Very well-priced. Basic old-style Japanese accommodation with shared toilets and washing facilities in corridors. Japanese bath on ground floor.
Good coffee shops for breakfast not too far away: Head café (near Adam gondola); Lion Adventure café (near bus terminal); café Senjeu further down towards railway station; café Baisen Kobo opposite Hotel Panorama. Excellent coffee at North Face in front of A-Coop supermarket. Lots of books to read and free computer use. Gravity Worx coffee is also good and they do food, near railway station.
Japanese restaurant behind Lion Adventure café does great vegetable tempura.
Favourite ski area was Iwatake, followed by Goryu/Hakuba 47. Also enjoyed Norikura, resort before Cortina, to which it is linked. Small but fun.
Zenkoji temple complex in Nagano makes a fantastic day out. Lots of old-style shops and cafes nearby. Buses every hour from Hakuba.
