Another great offering for self-contained accommodation in the Hakuba valley, Mountainside is best suited for guests looking for ski-in/ski out accommodation, as well a those looking for something a little more ‘hands on’ than true self contained. With a staffed front desk during the day, and ‘Luce’ – a well appointed restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner on the ground floor – guests can enjoy the privacy of an apartment, but with the connivence of these amenities. Situated at the foot of Happo One and in the Wadano area, Mountainside’s newly finished apartments are within walking distance to a selection of restaurants, Onsens and an excellent rental shop – Rhythm.
