"If you are after reasonably priced accommodation, in the centre of the village restaurants and night life and close to a variety of well stocked powder mountains, I would totally recommend Monkey Rider. The crew were awesome last season and we will definitely be back sometime in the near future. Cheers!"
- Richard P, Ireland.

"I've been lucky enough to ski in several high end international resorts. Monkey Rider was a stand out as its smack bang in the middle of 3 amazing well priced massive powder spots and the lodge is perfectly positioned only a stones throw away from fantastic traditional restaurants and night clubs.  I highly rate the place and for the price, its a bargain."
- Ben V, Sydney Australia

"My mates and I stayed at Monkey Rider in Feb 07 and I've got to say we've never had such an awesome time on a snow holiday. We've ridden all over the world but the powder in Japan is as good as we've seen anywhere."
- Jesse - Victoria, Australia

"The crew at Monkey Rider made our time in Hakuba unforgettable. They know all the local haunts and where to go to get the best lines on a powder day. We'll be going back next year to take back the fusbol title - see you in Jan 08 guys."
- Alex - Sydney, Australia

Shots taken by Bianca whilst over during New Years. Thanks for the shots and the beers. Everyone had a cracker of a night, including Will who finally got a smile on his face when he turned the tunes off at 2:30 am. Sam
