Questions
Is this a real house?
No. Hakuba Mihon-sō is a sample house that shows how a minshuku appears on Minpaku X. 見本 means "sample".
Where do I book?
On Minpaku X, like every house: the stay is with the house; Minpaku X handles the booking and payment.
How do I get there from Tokyo?
The Hokuriku Shinkansen to Nagano takes about 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes, then an express bus to Hakuba about 70 minutes (both to verify).
Is there a town's tax?
This is a sample house. A real house in Hakuba shows its town's tax, if one is in force, as its own line in the total. 見本·SAMPLE
Do I pay anything when I arrive?
No. The price you see is the whole price, and nothing is paid at the door.
Does it have a house seal?
Yes, a sample one. A real house's seal is drawn with its host. 見本·SAMPLE
Why a minshuku in Hakuba?
In 1937, in Hosono (now Hakuba), sixteen mountain guides' houses were permitted to lodge climbers. It is counted as the start of the minshuku (Japan Tourism Agency).
