Guest services · Sugoi Chalets

A smoother stay, from arrival to checkout.

We’re a small family-run chalet business, not a hotel or large accommodation company. Our service is personal and practical: clear arrival help, honest local recommendations and support when something at the chalet needs attention.

Before you arrive

Start your stay prepared.

A little planning makes Hakuba much easier. We will give you the information you need without overwhelming you with pages of instructions.

Check-in

Arrival and bag storage

Standard check-in is 4:00pm at Sugoi Chalet and 3:00pm at Chalet Luna. Early check-in may be possible, depending on whether cleaning has been completed. Luggage can be stored in the chalet’s dry room while you wait.

We’ll message you if the chalet is ready ahead of the standard check-in time.

Local knowledge

Places we genuinely recommend

We can point you towards restaurants, coffee spots, ski hire, ski schools and local activities that suit your group.

Simple answers before you travel

Departure

Checkout and drop-off

Standard checkout is 10:00am. Late checkout may not be available during winter when new guests are arriving the same day.

Winter guests can arrange a complimentary drop-off to Hakuba Station or Happo Bus Terminal.

Winter pickup service

Winter arrivals, we’ll meet you in Hakuba.

Complimentary pickup is available during winter only. Both chalets are a short drive from Hakuba’s main arrival points.

Winter-only complimentary pickup

Available for chalet guests during the winter season from either of these arrival points:

Hakuba StationJR Oito Line arrivals

Winter guests — please send us: your arrival date, expected arrival time, number of guests and the number of large ski or snowboard bags. Larger groups may require two trips.
Green season: Pickup and transfer service is not available.
During your stay

Help when it matters.

You have privacy at the chalet, but you are not left on your own when you genuinely need assistance.

Chalet support

If something is not working properly—heating, hot water, Wi-Fi or an appliance—message us with a clear description and photo if possible so we can help quickly.

❄

Snow and parking

Both chalets have heated driveways. We monitor access during winter and clear built-up snow around the parking areas, while guests should still expect to clear fresh snow from their own vehicles.

Clear communication

Most support is handled by message so details do not get lost. For urgent chalet problems, contact us as soon as you notice the issue rather than waiting until checkout.
