Why choose it
For a ski incentive or a mountain team retreat where the group sleeps, dines and goes outdoors in one place, about 2h30 from Tokyo.
Possible limits
Meeting and banquet rooms are not detailed on the official site, so capacities must be confirmed case by case. Reopens in December 2026 after renovation and a change of operator, so there is little track record. Located in Otari, north of Hakuba: plan transfers and winter logistics (snow, tyres, timings).
Airport
Narita or Haneda: transfer to Tokyo Station, then the Hokuriku Shinkansen to Nagano and the hotel shuttle; the hotel quotes about 2h30 from Tokyo. Shinshu-Matsumoto Airport: about 35 min by bus to Matsumoto Station, then train or road to Hakuba.
Station
Free shuttle, on reservation, from Nagano Station (Hokuriku Shinkansen) and Hakuba Happo Bus Terminal. Free parking for 300 cars and 20 coaches (coach spaces must be reserved).
