**RESTAURANTS**

We have put together our list of restaurant recommendations ranging from super casual to fine dining. Some are walking distances from Echoland, some do pick up, and others would require you to drive. Please don’t depend on taxis as it is highly unlikely anyone can book one. That’s one reason we do recommend hiring a car!

Please note White Fox Co. policy on restaurant reservations. We are happy to make them if you are a guesting staying at a White Fox Co property. Cancellations or changes must be more than 48 hours before the reservation begins. Any no-shows or cancellations within 48 hours or turning up late will be assessed a 3000 yen/person fee. Some restaurants may have cancellation fees higher than this. This will be collected by Hakuba White Fox Co via the registered card on file and paid to the restaurant. This policy is to maintain our good standing with the restaurants and protect our ability to make future reservations for all of our guests.

Nearly all of these restaurants are bookable on www.tablecheck.com as we get closer to the season.
