Also not a fancy hotel, we have made our third family trip back to La Montaigne as it is simply a great great value for money. Yesterday we looked at five other similarly rated hotels and Pensions in Hakuba and nothing could beat La Montagne. The Japanese rooms are basic but bright and clean. The onsen in the basement is a godsend after a hard day on the slopes and the kids especially really appreciate this as part of our skiing routine. We also like that the hotel caters to mostly Japanese skiers.
