“Cosy and warm but expensive at peak time for basic accommodation far away from services.”
The couple that run the accommodation are very sweet, helpful and happy to drive us around. The heating was good and it was very warm and cosy.

“Warm, cozy, a little far.”
Quiet little corner near Alpenblick. The rooms were comfy and warm at nights. Large window/balcony that u can open for fresh air. No noise or rowdy drunks at night. Nice simple breakfast and the place have their private onsen. The old couple running the place are very friendly and accomodating. They drove us daily to the resorts because we didnt have a car. Papa is super friendly and helpful.

“Thank you for a lovely stay”
The hosts - a lovely Japanese couple - were very kind and helpful. There are limited facilities within walking distance (a small shop, 3 restaurants) but they are very happy to collect you from the station, run you to the ski areas, take you to a cash point etc so you don't need a car. The hotel has its own small onsen which is really lovely and a good intro to this aspect of Japanese culture.

“Papa Moomin's is the best!”
Papa's was wonderful! A unique and cozy place to stay in a lovely ski town. Papa was so friendly and helpful, driving us to and from the ski hill, and serving a delicious breakfast each morning!

“Wonderful and cosy!”
Cosy and sweet accomodation, good beds and rooms, very clean and comfortable. Very cultural Japanese stay with an Onsen exclusive to the guests. Papa Moomin was able to help us get to the ski resorts in the morning and back in the afternoon, and there were some delicious breakfast and dinners which could be ordered at the accomodation. Just a walk away from some lovely restaurants nearby as well. Ski resorts nearby are some of the most affordable I have ever seen and the Japow can be really excellent around Myoko. Highly recommend it was a wonderful stay with incredibly kind and wonderful owners!

“Incredibly kind hosts and a lovely guest house”
Papa was so lovely. It was a beautiful traditional guest house. I had breakfast too and it was lovely. I also really appreciated lifts too and from ski school and to the train station. It was honestly such a beautiful stay and I will be back. For any solo travellers, it was a very family vibe and I felt very welcome. Thank you Papa!

“Great stay - fantastic hosts”
The Japanese senior couple managing the pension are genuinely the sweetest people we could have dreamed of. Moomin Papa picked us up at the station at arrival and dropped us off (super early in the morning) after checkout. He drove us and the other guests in the morning to the ski resorts nearby and was also willing to pick us up in the afternoon. He was also great at giving dinner recommendations. The pension is simple and welcoming, breakfast is great and all we needed for a full day on the slopes. The onsen is a bit old but we didn’t mind. If you have very long hair it could take a while to dry with the available hairdryer - just to keep in mind. Rooms are nice and warm and the beds are comfortable. WiFi works well. Overall I would say it was a beautiful stay, the hosts and their care in everything they did made the experience 100 times better. Highly recommend!

“Great hospitality!”
Everything! What an incredible stay! Moomin Papa and Mama spared no effort in ensuring everything was absolutely perfect. Not only was there a convenient shuttle bus stopping right outside Pension Moomin Papa to transport guests to the ski resorts, but whenever the shuttle didn't reach our desired destination, Moomin Papa graciously drove us wherever we needed to be. The private onsen provided a rejuvenating experience after a full day of skiing. Additionally, a delicious Western-style breakfast was provided every morning for only 1000 yen, adding to the exceptional value of our stay

The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the location is a short drive to the ski fields. The rooms are comfortable and spacious, and the onsen is great and free to use. Would recommend and definitely stay again. Thank you.
