The Hakuba Powder Lodge Blizzard in Echoland was gorgeous for our family snowboarding holiday. The chalet was perfectly located close to the shops and restaurants in Echoland, a few bars close by and a short 10 - 15min picturesque walk to Happo. One of our favourite places to eat was the food trucks in echoland which were literally around the corner from the chalet. The chalet layout excellent for a family with plenty of space for our family of 5. It was well apppointed with the basics including bathroom supplies and cooking essentials. Nothing was too much trouble for the host Nick and his wife - even a last minute call to drop our son to the snowboard shop to return a board. Couldn’t recommend it highly enough - beautiful chalet, go out of their way hosts.

Beautiful chalet, perfect location, best time

The lodge itself is quite cozy and nice, but there were a few things that put me off. 

1. When you try to find powder lodging via google maps, it will send you to a different place in Echoland, where I first went. It was quite hard to find for us and took us several attempts. 

2. As we were staff, we were in fact relocating from permanent accommodation. I had read on the website that Nick would offer shuttling service, but when we called him to ask if he could help us with moving our luggage to the lodge, he said he was busy. 

3. In the first night of staying there, I suffered from an infection, which led me to struggling with insomnia all night. Not having slept for a single minute all night, I felt like a zombie. When I came downstairs, Nick told me I should go to the clinic and that it wasn't far. Feeling dizzy and weak, I walked out into the snowstorm and got completely lost. In fact, the clinic was about a 30-40 minute walk away in the snow, and I was quite upset that Nick hadn't even offered to give me a quick ride, as he obviously wasn't very busy at the time, chatting to all sorts of people for ages and then going snowboarding. In the state I was in, I had really appreciated someone taking me briefly to the hospital. I don't feel like he did anything t really help me, when I was in a pretty bad situation. 

4. The kitchen is very overcrowded. The fridges are completely overfilled. It is impossible to find your stuff everyday, as someone will have moved it to a different spot. 

5. Paying 3500 yen for a bed in a 6 person dorm also seemed quite overpriced.

Lodge owner Nick not very helpful towards his guests

Nick and Hiroko were excellent hosts. I had made a reservation on short notice and though it was technically the off-season, they were extremely accommodating. The place is in a great central location, close echo land and easy to get to all other parts of town including the 7/11 and takyubin (shipping company) just down the street. I'm looking forward to returning this winter!

Great stay in any season

I had such a good time here, arrived just before a big storm hit on Christmas Eve, spent 5 days here and was so happy we booked in again the next year. Nick and his wife are really nice and very helpful.

Best value for your money

I've never stayed at a lodge, used a communal kitchen, in fact I don't even ski. But I was on a trip with someone who does and I still enjoyed my time. Nick, the owner, helped with arrangements for a snow monkey tour, he helped find me a gym and was just overall very friendly and accommodating. The lodge was clean, rooms were ample sized, had a large kitchen, dining and communal areas and I had a wonderful time meeting the other guests and making friends. It's almost like staying at a friends house more than anything and I would recommend it to both individuals, couples and families traveling to the area.
