SCOUT REVIEW
With spectacular views from all rooms, Goryukan is well located on the outskirts of Happo Village and only a five-minute walk from the Hakuba ski slopes. With friendly staff and comfortable, spacious western and Japanese rooms, Goryukan will not disappoint.
The hotel holds on to many Japanese traditions and is a great place to get an insight into the local culture. Don your yukata (Japanese robe), dip in the Onsen hot springs and dine on fresh sashimi for a true taste of Japan.
There is a large open lobby lounge area staring directly at the beautiful ski slopes and this Japanese Ryokan Hotel boasts what is considered Hakuba’s finest indoor and outdoor natural onsen with a great sauna. In addition to relaxing in the minerals of the hot springs, why not enjoy a massage on site after a hard day’s skiing or head to the Water Bar for a range of drinks to help with any aches and pains?
Rooms at Goryukan range from traditional Japanese rooms and some more westernised rooms with western beds.

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.
