About Us
This land, embraced by the Northern Japan Alps with its majestic mountain ranges, was pioneered by people during the Meiji era. Many travelers have visited this area seeking mountaineering, skiing, and communion with nature. Through the Taisho and Showa periods, and after the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics, Hakuba has become a globally recognized destination.
It is by no means an easy environment for human habitation.
Nevertheless, here you will find breathtaking views and powerful yet delicate natural beauty that cannot be encountered in urban areas. The 3000-meter peaks, including the Hakuba Sanzan (Three Mountains of Hakuba), are home to alpine plants that thrive only in limited environments, where the harshness and beauty of nature intersect.
We open our inn in this special place. So that you can experience with all five senses the unique scenery and flow of time that can only be found here.
Along with Hakuba’s high-quality water and air, and the changing seasons, we deliver a “memorable stay experience” that can only be obtained here to all who visit.
We create a healing stay rooted in this land.
We create warm connections where locals and travelers intersect.
Our Philosophy
At Alpen Blick Iriyamato, we believe in the Japanese concept of “omotenashi” – providing heartfelt hospitality that anticipates the needs of our guests before they are expressed.
We strive to create a peaceful environment where guests can relax, rejuvenate, and connect with nature. Our goal is to ensure that every visitor leaves with fond memories and a desire to return.
We are also committed to sustainability and preserving the natural beauty of Hakuba Village for future generations. We actively participate in local environmental initiatives and encourage our guests to join us in these efforts.
