Had a terrific relaxing couple nights. The best beds we've yet had to sleep on. Bedding was super comfortable as well. The included breakfast was great. Western style. Lake around the property is nice to walk, has several good food options. The 7-11 is an easy 10 min walk to get drinks and snacks. And the fellow at the resort gave us a quick lift to the train station for the next leg of our journey. Really enjoyed our stay.

Would stay again
This hotel is family run, with attentive and friendly host. The host invited my daughter to watch a Ghibli movie with their kids in the common area, and then served treats during the movie. The breakfast was excellent (variety of cereal, granola, bread, yogurt as well as hot breakfast made fresh with a salad). The beds were comfortable and one of our rooms had a toilet and bath/shower in the room. The other room used the shared toilets. There was a washer and dryer free and easy to use. The hotel is located within a short 5 min walk to Nojiriko Village docks, restaurants and shopping. The hotel is older, with some areas showing wear (e.g., tiles missing or taped to bathroom wall so they don’t fall off).

This property is one of the best Ski lodges stays I have been to in 20 years of travelling the world. The team of Christo and Co are all amazing humans that live to please the guests and make your stay an incredible experience. Every day you are cooked a hot breakfast by an amazing Chef Maggie then assisted with transport from the team to get to and from any mountain of your choice for the day of snow action. Each evening you have a choice of in hotel 3 or 5 course dinner or supported to find amazing restaurants around Myoko for your dining requests with delivery and pick up to eat out. Facilities in the hotel are great with a heated hot pool in both the men's and women's wet areas to assist in recovery after a big day of riding. Overall, this place in 5-star treatment at an affordable price in Japan. The team are legendary to deal with everything provided to make your snow holiday amazing. I couldn't recommend this place anymore and I will be going back next year with my family.

建物自体は古いがリノベーションされている為とても快適に過ごすことができました。部屋も広く和室にベッドスタイルでとてもいい雰囲気でした。近場にレストランが少ないことだけがネックに感じましたが、何軒かはあるので選択肢は少ないながら食事はできます。なお、移動に車はマストなので長野駅周辺で車をレンタルする事をオススメします。
