Ever had a dream? After chasing winters around the world this is ours: a tricked out lodge in the powder capital of the world. The seemingly endless powder was what brought us here and ultimately kept us here. We are called 'The Phat House' for a reason. With wicked views front and back, massive rooms, a bar and restaurant, a backyard jib park, and an unparalleled focus on service we simply are the Phattest accommodation in Hakuba, Japan. We strive to impart our passion for the pow on you and will do our utmost to make sure you leave having had a killer of a time!

This was my third visit in forth years and this place never gets old - it has an amazing warm feel, with an awesome crew! The food and bar is a perfect area to relax, recharge and rest. Plus a local Onsen five minutes walk away or the Hot Tub in the garden!!!!

The phat house is an awesome place to stay if your looking to ski or snowboard in Hukuba. The lodge is centrally located within the valley and provides heaps of options to access all the various mountains with their shuttle buses. All the staff are really friendly and always accomodating and I would definitely recommend it!!! Their restaurant serves great food and the lodge offers a relaxing atmosphere. I’ll be heading back next year for sure.

Rocked up to Hakuba under the weather, Phoebe the absolute legend picked me Up from the station and took me straight to the pharmacy. Sorted me out with some sick translation and ended up in some Good times at the bar. Phatty is a sick place to unwind after a huge day on the Slopes. Staff are sick and the beers are cold. 10/10 would recommend. Only thing is, the house is a tiny bit out of town. They have a shuttle that takes you in though so no dramas.

We have been going to the Phat House for the last five years, and each year is better than the last. This place is awesome, the staff go above and beyond to make your stay memorable. The atmosphere here is so friendly, everyone gets together at night and swaps stories from the days riding, over great food and music. There is even a jib park next to the house for frothers that haven*t had there fill for the day. A hot tub to soak the weary bones after a big day and Mo making some mad cocktails, makes for the best times. They even take you to the snow and pick you up at the end of the day. If you stay anywhere else in Hakuba, its definately your loss..

Hands down best accommodation I’ve ever had! The crew were so welcoming and helpful in getting you to the best spots on the best days and making sure you were the first ones on first tracks. Their shuttle bus ran down to the minute they said it would with no hiccups at all. Mo’s skills behind the bar were second to none in hyping everyone up to turn one on and have some of the funniest nights of your life. What followed with a dreadful hangover and window full of fresh powder over night was a breakfast on point and tabs barista skills to get you amped on a massive day on the mountain. They say once you visit the PHATTY you become family and that’s true to a T. With all the up most respect to each and every single person working at the The Phat House.

Do yourself a favour and stay at The Phat house! It is not just accomodation, it is an experience! The staff organise everything for you from mountain transfers and pick up/drop off, breakfast/dinner. It honestly feels like a home surrounded by new and exciting people. We made so many great mates throughout our stay. I will be coming back every year from now. 10/10!!!

If you’re in Hakuba, you need to stay at The Phat House. I had the absolute pleasure to stay there again for 10 days during a 3 week trip. It’s hard to put into words how much I enjoyed my time there. From the get go the service was unreal, being picked up straight away from the bus terminal by the lovely Tabitha and taken straight to my glorious home for the next week and a half. On arrival I was quickly greeted by the majority of the staff some old some new. Denzel, Mo and Dan with their experience ensured the place ran seamlessly. I can’t comprehend how nice the staff are, going above and beyond consistently, dropping people all over the valley at all different times. Definitely have to shout them out, Liam, Zenna, Javon, Bisho and Pheebs were all fantastic, literally cannot fault them. The bar creates a great atmosphere and provides some great times. The food is also delicious if you feel like eating in, thank you Ash for all the feeds! I could not recommend The Phat House enough to someone looking to spend some time in Hakuba. The shuttles are a huge necessity, the staff are flawless and the vibe is unreal. Thank you everyone for making my stay so wonderful!!!…

The Phat house is easily my favourite alpine accomodation that i have stayed at in my 12 years of riding. I went there off a recommendation from a friend and would be more than happy to confidently recommend it to any body. I stayed there for 6 weeks but never once got home sick through the combination of the immaculate cozy facilities, lodge lay out and incredibly helpful, friendly staff. Everything you could ever need after a long day of riding from a ps4, snow movies constantly running on a projector or tv, books, foam rollers, comfy couches, great food with a full bar in the living room and even a hot tub. The shuttle services are also a life saver! I found not many other lodges or hotels run a shuttle service to and from the mountains or town and if so they charge. The phat black bus is completely free and runs basically on the hour morning through till night with the exception of a few hours around lunchtime. The staff are super knowledgeable of the local mountains and town as well and more than happy to share some well kept secrets food spots or recommend where the best place might be to ride the next day.…
