We stayed at the Red Fox Lodge in Myoko for three fabulous nights. It was very comfortable for our family of 4, with adjoining rooms. We loved the authentic Japanese feel of the lodge. Very warm and Brendon, the host, was very kind and friendly and helped us get around town and recommended some delicious traditional restaurants. The boys were lucky enough to get some end of season snow to play in and build a snow man and we were able to do some beautiful treks through the village and up to the waterfall.
It was very helpful to have an English speaking host, as he was able to tell us a lot about the history of the area and showed us rice paddies which are still operational after 600 years. There is a traditional Onsen a short 5 min walk around the corner which was well worth visiting too.
We loved Myoko during the spring time. It was a peaceful change of pace to the big cities and gave us a chance to relax and enjoy walking in nature and looking at the many cherry blossoms that we in bloom with comfortable temperatures each day between 18-23 degrees. Well worth a visit. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. Many thanks Brendon for your warm hospitality’s hospitality.

Stayed at Kofukan in March '24.
The room had a great view. The public onsen has an outdoor onsen, that was really nice after a
steaming hot onsen. They also have private onsen for booking on an hourly basis.
Our booking came with breakfast, they serve breakfast early enough for snowboarders to arrive in time for first lift. You can opt for Japanese or western style breakfast.
The front of house is also the driver to bring us to the resorts. Be sure to arrive on time, he will really leave on time during evening pick ups.
For the snowboarders/skiiers, they have a drying room in the basement for you to leave your gear overnight. They also have discounted lift passes with a few resorts, so do bring more cash with you cos they only take cash payment for these discounted tickets.
Guests enjoy the ultimate getaway at APA Hotel & Resort Joetsu Myoko, relaxing in a hot-springs bath outdoors or indoors.

This was my fourth time to visit the Joetsu Myoko Resort. I love how quiet and peaceful it usually is, and the amazing breakfast. However, this time I was quite dissapointed. It was summer holidays and so the hotel was very busy and noisy. I was told that the breakfast room had been refurbished - bigger and better. Breakfast was previously served in a room with amazing views of the golf course and the mountains - it was always peaceful and serene. Now, it is served in a much larger and louder room with no views of anything. The menu has also changed and did not have the same number of special dishes as it had before. The 'new and improved' breakfast was not an improvement in my opinion. The onsen was wonderful as always and the room was clean and comfy. I was also happily surprised when the desk staff spoke to me in English (first time in 4 visits and very much appreciated.) It is a long way to drive if you are not going there to play golf - I used to go for the amazing breakfast but will no longer be doing so.
Located right in front of Myoko-Kogen Suginohara Ski Resort, the quaint property Soratobu Usagi offers Japanese-style accommodations, free Wi-Fi in public areas and a shared lounge.

Some of the best service I've ever had from staff, such amazing people and so accommodating.
The food they prepared for me was incredible and authentic, they catered for my vegan diet and I was that impressed.
Super close to the main chair lifts walking distance for sure.

What an amazing experience staying at Tsubame Highland Lodge. The owner of the lodge might be the best Japanese person I’ve ever met - so lovely and helpful and friendly. The Onsen - a mix of cold and hot has also been my favourite of the trip. And the view of the trees and the snow from our room and lodge made it the most perfect cosy stay.

We went to Myoko for the snow and we got the snow!
We went to Myoko for the snow and we got the snow! Loved the long ski runs at Suginohara and skiied there 3 days. Also skied one day each at Ikenotaura Onsen and Seki Onsen. Low visibility killed us! Be prepared to ski in low cloud and less groomed tracks.
Lime Resort Onsen was fantastic.
Local restaurants (Chinese, Japanese and Greek) were great food and value for money.

Myoko Kogen is a great destination for a ski holiday, it is close to the train line, it offers a range of different ski locations within half an hour of the resort all accessible by bus or taxi. The ski lift tickets are very affordable. Myoko Kogen is a traditional Japanese Resort offering Onsens, traditional Japanese food, Ryokan accommodation as well as Western food and accommodation. The town is only 32 km from Nagano, where the Winter Olympics were held and it takes approx. 2 1/2 hours by train from Tokyo.

Akakura Onsen is a nice small village with plenty of restaurants and hotels. Some were closed due to the small amount of visitors, but as there was so much snow it was nice to have space everywhere. Good variety of foods, and a few bars. Make sure your lodge has transportation when the shuttle buses don't drive around the resorts (like this month, which made traveling around harder unless you have 4-wheel drive AND snow tires).

We loved the comfy beds and shared lounge, bar & dining area, the hot tub after being out in the snow all day and the freshly prepared breakfast and dinner. Fabulous vegan and vegetarian options and western friendly. Wonderful owners who made us feel so welcome from the start. Felt like a home stay and we could’ve stayed for longer! Great local recommendations and activities close by.
Thank you Chereyne & Brett - the super hosts! :)

On a scale out of 10 would rate Myoko about a 6.
On a scale out of 10 would rate Myoko about a 6. The mountain infrastructure is very old and tired which accounts for the low cost of lift tickets. The mountain lacks steepness.
Besides the many small restaurants it lacks a village atmosphere.
The mountain geography doesn't support advanced skiers.
It is not clearly sign posted for runs which also makes it difficult.
We found Japan much more expensive than what it was 5-6 years ago and would probably go back to Canada for more value.

Gorgeous quaint Japanese village with authentic restaurants,...
Gorgeous quaint Japanese village with authentic restaurants, amazing snow and ski resorts very close by. Very friendly locals, who go out of their way to help you, even with language barriers. Fantastic place to visit for snow sports, lift tickets are incredibly cheap compared to Australia - around $40-50 per day depending on discounts through accommodation, etc. Great place to visit!
Mieko and team are exceptionally friendly and so helpful in making your stay enjoyable. Service provided goes way above expectations from booking dinners to collecting our luggage from the local black cat depot to minimise any delays in getting on the snow. The service really is outstanding. Location is great with a short walk to lifts, restaurants and bus terminal for travelling to other snow resorts, the buffet breakfast is amazing…and those pancakes! Would definitely stay here again when next visiting Myoko.
Stayed in the hybrid Western/Japanese style room which is spacious and comfortable. décor is fairly basic but the hotel is clean and tidy. Our only criticism is the size of the bathroom. It is on the small size, even by Japanese standards.
Decent sized drying room.
Ski/snowboard hire shop on site.
Location is perfect, right opposite the Kanko gondola and a 5 minute walk in to the Akahura village. We have stayed here before and will happily stay again.
Papa was amazing! He provided transportation to and from the ski resorts (Suginohara and Akakura) was there on time each and every day and took me to town to pick up supplies and food. I felt like part of the family and and Mama is an absolutely amazing cook. There kindness and goodwill exemplifies true Japanese tradition and sincerity! Thank you for your beautiful Hearts Moma and Papa!
The team at Refre were fantastic. The hosts Jen and Pete were extremely helpful and knowledgeable of Myoko and the surrounding areas. The hotel facilities were very good and exceeded our expections. We were well fed with good quality food which kept us going on the slopes for a full day. I would happily stay at Refre again and will reccomend this place to family sand friends.
It is a wonderful experience to stay in this hotel. The people who work in this hotel are very kind. They always try their best to help you to not only stay in the hotel, but also help you to go to supermarket, ski park and railway stations. You can feel free to use hotel's kitchen and dining room. If you like the customized service, this hotel would be a best choice in Myoko.
Refre Hotel has a very cozy and welcoming atmosphere!! They served a delicious and healthy breakfasts and even served made to order omelets. We enjoyed the onsen, and were very close to the ski rental shop just a few minutes walk away. The room was spacious and the beds were very comfortable. The owners couldn’t have been more welcoming!!
The staff was great, very helpful. The breakfast was very good as well, and the coffee was amazing, real espresso. The room was very spacious and had a great view. It's one of the few hotels on the area that provide rooms with private bathroom and shower, and even comparing with hotels that dont provide that, the cost benefit is great.
Love the feeling of home it provides, didn’t want to leave at the end of our stay. Owners are fantastic at dropping you where you need to go within Myokokogen. Ski resorts within 5 mins drive, perfect for having a choice every couple
of days. Rooms are beautiful with great views of all the snow and surrounds, very cosy and warm.
It is one of the best ski resorts for beginner. The slope is a good challenge for newbies and the lift ticket is cheap and not crowded at all. I can get to snowboarding right in the back of the hotel. I would recommend it for families with elderly and kids. The dinner is included and it is very good and delicious.
Close to kumado lift. Close to the bus stop shuttle to akakura kanko and also the bus stop for free shuttle around town to yodel lift area. Very yummy dinner!!! Glad we booked for 2 night dinner. Has a small onsen which is good enough. Pick up from myoko kogen station. Very responsive via messages on booking app.
Location was fabulous, views were stunning. Easy hotel shuttle ride to/from Myokokogen station. Lovely free drinks at happy hour(s) every afternoon. Wonderful indoor and outdoor hot spring baths. I painted outdoors when it was sunny, and indoors when cold, snowy/rainy. JonBradham.com
Amazing vibe and fantastic people. Great food and social atmosphere for guests. Very quiet and laid back, perfect spot if you're looking to hit the slopes all day and get a good night's rest. Transfers to and from the hills are absolutely mint. Thanks Myoko team, I'll be back next year!
The location was perfect, right down the slopes, and the room was big enough for our size group (6).
The hotel also has a restaurant, and the owner was very kind preparing a Vegan option for me to dinner in.
Great mix of contemporary and traditional accommodation in the heart of the Myoko village. Breakfast, bar and onsen all wonderful. Incredibly clean and the friendliest of staff. Carlo is the perfect host.
Don’t be fooled by the old hotel , it’s more than comfortable the breakfast was nothing fancy but good . The staff were really nice , I think great value for money .
