Mojo Lodge Hakuba

Great and accommodating staff. Good array of guests with whom to share experiences.

The location only being about a 10 minute walk to the slopes was amazing. The staff are super friendly and are really helpful. Most activities are under a 10 minute drive away making the location perfect.

Marino Lodge was a very comfy, cosy, friendly and relaxed place to stay. We had travelled for a long time from Australia, and it was a great first stop on our travels. The breakfasts were delicious, the pizza’s amazing (especially great because we had little kids with us), the staff were warm and helpful, especially so when we needed a bit of extra help with lifts in the van because of a skiing injury my wife sustained - nothing was too much trouble. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again or recommend to anyone heading to Hakuba.

We stayed a week after the season had kind of closed, so we had some trouble with accessing everything we needed across Hakuba as things were closing down and seasonal staff were heading off. We were very lucky to be there for some exceptional snow fall, and I would love to come back again in season.

You can have a good conversation with the staff, and the common area is a great place to relax after a big day out. They are eager to help you out where possible. Home made breakfast each morning was fantastic as well.

Only a small thing I feel, but noteworthy regardless. The queen / kingside bed I had was essentially 2 singles pushed together. Can be a little uncomfortable sleeping in the middle of the bed.

Beautiful lodge that felt like home! Fresh, hot breakfast that changed every morning made upon request, while also had the usual cereals/toast/pastries/fresh fruits/juices available. The pizza shop ran out of the lodge was also extremely convenient and delicious after a big day of snowboarding - they even deliver straight to your room! Staff were more than happy to drop off anywhere around Hakuba from morning to night in lodge vans. Fantastic stay after being in hotels for rest of trip.

Morino Lodge was the perfect choice for our family’s introduction to Japow! The team that run the lodge made us feel right at home, and were so great with our two girls. Our eldest even said she wanted to live there! Cooked breakfast every morning, and transport around the village made life so much easier. Being conveniently located close to Evergreen Ski School for kids, and the Tokyu Hotel for shuttles to other mountains sealed the deal. We’ll definitely be back.

The room was very comfortable with a wonderful view. Breakfast was good.

Not a lot. Staff were pleasant enough, would give you lifts to places if they were free. Lots of wardrobe space. Nice shower.

Beds were not good, dipped in the middle. We turned the mattress and that was slightly better, but still not good. Very bright in the room during the night, as outside lights were on, no curtains to block any light out. I resorted to wearing an eye mask at night. When they switched the extractor fan on downstairs, it vibrated the bathroom door and I could hear and feel it through the pillows, hence we had to ask them to switch it off. Breakfast was very poor, only one cooked option available each day, none of it cooked well. We had porridge twice in a 7 day stay, it was pretty bad with burnt apples. ( caramelised should not mean burnt!) also took them a long time to cook it, we were hard pushed trying to catch buses after waiting for breakfast to be served. It seems to double up as a pizza delivery service to the rest of Hakuba, no meal option on an evening except maybe a pizza as long as you order early enough, as it could be an hour and a half wait. This has got to be the worst lodge I have stayed in. No facilities except a tiny drying room ( skis have to stay outside, and they are not locked up) Very small lodge. Why this is rated 4 stars is beyond me.

Casual atmosphere, very helpful and friendly staff.

Bit a effort to get to town and back.

The staff went above and beyond to drive guests to restaurants, shopping, gondola, bus stops, etc

That we were only there 4 days

We only stayed one night here, but was made to feel incredibly comfortable and welcome. The staff were exceptional!! They were always ready to help and answered all our travellers questions.

We had a spacious twin bedded room (No:3) with traditional Japanese deco & ensuite. Lovely view from our window of the snow laddened forrest. Heating was excellent. Atmosphere was welcoming & friendly. Many English speaking staff. Eri was an especially helpful & patient front of house staff member (grateful thanks Eri?). Transport was cheerfully organised for our convenience.

The variety of breakfasts was great with a different option each day. Porridge was a family favourite.

Sometimes the kitchen staff seemed run off their feet during breakfast and the coffee would take some time to come out.

Morino Lodge Hakuba offers cozy accommodations, excellent service, and quiet hidden place away from the main village, ma

Morino Lodge was AMAZING! We stayed for 16 days at Hakuba and this was by far the best service / value we experienced in our 8 day stay. The staff were amazing :)

Morino lodge is not and does not pretend to offer 5 star luxury, but it is very clean and comfortable with a chilled atmosphere and positive vibe. The team at the lodge are exceptional and will do anything they can to make your stay as enjoyable and hassle free as possible. The breakfast is great, with a different hot option every morning and the pizzas are delicious, which you can enjoy with a locally brewed beer from the bar.

Nothing at all.

Super friendly and helpful staff. Very welcoming. Clean and large rooms.

Matt & Eri had definitely made the stay enjoyable. They gave us really good recommendations & when we had a medical emergency they gave their full support.We loved the variety of food for breakfast & how warm and cozy the lodge felt.

Wish the pillows were a little fluffier ?

Staff went out of their way to assist as we had a large group including my parents and 3 young children. Lodgings were clean and comfortable, and it was very convenient - a close 5 minutes drive to the shops.

There is free shuttle bus station next to the Hotel (3 min walk) which can send you to different ski parks nearby. Free Laundry service is provided but you have to pay the dryer.

There are very limited restaurants around for dinner.
