Looking for a quiet, homely stay for your Japan ski holiday?
Little Grebe might be the perfect choice.
With only five guest rooms, this small and welcoming lodge offers a peaceful, private atmosphere — ideal for families, couples, solo travellers and anyone looking for a more personal stay at 8 Peaks Resort.
One of the most special things about Little Grebe is the owner.
He is a former member of Japan’s national ski team and also a Japanese SUP champion. His son is currently training at 8 Peaks and overseas with the dream of competing at the Olympics.
So when you stay here, you are not just staying at a hotel — you are staying with a family who truly lives and breathes sport, nature and mountain life.
The hospitality is warm, friendly and genuine. Guests can enjoy conversations with the owner, ask about the local area, and experience a more personal side of Japan.
Little Grebe also has a private onsen inside the lodge.
For international guests who want to try Japanese onsen culture but feel a little nervous about bathing in front of others, this is a wonderful option. Families and couples can enjoy the bath together in privacy.
Meals are usually served as a course dinner, but if you would love to try Japanese home-style cooking, please feel free to ask.
Stay at Little Grebe, enjoy a relaxing mountain base, and ski at Shirakaba 2in1 or Shirakaba Kogen Kokusai.
Quiet, personal, warm and full of local character.
