SCOUT REVIEW
Blue Bird Chalets are two stand-alone townhomes a short stroll from a number of restaurants, cafés and bars in Echoland. The Kazahana and Sekka apartments (the names of the two Blue Bird Chalets) are exactly the same and can be booked alone or together for groups of up to 16 guests.
Blue Bird Chalets are luxurious and offer all the comforts of home and more. There is on-demand TV, high-speed wireless internet, underfloor heating, a fully-equipped kitchen and, to top it off, a premium Japanese massage chair to soothe away the aches and pains after a hard day on the slopes.
The chalets boast pristine, open-plan living areas with magnificent views of the surrounding forest and the Hakuba Ski Jumping Stadium, used during the 1998 Winter Olympics. There are two 3-bedroom and 2-bathroom chalets right next to each other making Blue Bird Chalets perfect for large groups. Each chalet can accommodate up to eight guests in three rooms with double, twin and bunk bed configurations.

About Hakuba
The Hakuba Valley is one of Japan's most popular ski destinations for Westerners. Made up of 10 ski resorts, including the most well-known Happo One, Cortina, Iwatake, Goryu, and Hakuba 47, there are plenty of options for skiers and snowboarders of all ability levels. Whether you're a powderhound in search of some epic pow turns, or just looking for some mellow cuisey groomers, you're sure to fall in love with the Hakuba region. Happo (the main village) and the surrounding districts of Wadano and Echoland have everything you need for your ski holiday, including international snowsports schools, rentals, guiding options, convenience stores, and countless restaurants and bars. The area is particularly Westernised to cater for the international skier, however, you can still experience glimpses of Japanese culture via local restaurants, onsens, and day tours. Close to Tokyo, Nagano and other ski resorts in the region, Hakuba is a perfect option for first time families, couples, and those who enjoy the Western comforts of home.
