“A great family stay”

Surroundings, cosy vibes and very welcoming

“Acceptable but not for the price point”

Clean spacious

“Relaxing and we enjoyed our stay”

Everyone was so helpful from helping us do shopping to organising transfers. The villa was large and comfortable

“Fantastic stay, would recommend if you want to ski!”

We stayed for a week at Gakuto Villas to do some spring skiing. The staff were extremely helpful and communicated on WhatsApp well. The daily shuttle to the supermarket was really helpful. The villa is really spacious with a mud room for drying skis, a washing machine plus two large bedrooms. The orientation of the windows mean the you look out onto the forest and it feels very secluded. As we were out of season a lot of restaurants and the shuttle bus were done for the season, but we could see there was a lot close by in season.

“Wonderful trip. Perfect for family who want to ski.”

Self check in, very easy. The staff was so nice and helpful.

The villa is spacious, quite and have all the utilities at our disposal. We like the individually controlled underfloor heating, the ski gears can be easily stored at the entrance. The location can not be better, the shuttle bus stop is right next to the villa entrance and a number of restaurants and cafe are nearby. The Sakka Chair Lift and ski gear rental company is about seven hundred meters away from the villa. The host started contacting as soon as the booking was made, the guidebook sent beforehand was comprehensived and practical，There was a discount in purchasing ski pass as Gakuto s a member of the Happono hotel alliance. We had a problem with the car since the tie chains failed. The host responded very quickly to help us to find the store to purchase the new tire chain. The villa driver sent us and the luggage to my car, and helped making arrangement with the car park owner to move my car to a safe location.He was so friendly and helpful that I cannot thank him enough. It was an pleasant experience with Gakuto and would love to return in the future.

“Beautiful property with lovely staff, who were very helpful through the WhatsApp service.”

Really well laid out property. Huge rooms and very comfortable furniture. Beautiful picture windows looking outside and the heating was a great addition.

“Great location, modern facilities, spacious and very responsive managing company. Couldn’t fault. ( except for sofa)”

The decor was great. Very spacious and good separation with two bedrooms.

“spacious clean villa”

Super clean villas, spacious and well located. Probably easier to rent a car to ski in more areas than wait for bus. Showers were amazing and washer and dryer were life saving. No need to use dryer as in the winter everything dries fast with the snow.
