Akakura Kanko Hotel

Parking: 50

Magical

Reviewed By hayabusa7

Exceptional, majestic, magnificent...all words I would use to attempt to describe Akakan. But mere superlatives are insufficient. This is the best hotel in which we have stayed. With history dating back to the 1930s, the main building has been kept meticulously over the years as to somehow evoke that romantic past, but also not to feel dated or aged. The newer Premium/Spa and Suite wings are worthy, luxurious additions that adds lots of options. Rooms: We tried two rooms: Deluxe twin with bathtub and Premium (P3) with private outdoor onsen, each for three nights. The hotel is not cheap...this combination ran a little more than JPY400k total for two people, mid-January, breakfast but no dinner (would love to know how others have booked at 50k/night with half board!). But even at these rates you are getting your yen’s worth. The deluxe twin, located in the main building just off the reception area, was a great room, spacious and luxuriously refurbished, and with a direct view of the slopes. The bathtub enjoys its own small room and even a separate air-conditioning system. That said, I’d probably recommend either saving a bit with a slightly lower category room, or going up to the private onsen room (located in the more modern Spa and Suite wing). This is because the public open air onsen in the hotel is among the best I’ve ever seen across a wide variety of Honshu and Hokkaido resorts and Ryokan, and the only way you’ll probably want to skip it is if you’ve got one of your own. Hopefully the pictures speak for themselves but that room is even larger (and these rooms are huge in terms relative to other Japanese ski resorts), and just of the highest quality all around. Loved the electronic fireplace, heated bathroom floors, convenient shower cubicle, and, of course, the generously sized, temperature-adjustable onsen. Skiing: Akakura Kanko boasts a fantastic location right in the middle of its synonymous ski area, allowing you to hop on the freshly groomed slopes before anyone else in the area. First lifts ran around 8.30, so you can take a lovely, untracked run down from the locker area around 8.20 and expect no to minimal queue. Lift tickets for the Akakan side run a reasonable JPY3,000/day if you buy at the hotel, and 5,800 if you include the connecting Akakura Onsen side, which in our experience was less crowded and a good shout for at least a couple of days. Restaurants: Can’t go wrong with either the buffet breakfast or the slightly more formal, table service option in the Premium wing at Aqua, which is a nice change of pace for more relaxed days. Since we were not on half board, we only ate dinner twice at the hotel, once at French and the other at Aqua. Course meals run somewhere close to 10k per person. Quantity isn’t huge but quality is high, and the meat (beef, venison, lamb) entrees were particularly nice. The bar near Aqua is beautiful, offers thoughtfully-crafted cocktails with a nice happy hour, and in our experience wasn’t crowded. Still, you might want to venture out to Akakura Onsen town using the shuttle (~10 minutes, last one leaves at 6 or 6.15) some nights, though you’ve got to sort out your own return (and taxis were not readily available in our experience...recommend booking ahead!). If you’ve got a car you can park right outside the hotel, which gives you a ton of optionality. On the whole, Akakan is the top option in Myoko, and surely one of the best in Japan. And even though Akakura onsen town appears to be taking on a bit more of a foreigner-oriented feeling these days (verging on Niseko et al...), Akakan retains its own entirely unique aura.

Lime Resort Myoko

Wow! What a hidden treasure!

Reviewed By JVSukkarieh

We were initially unsure of how the stay would go as we are a family and opted for a room with no bathroom. The kids are not keen on Onsen use but we thought we would take the risk. Also not being in the mainstream locations meant less options for food. We opted for two family rooms (can accomodate up to 5 people in each) and we are a family of 6, so 3 in each. So many positives - I’m not sure where to start! The rooms were very large and spacious the beds firm and comfortable too. We had a toilet in our room and tea and coffee making facilities plus a local charger for phones etc. the room was extremely comfortable and clean! The food - amazing! Very surprised with the selection and quality of both breakfast and dinner. We had both included in our room fees and I think this is the best way to travel here if you have children. Going to find somewhere out at night is not the easiest of tasks and options are limited within walking distance. The hotel was very large and spacious, has a coffee shop in the lobby, ping pong and games in the lobby also. The gym was spacious and has a sauna stretching room. The onsen is very clean and relaxing - I was in the bath every night! Also for the kids they have seperate private showers on level 2, so they were all happy! The hotel provides shampoo, conditioner and facial creams and cleansers in the onsen and showers. They also provide Lime resort wear for use inside the hotel! One of the other conveniences is the free local shuttle - it is as good as ski in ski out for Ikenotaira - you hop in at the lobby and it drops you at the chairlift about 5 mins later! So easy! Also it can take you to the convenience store a few mins away. Lime also offers discounted ski tickets for the ski field which you need to organise before leaving. The only downside is the hallway is a bit noisy, so I would request a room as far away from the elevators as possible if you are sensitive to noise. Also the coffee shop in the lobby was a bit intermittent with being open which made it tricky if we were relying on it for lunch. The two English speaking staff Ash and Ed were extremely helpful and Ash emailed us back and forth before we arrived to help us understand the hotel and organise our pick up. They made it so easy to liaise with our needs.

Convenient location and lovely hosts

Reviewed By leakaf

Daisuke and the team are lovely, and very thoughtful. I had to do an online exam on the day we were due to checkout. They let me stay in the room late at no charge and ensured I was not interrupted. Felt like they really cared. The location was also great - right next to Onsen main lift and also able to ski in from Kanko lift. Breakfast was yummy with both Japanese and English parts. Room was simple but comfortable and warm - all you need when skiing all day! Would stay there again for sure - good value.

During summer the Hotel APA puts on one of the largest light displays in the world, making it into the Guinness book of records for the most about of lights in a display. This is just stunning and impressive. There are food stalls there and places to get some drinks, so it is a great night out. We loved it.

Good quality accommodation in Myoko Kogen

Reviewed By ChubbsAB

We stayed at the Akakura hotel an Annex for a week. The staff were very good to us and helped us in any way they could. The breakfast were generous and catered for Western and Japanese tastes. Really good access to ski lifts at Akakura Onsen ski resort.While the motel itself is a little dated it has a charm along with Myoko Kogan that is irresistible. I will definitely be going back and look forward to seeing the crew at the Akakura Hotel and Annex again. A special that’s to Nigel for him s hard work and advice.

Older style guesthouse accommodation full of charm with plenty of comfort, lovely staff, great onsen, good set breakfast but will tailor to your needs if you let them know. Little bit of a walk to Kanko ski area but fine if not wearing ski boots. Free shuttle bus is only 150m or so away.
