WINTER STAY
Welcome to winter paradise
Takasu Town, where the holiday house is located, is the area with the most ski resorts in Western Japan. Hirugano Kogen Ski Resort, perfect for families and beginners, is within walking distance, and Takasu Snow Park & Dynaland, the largest in Western Japan, is an 8-minute drive away. Enjoy winter in Japan with other attractions, including Bokka no Sato, perfect for playing in the snow.
You can enjoy winter sports from early December to late March. (Playing in the snow is from late December to early March.)
①【Car renting】
We recommend renting a car in Nagoya.
Traveling by car gives you more travel options.
You can go to the ski resort whenever you want and enjoy night skiing.
(There are no shuttle buses during night skiing hours.Also there is no access to [Bokka no sato].)
You can also enjoy meals and hot springs at nearby restaurants.
Besides skiing, why not visit Hida Takayama, Shirakawa-go, Gujo Hachiman, and other sightseeing spots?
★There may also be snow on the road.When renting a car, be sure to specify studless snow tires.
Driving on snow with normal tires is prohibited by law.
There is ample parking available. No reservations are required.
We recommend Toyota Rent a Car, which is located inside the station and allows easy drop-off at Takayama Station and other cities.

After a day of sightseeing, why not unwind in one of the many nearby hot springs?
Holiday House does not have a hot spring, but you can enjoy a hot spring nearby.
If you are only going to rent gear for one day, it is convenient to rent it at each ski resort.
However, if you are going to rent for several days, "Rental shop Olympia", the next to Holiday House, is convenient and reasonable.For rentals of 4 days or more, this shop is cheap and recommended. >Reservation form for 4 days or more
Use Google Translate on the website below to make a reservation in advance and have a fitting on the day or the day before.
After that, you just need to return it on the last day.
However, if you are going to drive straight home after skiing at Takasu Snow Park on the last day instead of going back to the hotel, "Rental Yamato" and "Rental Earthwork" next to the entrance gate of the snow park are convenient. We recommend that you use different rental shops depending on the situation.
The reservation site only offers rentals for up to three days.If you would like to rent for four days or more, please contact us by email, as the hotel staff will make the reservation for you. "info@hgg.jp”
