Akakura Onsen is a small town and everything is fairly close by but thanks to the hotel we enjoyed discounts to renting the ski equipment at the shop nearby. We also enjoyed private use of the onsen for half hour each day and the English-speaking hotel stuff was super friendly and helpful.

Good Location, No attached bathroom and shower has to be done in public onsen, Shower facilities has no partitions/individual cubicles. Travellers who are comfortable with that please take note. No lifts

Rude staff. Cleanliness was disgraceful. Rubbish laying around everywhere for the whole stay. Never going back to Myoko because of this hotel.

Nice big rooms and only a short walk to the ski lifts, restaurants and bars. It was cool to experience the traditional onsens - felt amazing after a day on the slopes. We loved the option of being able to book a private onsen. Our taxi was running late to take us to the train station - Susan was very accommodating and personally drove us there!

Excellent location in the centre of the village and just a few minutes stroll to the chair lifts. Nick and Susan are amazing hosts who will make you feel welcome and help to make your stay enjoyable. The buffet breakfast is hearty and plentiful and wifi keeps the modern world close to hand, ideal if you have children. The accomodation is basic without the cosiness of a warm lounge, so prepare to rug up, but more than compensated by the Onsen which can be privately booked. Overall, ideal for snow fiends who just need a bed to recover between heavy powder days.
