The lobby and lounge are big and open with lots of intimate seating areas with a pot-belly stove and cosy bar area, which will help you appreciate your need to rest, rejuvenate and share your thoughts and banter with other guests.
The hotel staff are all very friendly and they will assist, guide, drive, cook, drink, clean and do whatever that is necessary to make sure this is a great time for you in Hakuba and while staying at their hotel.
Location
Hotel Abest Happo Aldea is a comfortable 3-star property located 250 meters from the Sakka slope of Happo-One Ski Resort.
Other than making your starting point at the Sakka lift, you can actually just ski very close to and from the hotel by cutting through a small forest in the front of the hotel, then you can ski down to the lifts and again back through the forest on the way home. This means that the hotel is almost at the ski-in-ski-out location in the most desirable area of Wadano in Hakuba Village.
Skiing and Snowboarding students can then take the Sakka Kitaone Quad Lift and ski down to the Evergreen Ski School.
