The lodge is beautiful and located in a nice and quiet area of Hakuba. The owners Eric and Fumi are amazing! So accomodating and helpful and always willing to do whatever they can to make your stay enjoyable. The rooms are very spacious and spotless with lovely touches that make you feel at home. The breakfast that was provided was always delicious. There is nothing I could fault with Backcountry Lodge and we will definitely be back again.
