Comparing this one vs the other Green Plaza at Joetsu Kokusai:
- Joetsu Kokusai is much easier to get to from Tokyo.
- Hakuba's GPH is rated 4.3 on Rakuten, Joetsu Kokusai 3.9. That's a significant difference in Hakuba's favor.
I didn't stay there but I went inside because I got a lift ticket special that included lunch. It definitely had that "things have gone down hill since 1989" feel that you often find in Japan. This was in 2012.
The hotel is enormous so you should get a good deal. Well, maybe not during Xmas.
