The Joint Hakuba is a special place with a rich history. Originally built in 1982 by a local from Hakuba for Mr. and Mrs. Y, it was known as Jamboree and had been cherished by many guests over the years. In September 2019, we had the privilege of acquiring this beloved building and its collection of heartwarming letters from past visitors. In the spirit of renewal, we embarked on a comprehensive renovation of Jamboree to transform it into The Joint Hakuba - a place where you can fully unwind and savor your holiday experience. Our goal was to create a haven for relaxation and fond memories in this picturesque mountain town. We can't wait to welcome you to The Joint Hakuba, so you too can create your own cherished memories in this beautiful building.
The 1998 Winter Olympics, officially the XVIII Olympic Winter Games (French: Les XVIIIes Jeux olympiques d'hiver)[1] (Japanese: 第十八回オリンピック冬季競技大会 Dai Jūhachi-kai Orinpikku Tōkikyōgi Taikai), and commonly known as Nagano 1998, was a winter multi-sport event celebrated from 7 to 22 February 1998 that was centered in Nagano, Japan. The Games also took place in the nearby mountain communities of Hakuba, Karuizawa, Nozawa Onsen, and Yamanouuchi.
The Greener family, originally from Sydney, moved to Hakuba in 2011 for what was meant to be a Family Gap year. However, they quickly fell in love with the place and decided to make it their permanent home. In 2013, they ventured into the accommodation business and founded Balls Deep Inn Hakuba. Meanwhile, the Salmons had long been dreaming of joining their friends in Hakuba. After months of searching for the perfect property, fate brought the Greeners and the Salmons together. They formed Green Salmon LLC and, after keeping their eyes on it for nine years, finally acquired Jamboree, a building with immense potential. To complete The Joint team, Jake came on board as the final piece of the puzzle, taking on the role of day-to-day lodge management. Together, this dedicated team of passionate individuals has turned their vision into reality, creating The Joint Hakuba - a place where guests can fully relax and enjoy their mountain holiday.
In 2019, we were thrilled to complete the renovations at The Joint Hakuba and eagerly welcomed our first guests. As a team, we had put our hearts and souls into transforming the historic building into a cozy retreat, preserving its unique character while adding modern amenities. With a deep passion for hospitality and a love for Hakuba, we were excited to share our labor of love with our guests. The anticipation was palpable as we looked forward to creating unforgettable memories for our guests and providing them with a memorable stay in this picturesque mountain town. The stage was set for a remarkable journey, and we were ready to welcome guests into the heart and soul of The Joint Hakuba.
