had been snow, the location would have been excellent. The lodging was cozy, spacious, and relaxing. We ended up spending a lot of time inside, since it was rainy, and we didn't get to ski as much as originally hoped.  Unfortunately, Hakuba experienced early warm and rainy Spring weather, which derailed our skiing plans. We skied for one day in wet conditions at Happo One and, rather than ski another day, decided to go on a Snow Monkey tour, which was excellent.

Great family vacation rental

We've just had the most wonderful ski experience in Hakuba and our accommodation at Zen Chalets made it all the more special. Sarah, Mick and the team are outstanding hosts. Informative, helpful and friendly. The chalets are well equipped, warm and well designed. They are just a short and easy walk to the gondola and nice and close to many of Hakuba's excellent restaurants. And the most comfiest beds and pillows! 
We can't wait to come back!

Best location and mountain views

We stayed at Zen Chalet in late January 2023. We were picked up at the train station by the Zen team and able to check in early to our beautiful villa. The courtesy supermarket shuttle on day 1 allowed us to stock up on some breakfast basics and it was really convenient being able to WhatsApp the Zen team when needed.

The visitors guide app provided great advice on local restaurants, transport etc.

The location of Zen is perfect - less than 5 mins to walk two kids along a cute forest path to the gondola. We will definitely stay with Zen again when we next visit Hakuba Valley.

Beautiful villa, perfect location close to gondola

We spent silver week here with our dog and loved the villa. The living spaces were very will equipped and designed and so comfortable that we didn’t feel the need to step out. The tent and bbq facilities were awesome in the cool weather. The hosts were very responsive and lovely folks. Great location too

Loved it. Will come again

We enjoyed our stay at Zen Villas. The villa is stylishly decorated, modern, cozy, and clean. Great location, just a short walk away from the Gondola, I enjoyed my morning strolls around the Happo area. We came in the Summer and management had set up tents & BBQ equipments too. The Wifi is fast, and the kids appreciated the variety of board games and the playstation. Thank you to the Zen Chalets Hakuba team (especially Sarah) for your hospitality! 

Great stay 👍Recommended! 

We stayed for a week at one of the Zen Villas. The apartment was stylish, modern, and there were floor heating throughout which was a blessing on cold days. The wifi was fast and reliable, very important as we had to work on some days and did many video meetings, and we were able to enjoy bingeing on Netflix every night. The first weekend we had family with children next to ours, and we could hear the children running around. 

It's a short walk through the wooded area to the Happo gondola, but we preferred to go to Goryu and Iwatake due to our mostly beginner level. Without a car, it was a good workout every morning to hike up the hill and through the bottom of the Kokusai slope to reach the shuttle stop at Mominoki Hotel ~10 mins away.  So a car is definitely more convenient. We appreciated the complimentary pick-up, drop-off and trip to the supermarket on our first day, though. Thank you Grant for being so helpful!

A minor nitpick is the chalet is probably not a great option for people who are looking to cook often. There was no tabletop gas stove and pot for nabe/hotpot (which is the easiest group meal to do!), we had to bring our own. It also took a long time to cook on the electric stove provided. No chopsticks or coffee mugs, only small Japanese tea cups.  We're thankful of the dishwasher and the drip coffee equipment though.

Cozy chalet near Happo

We stayed at Zen Chalets in Feb/March 2020 and had an amazing time. Access to the slopes and restaurants was a short walk away which was very handy for our 4 and 7 year olds.  Skiing was great but what topped it all off was being able to come back to the Chalet at the end of a long day and have all the comforts and amenities you need without having to go anywhere else. We fell in love with the heated flooring, there was plenty of space to store and dry gear and even more room for our family of four to spread out and find a nook to play, read or relax. The warmth, comfort and convenience of the chalet was really something to look forward to for us all. I can't recommend Zen Chalet highly enough. The staff were as amazing as the chalets themselves and went to extreme lengths to look after us and the other guests. Another party staying at the chalets had a very badly injured guest (skiing accident) and the staff really went above and beyond to help this poor fellow out and make sure he got the care he needed. The guests were unfortunately having all sorts of problems with insurance companies, transport, ambulances and language barriers and I would hate to think how things would have ended for them had the Zen Chalet staff not intervened. Well done Team Zen Chalet! We will be back! Thank you for everything

Best family holiday yet!

As our friends who we are traveling through Japan with booked the accommodation and there were only two chalets available at the time they got the good villa which I would definitely recommend - it is lovely. Unfortunately we got an old chalet (mountainside) which is in need of updating, especially carpets and toilet (the only place in Japan not to have had a modern Toyo toilet!!) The chalet didn’t feel that clean but maybe that’s just it’s age and the wooden interior.  Although it says it sleeps 5 it would be more suitable for a couple. Although a couple with small children could fit, I wouldn’t recommend it due to the stairs which are very steep and to use the almost ‘outside’ toilet you need to use the stairs! Positives: nice welcome supplies, comfortable bed, it is near the gondola and staff are helpful just make sure you book one of the new villas😀
