Staff are nice. Place are clean. Everything is so nice.

Eggs for breakfast would have been lovely. A better option for storing our clothes in the room. Clear the ice/ snow off the back stairs as it was tricky to navigate the steps to access the skis/drying room

Great location. Log fire. Good breakfast. Friendly staff. Jake went straight out and bought new hairdryers when I reported one wasn’t working 😊

Loved the place, would stay again without a doubt.

Beds were comfy n warm. Open space lounge with communal tables and sofas made it a very welcoming place. Breakfast was simple and tasty. Good selection of pastries, muffins, toast, cheese, yoghurt and fruit. A mini oven, microwave, kettle with tea and coffee available in the lounge made the place more comfortable; like a home away from home. Staff were always friendly. The pick up service from the Hakuba St on check in day was very appreciated!! The Joint is also very centrally located to a convenience store, and all the buses that pass Echoland.

Our 3rd stay at The Joint. Thanks Jake for looking after us so well.

The only improvement I could recommend is a second washing machine but that is trivial.

The staff were amazing, super friendly and helpful. The accommodation was cozy and I was always comfortable. The other guests were great to be around. We will be coming back when we visit Hakuba again.

A little more storage in the room would have been great but it wasn’t an issue at all. Maybe some more wall hooks.

No fuss, easy access to a bus stop and local stores and venues. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Nothing really for me to complain about!! The guests in my 6 bed dorm said there was a snorer in the dorm, whom was relocated to another room. Im 46 and shared the dorm with a lot of young kids in there 20’s and the never woke me up after they had drinks with there friends.. Very respectful..

The joint Echoland Hakuba is very central to all dining bars and food… Also very close to Hoppoone.. I myself walked there when there’s a free shuttle bus.. Very beautiful the Japanese Alps!! Love Hakuba..

Nitpicking but some kind of vacant/occupied signage for the shared toilets would be nice. Hard to find faults for this place, would definitely stay again!

Located right in the heart of Echoland. It was easy to catch the shuttle buses to the different snow fields in Hakuba, especially with a Hakuba valley pass. The toilets and showers were all very clean and never had to wait for them. The manager Jake was always available and responsive if you had any questions, plus he picked me up from the bus station. I slept in the dorm room and the bunk beds were extremely comfortable and warm. This place has maybe the best drying room I’ve ever used in snow accommodation. There is a nice little common area with a fireplace and friendly interactions with other travellers. Nice & basic breakfast included - loved the raisin toast!

Easy 100 meters to train station in echo land and close to lots of restaurants although bookings are required at many or you’ll need to eat early. The Joint was very clean and homely and we really enjoyed our stay. The breakfast was good and the bed was super comfortable!

This was our second stay at the Joint. Jake and his team do a great job of looking after all the guests. The location is perfect and so convenient.

Some guests didn’t stick to the quiet after 10pm rule and some parties took over the common area at the exclusion of others.

Location was great, walk to everywhere.

- some beds in the dorm are very squeaky

- lots of storage underneath the bunks in dorm for winter gear - big showers (luxury in Japan) - very nice and cozy common space - friendly and responsive staff

Going back from the slopes is harder as you need to access specific bus stops at specific times, tho I cant say if this is the same for all the other accomodations since this is the only one I have been to washing machine was not working properly, clothes turn out wet, if you have limited clothing, this might be an issue a bit hard to get into if coming from hakuba train station or happo bus terminal, if you have no car.. consider hiring a car with your mates for better accessibility

Easy access to shuttle bus that take you to slopes rooms are better than what is in the photos helpful staff breakfast available can accept luggage delivery there is a drying room available
