The best by far! I was extremely elated at the professionalism of a staff who dealt with my ski boots (my bad, wasn't able to catch his name but I extended my compliments for him to the management when I returned the gears) He was shy but so focused on the fitness of the boots. For him, boots are one of the basics to enjoy skiing. Very patient and down-to-earth staff indeed. True enough, I never had any discomfort on my toes/ legs or whatsoever after a day of skiing. Most of the rental shops I've tried would just hand you over the gears and not even try to ask about the comfort of their customers. Overall, this shop offered great service and friendliness big time no matter how busy they were. Absolutely great!

I have been using Rhythm for a fast and easy ski rental service the last three years. They have a wide selection of skis, snowboards and boots for all levels. Located a few minutes walk from the Happo slopes, they as well provide a free drop off service to your hotel. You will also be able to buy any item (gloves, googles, etc) from high end brands (Oyuki, etc, Burton, etc).

Great location, great customer service. Fast turn around on time ups. Clothing is pricey, rental prices comparable to others on the mountain. Good selection, knowledgeable honest staff.

Great rental shop. I love my rental service there except a less experienced staff try to stick my children on old carvers when I order performance skis for powder skiing ....otherwise great ! Pickup n drop off on the house . Lots of ski clothing n accessories for sale. Very busy place; friendly staff

Great place for renting ski/snowboarding gear and accessories. Nice and friendly faces, very knowledgeable/helpful staff and the prices were shockingly low. When you’re renting or returning gear, a shuttle comes to pick you up from your hotel/resort (to get you outfitted) or to pick-up gear for return. First time we tried skiing and the process was so smooth/efficient. Highly recommended!

The great staff are great! The rest are clearly holiday workers with little idea of what’s going on. We were served quickly and efficiently though with a very friendly assistant. Shuttle pick up and drop off was very convenient and appreciated. They can also pick up your rentals from your accommodation once you’ve left. Don’t expect too much in terms of retail products. We couldn’t even get something as simple as ski socks. Rental gear is of good enough quality.

Highly recommend!! The team at Rhythm Japan Hakuba were awesome! The process was simple and seamless and they made it super easy and convenient with their pick up service. They have a great range of skis and the ability to swap (with the Premium Hire) is great plus they have a great coffee shop within. See you again next time guys.

I just had a horrible experience with a Japanese rental shop. Just out of curiosity, I decided to run the same question by the staff at rhythm. Rhythm passed with flying colors. It's unreal how much service they offer. I wasn't going to rent from them today, but I certainly will next time. Well done. Thank you Cheryl for your outstanding service, knowledge, and fast answers!
