Pension Belnina

I can add very little more than the other reviews Breakfast - bacon,sausage,toms,mushrooms; cereal, toast - tea/coffee - delicious. Bedrooms are comfortable. Shared sinks, toilets, showers were never an issue for us. Ski locker room - large and hot for drying Onsen x 2, which we used every day. The communal lounge is large and relaxing. Yutaka the host was fantastic The location being in Echoland is the best with many bars and restaurants and buses to the different ski lifts. WiFi very good Would I recommend- yes Would I return- definitely

So long as you don’t mind sharing bathrooms- which we didn’t- there is nothing not to like.

Pension Belnina is perfectly located in Echoland Hakuba! 2 minute walk to the free shuttle buses to the snow resorts. Easy walk to rental shops for snowboarding/skiing gear, all the great cafes, restaurants and local supermarket. The room was warm and cozy, we had our own bathroom but made use of the private onsens everyday. Breakfast was the best part of our day (second to snowboarding I guess). It was so yummy and we are vegan but Taka and his wife have a beautiful buffet style breakfast every morning with so much variety, home made bread and muffins to fresh fruit to hot food like mushrooms eggs bacon etc. Taka was so helpful, he picked us up from the train station and made sure we were comfortable throughout our whole stay. We are so lucky we booked at Pension Belnina and will be recommending it to everyone on our travels and will be bringing our friends back one day :)

Pension Belnina was the perfect place to stay in winter to enjoy Hakuba snow fields. Located in Echoland, there is lots of restaurants and food options around the corner from where the accommodation is located. The hosts were so kind and helpful (e.g. calling taxis, making dinner reservations). They were very willing to help you in any way possible. Rooms were nice, basic but had everything you required. The whole accommodation was clean and very tidy. Awesome breakfast in the morning as well.

At first it was overwhelming to pick a hotel because everywhere seemed good and we didn’t know the area. So we chose Belnina and so, so glad we did. Belnina was a perfect place to stay in Echoland. As others said, Taka was an exceptional host and delivered best advice about where to ski, rent, and eat (try the ramen place- so good!) the location was perfect, 2 min walk to rental company, bus, and delicious restaurants. The hotel itself was clean and inviting, the breakfast was perfect, and we loved the private onsen after a day of skiing. Definitely recommend you stop scrolling and just book this place!

Everything was wonderful.

This is such a lovely place! The rooms were large and comfortable, onsen and showers were amazing after a day skiing, and the breakfast was divine. The baked goods each morning were so yummy. On top of that, Taka is super friendly and provided us with everything we needed including a lift to and from Happo Bus Terminal. Echo land is also a wonderful location to be based in for food options as well as the free shuttles to and from the ski resorts.

Taka (the host) was super friendly and helpful, with great advice every morning on the best hills to go that day and made you feel very welcome. Cooked beakfast was amazing, sets you up perfectly for the day with the little onsens downstairs helping the post-snow recovery. Bus stops to free shuttles for the resorts a couple minutes away. Drying room downstairs for all your gear. A great stay, would come back again.

the owner Yutakasan is the best I have so far. he’s very welcoming and assisted us with whatever we need during our stay (from helping us to book for a taxi in the middle of the night, to lend me some of the skiing equipment) & the location is very near to the slope shuttle bus stop, the property is clean, warm, cozy and very homey. the breakfast was execellent! they also have a private onsen in the property. super highly recommended to stay here!

Belnina had a very nice family feel. Taka, Seiko and their friend Danny made our stay fantastic. Taka was very helpful with resort information and went beyond by picking us up and dropping us to the station. Seiko and Danny did a great job with breakfast, especially with the homemade baking. The drying room was great and the onsen was a great addition after a day on the slopes. We will definitely be back!

Location within Echoland is good, close to bus stop, ski rental and restaurants. Rooms were ok, slightly cold but eventually warmed up when the underfloor heating came on. The onsen was amazing after skiing for the day, the hot breakfast was delicious, especially the muffins etc. The host was helpful and spoke good English.

We were thoroughly impressed by the owner's homemade breakfast. For the price, the attention to detail and quality of ingredients truly stood out. Each morning we had different meals made from local and seasonal ingredients. The small dining room was beautiful. The owner is very friendly and seems to have much experience traveling around the world. There are two lovely hot spring baths. Enjoyed the baths so much.
