Our first time in Hakuba, and we were greeted by the friendliest team at the Phat House. They really are perfectly equipped for a snow trip and couldn't be more helpful with shuttles, advice, everything. It's a real social vibe, pop downstairs to the bar and chat to randoms who quickly become snow buddies. The bar has great specials every night and the food was fantastic. For those on a budget, 7/11 is a 10 min walk down the road for supply runs. The outdoor hot tub was great for mending the muscles. We liked this place so much we extended our stay by 2 nights cause we didn't want to leave! Thanks guys and girls, see you again next year Phat House!
