“We are already coming back !”
Pete and Jen are exceptional hosts! Their property is beautifully maintained and provided a perfect winter retreat for my family. We especially loved the private onsen—it was such a unique and relaxing experience. Breakfasts were delightful, with Jen's homemade sourdough bread being a standout highlight. If you're lucky, you might get to enjoy it too! I can't recommend this place highly enough. It's also a few minutes walk to the snow. A great place with a great vibe.

“An Amazing Snow Holiday at Refre Hotel!”
What an incredible trip! The team at Refre Hotel were absolutely amazing—so kind, welcoming, and always ready to help. Jen and Pete were fantastic, organizing dinner and transport, and always so welcoming! Mitch, Seamus, Loz, and Tatty were great with our son, always offering to help with anything we needed. They also gave us great snow tips, which helped my partner a lot on the slopes, and were always there for the guests! The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and perfect for relaxing after a big day in the snow. The large bar and lounge area was one of my favorite spots to hang out—it felt so nice and refreshing playing board games and watching the snow. The dining area is also lovely, with a great view. And the onsen? It was the highlight of our trip—so peaceful and rejuvenating. The location was spot-on, with an easy walk to town, daycare, and the snow hill. Everything about our stay was perfect, and we’ll definitely be back again. Highly recommend Refre Hotel for anyone looking for a warm, relaxing, and memorable snow holiday!

“So much snow, too little time, too much sun....hopefully colder next time!”
Jenn, Pete and family were exceptional hosts during my time staying in Akakura Onsen with them. They were extraordinarily helpful, accommodating and willing to go the extra mile to ensure that everyon had a great time. Jenn was excellent at organising the booking and managing the communication in advance pro actively as Japan changed the rules on entry, Pete was a great host and often was willling to share a beer at the end of the day after he had driven/picked me up from a neighbouring ski field. Briony, Jesse and Mim were great with the breakfast service and any questions or concerns anyone had, immediatly resolved. The onsen was fabulous and very clean, the location superb, their knowledge and connection to the local community really ade my stay special. I'll be back!

Comfortable, well taken care of by Pete and Jen. We were provided shuttles, recommendations around the area, and discounted ticket offers to ski resorts where available. They were friendly and checked in with us often to ensure we were enjoying our stay.
