The Address Akakura

The room is spacious, clean and comfortable. There is a public bath area (onsen) and a large room for equipment-storage in the basement. The location of the hotel is excellent, within 3 min's walk to ski-rental, restaurants, convenient stores, and the Akakura Onsen ski lift. The manager John is very friendly and helpful. Transportation to and from the Myoko Kogen station is included.

This hotel came highly recommended and did not disappoint. From the initial booking onwards, John was superb. Pick up from the station, adjusting the bed arrangements, free shuttle to neighboring slopes ... really thoughtful care of guests. There is an onsen in the basement which is a treat after a day skiing, plus a room to store ski equipment overnight, and washer/dryers for use. A small convenience store across the street so you can get supplies for snacks or making your own breakfast. A short walk to several eateries. Ski rental shop right next door, and 5 mins walk to the nearest lifts. Would absolutely return.

We had a fantastic stay here. The beds/doona/pillows are comfy as. the location is as good as it gets. close to the convenience store, restaurants, and most importantly ski hire and the ski lifts. John is a fantastic host. He runs a great operation. Drove us to and from the train station and took us adhoc to other ski resorts. I would definately return.
