“Perfect hotel for a skiing holiday.”
Lovely hotel right next to one of the lifts. Daisuke was super helpful. He picked up from the train station & dropped us back when we left. The hotel lobby has plenty of comfortable sofas with an amazing foot & calf massager which was invaluable at the end of a day’s skiing. Discount vouchers for lift passes are provided. The rooms are small like most Japanese hotels but the beds were very comfortable. There’s a ski storage & drying room in the basement along with the onsen & laundry. Breakfast was varied & plentiful - cereal, eggs, bacon, bread, fruit + more traditional Japanese fare. It’s not a 5 star hotel but it’s perfect for a skiing holiday.

Daisuke and his family are exceptional hosts. The hotel is old - but has everything you need in such a convenient location. Rooms are spacious and most offer views (I've stayed here a few times)

The lady boss and her sons are super helpful and friendly. The rooms are warm and comfortable for our needs. The Kumado lifts are just behind the hotel and less than 3 mins walk, making it very convenient for our snowboard trip.

Loved the fact that this was a traditional, Japanese family run hotel. It felt cozy and was very quiet during both the day and night. Very convenient location write next to Akakura Onsen ski lift, and only 15-30 minute drive to other surrounding ski mountains which gave us heaps of flexibility!
