Summit Views Hakuba

Summit Views Hakuba is a newly renovated hotel in Hakuba's Happo Village, set near Nakiyama at Happo-One Ski Resort. The property offers panoramic views of the Northern Alps and the Nagano Olympic Ski Jumping Stadium, and caters to guests who want a base in Hakuba for either the ski season or the quieter green season. The hotel is managed by SOLEX Inc. and markets an annual membership scheme aimed at repeat visitors and longer-stay guests.

The setup is more hotel-with-community than pure coliving. All eight room types are private and ensuite, with in-room air conditioning, flat-screen TV, fridge, kettle, and bidet. Shared facilities include a lounge bar, a natural hydrogen onsen, a sauna, coin laundry, a dedicated ski gear dry room, and a shuttle bus service. In summer the rooftop terrace opens, offering mountain views from above. The on-site restaurant Izakaya Fuga serves Japanese dinner dishes including sashimi, wagyu, sukiyaki, and regional Nagano specialties, with vegetarian options on the menu and vegan or gluten-free meals available on request.

The annual membership costs ¥20,000/year and provides a 10% discount on room rates for up to three rooms, 10% off restaurant and terrace bills, and a complimentary drink on arrival. For remote workers who want to return to Hakuba across multiple seasons, this positions Summit Views as a recurring base rather than a one-off stay. WiFi is included in all rooms and common areas. There is no dedicated coworking workspace, so residents who need to work seriously typically combine the hotel with visits to coworking spots in the Hakuba village center.
