Hotel Myosen

The staff were great; friendly, helpful, and very accommodating. Their local advice was also much appreciated. The location for us was ideal, right near restaurants, onsens, a thai massage place, a rental shop across the road, and within easy walking distance of the ski slopes. The bedding was very comfortable, with a thick mattress and futon that kept us warm and comfortable at night. The shared bathroom was clean, hot, and relaxing, with real onsen water, and the dry room facilities were well organised.

Nothing major to fault, though my Japanese wife mentioned it would have been nice to have a rice and miso soup option at breakfast on some days.

Location was central to Akakura and very easy to walk to everywhere. Only 5 min walk to Akakura Onsen Ski resort. Rooms were clean and comfortable.

Onsite onsen was not very clean and everytime we wanted to go was always booked for private use. We ended up going offsite and using a better onsen which was only 2min walk away so not an issue.

Excellent location, walk distance to ski lifts, shuttle bus and many restaurants and shops.Nice onsen. Our room was decorated in japanese style - comfortable.Ski /boots dry room well set up.

Impossible to tell who was a staff member or a guess. Dan & Ella in kitchen were the only one who seem to interact with guests.

The staff were next level helpful and the location is great! The facilities are a little dated, paint peeling, some doors didn’t shut well. Drying room didn’t dry the skin clothes much. But overall we had a great stay! Would stay again

Good position and clean

Breakfast was lacking.

Great stay! Location was perfect. The top of main street and a short walk down the hill. Friendly staff. The team organised to have my snowboard bag couriered to the airport for day of departure which was infinitely better than having to drag it through to Tokyo for a few days. Hotel is very close to all the great dining/drinking options and entry to the ski area is a short stroll up the street. I made good use of the onsen and was fortunate enough to have it all to myself on the daily. You're able to book 30min sessions as well. Slept incredibly well on the traditional Japanese bedding. Would absolutely stay here again!

Close to the slopes and the restaurants. Nice with in-house onsen.

Cold rooms and poor breakfast which wasn’t finished when opening in the morning. The staff was constantly behind in filling up for all the guest who had to wait in a ice cold room. We sat with outdoor clothes on.

Great comfortable king bed in perfect location to hit the slopes and anything in town, great onsen and really nice ensuite in room with friendly staff that go out of there way to help

Friendly staff, walking distance to everything you need including ski lift. Great breakfast!

Close to the main road.Had everything you needed.Staff very friendly Breakfast very yummy.

Location and cleanliness were great.

Overpriced Family room with ensuite.Very basic rooms with no fridge, minimal storage for clothing/luggage. Common areas not heated including Breakfast Dining Room. Breakfast is $15 per person and very ordinary - cold Porridge and Broccoli served with not enough stock of scrambled eggs, bacon, milk, juice..Laundry doesn’t include a dryer. Airers provided in rooms.No discounted lift ticket vouchers as stated on website.Room was serviced once during our 11 night stay and Nick advised we would be told what day this would occur. This did not happen.Had to request extra Shower Gel, toilet paper and tissues on multiple occasions. Host Nick is unprofessional and lacks customer service skills, doesn’t have a good knowledge of the village and its restaurants, facilities. Didn’t know where the Myoko Shuttle departure point was or that you can’t buy lift tickets from rental shops unless renting snow gear from them. Very new restaurant with traditional Japanese menu has just opened 3 days prior to our stay and he wasn’t aware of where/who this was.Was overheard complaining to his staff about a guest who hadn’t booked parking at the hotel.He was really only concerned with guests wearing their slippers inside and keeping the doors closed to stop cold draughts and house rules.I wouldn’t recommend this hotel for families.

This is an amazing hotel in such a great location! So close to the Main Street but just far away from it that you feel secluded and quiet! Facilities were very clean and the onsen was great!

The room was very spacious and had more than our anticipated amenities. The shower pressure was unlike any other we experienced in Myoko and the Onsen was LOVELY!

Great place to stay whilst you ski. Basic but comfortable. Breakfast was good and the staff were friendly. Good drying room for ski boots etc.

The light in the room was not a great colour and if we had 4 people in the room it would have been a bit tight.

Great location, facilities were clean and accessible, plenty of space for snow gear storage, room AC worked amazingly and the private onsen was a great touch.

A complementary shuttle bus would be very helpful for when arriving/departing at Myoko Kogen Station etc otherwise very happy with our stay. Only saying this as sometimes it can be difficult getting onto local transport.

Great location in Akakura Onsen, owner Nick always on hand to assist or give information, bus stop/snow shuttle and Main Street eateries all within 5 minutes walking distance, soak in the lovely natural geothermal onsen while watching the snow fall outside, great in room aircon and drying rack for drying clothes etc, super comfy foam ‘futons’ and real pillows ??

Rooms were as expected and more than fine. Location is pretty good.

Overall, there was nothing drastically wrong with the stay but it was just an average, mediocre experience due to the manager. The rooms were fine and as we booked. The facilities were fine as well although breakfast was terrible and a waste of money given the cafe's up the street. The main impact was a grumpy manager who seemed more interested in policing who was wearing slippers than caring about our overall experience. Not once did he enquire about our experience, what our day was like etc etc but I tell you what, we got pulled up for not wearing slippers!! I've stayed in far worse but I won't be back.

The hotel is in a super location, within 7 minutes walk to any of the Akura Onsen base lifts.There are few parking spaces in front of the main entrance for free for guests that must be reserved,The room was very nice, as well as the onsen.Very appreciated the possibility to reserve one of the 2 onsen rooms for half an hour between 8 and 9 in the evening.Breakfast was more than ok.

It is possible to reserve the car parking only with the booking of the room.It was not possible to reserve it at the check-in, even if there were still some spots availableLuckily there were not many people with their own car so we could use it anyway, but we could not find any sense to this policy.The website is not up to date: at our time of staying we could book some services and only find out later that have not been active anymore since several years.There is not a beer vending machine in the building anymore, even if it is in the pictures of the propertyThe smell of fried food was constantly on the staircase.The staff started to clean the rooms of checked out guests at 7 am

Nice onsen and good drying room

Room was very small for 4 of us sleeping on the floor.

Hotel was clean and warm. Beds were comfortable for futons as they provided an additional cushioned 'mattress'. The onsen was clean and warm, rather than hot, so it would suit most people. Nick was always friendly and helpful whenever i had any questions. There was no issue with organising bags to be onforwarded to our next destination (and they turned up before we expected). All in all Myosen is a well located and comfortable place to base yourself for a ski trip in Akakura. We stayed a week and really enjoyed ourselves

Unfortunately had the weirdest toilet i have encountered. It was at 45 degrees, rather than against a wall. This took out a big chunk of the available space and made it pretty awkward to use. Breakfast - some more variety would have been welcome, and besides rice there was no Japanese options. Understandable as almost everyone staying there was a westerner, however i have stayed in a number of places in Japan that have had lots of western guests but have still provided Japanese options for breakfast.
