Kudo's Lodge  

Tucked into Hakuba's mountain area, Kudo's Lodge is a short drive from the region's top slopes. It's 4.5 miles from Happo One Ski Resort, 5 miles from Hakuba Cortina and just 1.7 miles from Tsugaike Kogen. Matsumoto Airport is about 45 miles away, with Nagano Station roughly 31 miles.

This three-bedroom villa opens onto a balcony and a terrace with mountain views, plus an inner courtyard on a quiet street. Interiors feature a flat-screen TV, a well-equipped kitchen with oven, microwave and toaster, and three bathrooms equipped with a bidet and slippers. Bed linen, towels and laundry service are provided for a comfortable stay.

Guests can relax in the garden and shared lounge, fire up the BBQ area, or use free private parking on site. A paid airport shuttle, transfer service, concierge, private check-in/out and an on-call doctor are available, and car rental can be arranged. The spot is ideal for winter sports and hiking—wake up to crisp mountain mornings and head straight to the slopes.
