Nice and kind staff. Easy going. Clean. Nice breakfast. I am vegetarian and I was a bit limited but made do. A lot of fish/meat dishes. Skiing: easy free shuttles from the hotel and back. They have cheaper lift tickets for sale at the hotel. Had a nice home cooked meal nearby. The only issue is most of the laundry machines were out of service and the one available took 4 hours and the clothes were still damp. So I would only hope that they fix the laundry.

Amazing

The hotel rooms are a little bit dated but it was very spacious and comfortable, especially after a long day on the slopes. The Onsen was beautiful with an outside area to watch the snowfall. It’s a convenient location with only 10 minute walk to all the restaurants and the free snow shuttles stop right outside the door.

Never again

Dirty and old. The caravan type bathroom smelt awful (like sewarage)and the bed covers hadn't been washed in a while! Water in shower scalded my back, thank goodness it wasn't a baby/child :( Told reception staff and showed them the burns but they couldn't care less. Breakfast was just ok. Not good value for money at all.

Comfortable hotel with convenient shuttle services

Comfortable for small or large groups. Breakfast is good. They offer plenty of shuttles to get you around hakuba with the stop being just at the front of the hotel. Ski hire in the hotel is decent. Walking to echoland is about 15 mins which seems longer in the freezing cold.

Japanese service!

Tucked away at the end of a street in echoland, this little gem delivers all that's required for a snow getaway. Buses directly to almost every resort stop at the front door, good hotel facilities that provide comfort and an exemplary service team led by the manager. The manager was so helpful and attentive to the guests with no request to big or small.

Great Service

We stayed here for 2 nights in February 2016. Service throughout the hotel was great, the staff attended to our every need including taking us by shuttle to a ski rental shop and to the ski lifts. The hotel is about a 10 minute walk from restaurants, but there are shuttles that run regularly. Note that it is not possible to walk from this hotel to any ski lift, there are scheduled shuttles each morning along with the hotel shuttle upon request.

Clean, great staff and reliable staff.

Tucked away which makes getting out randomly a bit expensive. Breakfast food was lacking and bathrooms are tiny.

Great stay and great snow

Located at the end of Line 6, Oak Forest is within easy access of the slopes at Hakuba. We booked a Japanese traditional style room with futon, which the staff stored during the day and takes out before the evening. The tatami room was super clean and quite comfortable. Our room rate included breakfast, which was frankly average, and did not include dinner. We had dinner one night in the hotel which was also quite average. That the food was less than impressive is more than made up though by the on-site onsen (hot spring) which provided nice relaxation after a day of skiing. Also, the hotel is a 10 minute walk to Echoland, a strip with some restaurants and shops, offering better fare than the hotel itself. Overall, we had a very nice stay, a good ski vacation and was able to do so at reasonable cost with Oak Forest.
