Overview
Hotel Green Plaza Hakuba is an onsen resort hotel at the foot of the Northern Japan Alps, directly in front of the Hakuba Cortina Ski Resort. It has a communal bath fed by its own Okuhakuba Onsen source, which rises from 1,221 m underground, a dinner buffet with a kids' menu and baby food, and Japanese-Western and maisonette rooms with co-sleeping rules. In winter there is a kids park connected to the slopes, and in summer around 30 hands-on programs, making it an easy choice for a family trip with children.
Rooms
The basic room type is a Japanese-Western room combining two single beds with an 8-tatami Japanese-style area. The standard Japanese-Western room is 29.8 sq m with three sets of futon bedding and sleeps 1 to 5 guests. For families and larger groups, there is also a 55.61 sq m maisonette type with a Western-style room on the first floor and a Japanese-style tatami room on the second. It has two single beds, an extra bed and four sets of futon bedding, and sleeps up to 7 guests; the entrance is on the second floor, so stairs are involved and guests unsteady on their feet should take care. The upgraded Cortina Room is 29.8 sq m with two sets of futon bedding and comes with early check-in at 2 p.m. and late checkout at 11 a.m. No room includes a futon-laying service, and no barrier-free rooms are available.
Dining
Dinner is the Shunsai Shinshu Buffet, which draws on Shinshu regional cooking and comes with a soft-drink bar offering 15 kinds of drinks, plus a kids' menu and baby food. Breakfast is a Japanese-Western buffet served from 6:30 a.m. to 9 a.m.
Baths and Onsen
The hotel's own Okuhakuba Onsen source rises from 1,221 m underground and is a sodium bicarbonate spring rich in hydrogen carbonate ions, known as a bath that is good for the skin. There are eight tubs in all, including a jacuzzi, a large bath, a lying-down bath, a rock bath with a view, a hinoki bath, a medicated bath and a kaburiyu (water poured over yourself before entering the bath), along with saunas: a löyly sauna and a mist sauna on the men's side and a rock-salt sauna on the women's side. One baby bed is set up in the changing room of the women's bath. Some plans let staying guests bathe free of charge before check-in and after checkout (towels are available to rent for a fee).
