Everything about our stay at Wadano Forest Hotel was as good, or better than expected. An escape, respite and adventure, in the Habuka winter wonderland. Joanie did a wonderful job of making us feel welcome and ensuring everything went smoothly.

The location is a bit off, about 5 minutes walk up hill from the last shuttle bus stop, and the breakfast is disappointing.

Kristin

Disliked: Cleanliness
It’s super close to a chair lift up Happo Mountain and a fantastic restaurant, The Rabbit Hole. Also close walking distance from other bus services. The Hot Pot meal was sensational! They’re very rigid with the hotel shuttle service, specifically if you’re not an “apartment resident”. It can be quite rowdy if people staying in room above. Was a bit unclean and not exactly value for money. Would suggest booking direct and packing ear plugs.

Hotel is in a quite location. Block F of Wadano. Close to the Sakka chair (5-10 min walk) and close to Genki-Go bus stop (4-5 min walk). Hotel is new and is clean with an onsen. Negatives are that there is little to no dinner options nearby (walking distance) so you will likely need to go into Happo town to eat - dont forget to reserve. Only other negative is the hotel seemed to have an odd noise to do with either hot water or sewage draining not sure which. The noise is enough to keep you awake.

Great place to stay, comfortable, roomy and clean. Bit far from the main area ( shops and grocery stores) but the lodge will take you around in their own vans, alternatively you can take the shuttle bus to the slopes. Walking distance to Sakke slope and spicy rental is down the street.

Hotel staffs were very attentive and efficient to our needs. One of the staff, KC, went extra miles and out of his ways to help us out with everything. Highly recommended to stay here. Location is very convenient and accessible to bars, restaurants and ski areas. We had a wonderful experience at wadano forest hotel. Would definitely go back to stay again!
