The check in process was a nightmare. Extra costs had not been mentioned on the Expedia website at the time of making reservations so there were issues during check in and it didn't help that the staff spoke zero english.
Nice hostel near on the way up to Hakuba Rogyu ski park.
No snow on mid december when we arrived, however the host did inform us the situation. No activities during winter if no snow, a lot of empty home stay or not open, we are the only guest during our stay.
Room need renovation especially no heating seat on room wc during freezing night unless you go to public toilet.
Need to drive on own if stay in this hostel.
