Hirata is full of gourds
"Tsugaike Kogen no Yado Hirata" is located in a place where the Hakuba mountain range of the Northern Alps spreads out before the entrance like a panorama, and the Bell Ringing Hill slope is right in front of you.
The gondola is also just 3 minutes away, making it extremely convenient. If you get tired of skiing, you can come back to the inn for a short rest, go out for a night ski while watching the snow fall, or best of all, be the first to hit the powder snow in the morning! At Hirata, all of these things are easy to do.
In addition to this location, the appeal of Hirata is its delicious food, and its homely atmosphere where guests are welcome to talk to us about skiing, Tsugaike, any problems you may have, and more. You can ask us anything about skiing? What does that mean...?

The young master is a mountain guide, Shinya Hirata.
You can also experience mountain skiing.
