Services at Packers

Check-in is at 16:00. The Phat Packers offers ski/luggage storage. The staff can assist with booking ski/board lessons and rental equipment. Staff reserve the right to refuse the service of alcoholic beverages. The extremely unlikely event of a price increase will be as the result of changes in costs of supplying your accommodation resulting from currency fluctuations and/or government action.

β€œWhat this property understands is hospitality. Right by the Tsugaike ski lift, it means first tracks are a reality. Beyond location, though, the staff crafts a relaxed atmosphere that makes a ski trip truly memorable.”
