พาร์ค ลอดจ์ เซกิเนะ

Overview: traditional Japanese hotel, tatami room, came with Japanese deserts and chopsticks and tea setup, also towels and yukatas were all clean. Tatami room where you need to make your own futon/bed. Pillows were also Japanese style, think full of small beads instead of feathers. So I advice to bring your own pillows. Free wifi Parking, small parking area, make sure to email the hotel manager Soichiro-San to coordinate parking spot the day prior if you are driving. Location, less than 10 minute drive from myokosuginohara, Akakura Kanko, Akakura onsen. Breakfast, the free breakfast was delicious. Japanese style. We stayed here for three nights and had three free breakfast served at 8am sharp. Toilets, all toilet facilities are updated and western style. Very clean, wife and I have stayed in many Japanese hotel and budget accommodation, this place had the best toilet rooms. Trust me this is important. English language, Soichiro-San has good English, just be patient everything will be okay. The staff, not so much so good luck. But the lady who serves breakfast and dinner was always nice. Talked to us in Japanese most of it we didn't understand. Remember "Wakarimasen Gomene " "I don't understand, I'm sorry." Free shuttle to any of the mt myoko ski areas. The ski areas open at 8am, breakfast is served at 8am. You see, you will miss some early bird ski time but for us the whole day of snowboarding was enough. The entire hotel is non-smoking.
