We have a bar (open ski season only) that rocks (guest comment) and a happy hour with 300 yen drinks from 5-6pm. You might want to watch some of the extreme snowboarding videos or perhaps have a game of billiards (free of course!). There are plenty other bars nearby that come alive deep in the night but in the early evening ours is the one be at.
The street scenery around the hostel is like something from another planet for a lot of people. Buildings with thick slabs of snow on their roofs, icicles hanging off the eaves that sometimes reach the ground and wherever you look a blanket of white. On a lazy day it is really fun to get on some warm clothes and walk around the Echoland district admiring the snow-scape and the building architechture.
