Just 500 metres or an easy eight-minute walk from Hakuba Iwatake, this character-rich lodge combines memorable guest accommodation with a private owner’s residence.

Iwatake Snow Sanctuary Lodge offers an atmospheric alpine retreat in one of Hakuba’s most tightly held locations.

Guest accommodation comprises six comfortable guest and loft rooms supported by four bathrooms. A separate, self-contained two-bedroom owner’s residence includes its own bathroom and private kitchen, allowing an owner or operator to live on-site without compromising guest privacy.

At the heart of the lodge is a dramatic double-height lounge framed by exposed timber beams, warm wooden floors and a wood-burning stove. Japanese artwork and handcrafted details give the interiors a distinctive personality, while the large commercial-style kitchen and communal bar area support group stays and lodge operations.

Only 500 metres from Hakuba Iwatake Mountain Resort, the property presents a compelling opportunity for a live-in operator, hospitality investor or buyer seeking a private mountain retreat with genuine character and four-season appeal.
