Welcome to the Bears Den Mountain Lodge.  

Our aim is to provide quality western accommodation for your ski or snowboard holiday in Hakuba. Specializing in accommodation for small groups, families, couples or singles. We are just 300 Meters from Goryu Gondola and lifts at the Hakuba 47 Ski-resort, which means you can ski to our front door. Our luxury western boutique lodge provides both the comforts of home and convenience, making the most of your stay in Hakuba. We will assist you in planning and arranging all your holiday needs, from advice on local attractions and tours to ski hire and transfers to any of the local ski areas via our 10 seater van.


The Bears Den is located in the Hakuba Valley which is nestled in the heart of the Japanese Alps. Very few places in the world can rival the majesty, hospitality, scenery and snow of this amazing valley. Surrounded by 3000 meter peaks with an average snowfall of 11 meters are 10 world class resorts nearby with over 200 runs and back country touring that is easily some of the best in the world. With 11 meters of annual snowfall, the options are endless. 

Be it summer or winter there are an abundance of activities to suit everyone. Hakuba offers skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, hot air ballooning, paragliding, mountain biking, hiking, canoeing, wake boarding, motor biking, fishing, white water rafting, rock climbing, natural hot water onsens, and many nearby tourist attractions.



There are friends on powder days & we'll show you around!


Lesley & Riley come from Perth, Western Australia. We enjoy life in Hakuba year round, skiing, snowboarding and hiking are among our many interests in the Hakuba valley.

Japan is an amazing place to visit, even without the mountains! The diverse culture, incredible history and architecture, breathtaking scenery and of course the Japanese cuisine offers more than you can do in one visit.

Endless terrain of jagged peaks, epic amounts of snow, plenty of sunny days, long seasons and very few people! We hope we can share our local knowledge, good times, and your best mountain story ever.



Quote from "Snowboarding the World " 2006

"Japan is slowly but surely coming to the attention of the outside world-and for good reason.

Its mountains are big enough to offer serious free riding potential, its parks are cut to precision, its pipes are well maintained, its trees are perfectly spread out and-most importantly - from November to April it snows like nowhere else in the world.

It means there is something here for everyone. Most resorts are built to entice even the most timid of riders, with great beginner runs and well -marked trails. But for good riders the off-piste runs are easily some of the best on the planet.

When you factor in the long opening hours of most resorts (night skiing till 9pm) the clean, efficient and friendly nature of the Japanese people and the sheer cultural diversity, it's a wonder why Japan isn't the world's number one destination."
