Hey everyone! We're feeling very optimistic about the coming snow season... and clearly, so are very many people because we have certain dates in the season that are already booked up! 😲😲😲
This is pretty unbelievable considering that the Japan borders aren't open for tourists yet... but we're so stoked to see the interest rolling in!

We wanted to share this info with our friends, family, past guests and general fans to make sure that you don't miss out! If you're thinking of coming to stay at Hakuba Matata next season please contact us asap and book it in. Don't wait for the borders to open (and we're pretty sure they will!). We're not going to take any payments until the borders do open, so there's no risk in securing your dates now. And don't forget the friends & family 10% discount!

The thought of having all you beautiful people back in Hakuba fills us with joy, so please, make our day and book in!!! We honestly can't wait to share our winter wonderland with you again!!!

Cheers!!! Teri and Braydon ⛷🏂🛷🍻🥂
