Brocken hutte

For the price, hard to get better than this. I’m coming to ski for 3 days in the Hakuba area. If you are like me, read on. Easy things first, the bad thing, this ryokan is located on top of a small hill, the last 50-100meter you need to walk up a small hill, in winter snowy times when the road is layered with snow or even ice, hauling your ski equipment is no easy task, if you are coming with kids or like me arriving at night could be challenging, location on google map is correct but the walk path is slight off. I managed to overcome all of this. Now the good things, you are within walking distance (10mins) to Happo One resort (the biggest in the ski area) and within 5mins to the bus terminal, which you take free ski bus (if you have the Hakuba valley ski pass) to other ski resort in the area meaning that once you get here it’s very nice (u still need to walk or ski down the small hill daily to get in/out). The owner speak little English, provide breakfast if u let them know 4pm on the day before. They also sell discount ticket to the 2 Onden nearby. Room is very clean and bathroom is shared but clean also. Bathroom is freezing cold when you go at night
