About this hotel
Hakuba Happo Onsen Maruishi provides a straightforward and authentic Japanese experience for those visiting Hakuba. The rooms are unfussy, with some featuring traditional tatami floors, offering a glimpse into local culture. The hotel's bathhouse, fed by natural hot springs, is a key draw, perfect for unwinding after a day on the slopes.

Our take
Maruishi is a budget two-star hot spring hotel in Hakuba, with unfussy rooms, some on traditional tatami floors, a bathhouse and on-site dining. It is a short walk from Hakubahappo Onsen and local restaurants. Its 9.2 from 181 reviews shows guests rate it well above its category. I would choose it for travellers who want an authentic onsen stay on a modest budget and do not need Western-style hotel comforts.

Why guests love itMaruishi is a relaxed, budget-friendly hot spring hotel, and it gave our family an authentic taste of Japan. We chose a room with traditional tatami floors, and the kids loved sleeping on futons. The bathhouse was the highlight after cold days on the slopes, warming us right through. On-site dining kept evenings easy, and Hakubahappo Onsen and local restaurants are a short walk away. Unfussy and good value.
