Ski Hotels in Shimotakai District from AU$136

This was easily our favourite place we stayed on our Japan trip - the hotel is a traditional Tatami mat style hotel where you sleep on mats and the flooring is reeds. It's in the centre of the Shibu village and all 9 of the public hot spring baths are within walking distance. There is a photo in their reception of the family that started the hotel and the great grandson of the founder and his mother still work there today. They have a bus that drove us around, the picked and dropped us off at...

The staff are so lovely here and very helpful with recommendations of things to do in the area and places to eat.

What a delightful place to stay! Cannot praise the staff enough! They were all so helpful, friendly and accomodating. Some English speaking staff, who were honestly the best we met in our two week stay in Japan. We were told that they don’t get many English-speaking visitors and we were the only ones there, which my teen son and I loved. We love immersing in the Japanese experience when visiting, and this hotel definitely offered this. The rooms were simple but clean and tidy and well...

This is a really special place to stay. The rooms are not huge but plenty big enough for our family. The hotel is run by o lovely couple who take great pride in giving guests a wonderful stay. We were greeted with a lot of warmth and we felt very welcome almost like visiting a family member. The food is fantastic. We had breakfast on the first day and there was plenty of fresh food to get us going for a days skiing. We decided we would book in for dinner that night. The food was...

Our stay here in March 2025 was wonderful. The staff could not have been more friendly or helpful, even picked us up from the station without prior arrangement! The food was incredible, traditional Japanese breakfast that set us up for the day and a delicious dinner which when combined with the sake and very comfortable futons ensured a great night’s sleep. Took advantage of the private Onsen which was very relaxing. However with so many public Onsen (including at the hotel) it was a bit of an...

The Address Akakura is THE ADDRESS you want to stay at when visiting Myoko. The hotel itself is located in the centre of where all the action is, you're surrounded by some of the best restaurants in Akakura, so many hidden gems. The Akakura Onsen ski resort is basically across the road, you could throw a rock & hit it nearly. Next door is Myoko Snowsports for all your ski hire & Uchida Ski Sports is across the road who will do overnight board waxing as well as any other servicing needs. The...

The whole stay was a great experience. The staff were amazingly helpful. We needed to be picked up from the station and they came. I needed a PowerPoint adapter abd tgey were able to loan me one. We needed to get back to the station earlier than their set time abd tgey accommodated us. Well done guys, it was great.

Absolutely loved our stay here! The buffet breakfast and dinner included were great and provided a vast range of Japanese, Western and Italian options. The staff went above and beyond to welcome us and our ten month old baby. The rooms were well maintained and spacious for Japan. Gorgeous location, but remember that it is quite a distance away (at least 20 mins by car if not further) from restaurants (for dinner, there are a few lunch options closer)/convenience stores, etc.

This was such a beautiful little getaway for a few days relaxing in a traditional Japanese style accomodation with onset! The staff were incredibly lovely and accommodating, especially for my partner who has a lot of food allergies (so they quickly replanned all the amazing food courses for him!). Such a great start to our trip to Japan.

Magical. Worth every penny.

Family of 5, booked 2 rooms with ensuites. Everything was great from the amenities to the food and helpful staff. The Ryokan is around a 300-500m walk from the ski lifts however they offer a shuttle service every morning. You can also reserve the shuttle at other times to head out to restaurants etc.

Great location, a 15 minute walk to the top of the main street. Pick up and drop offs from the station or ski resorts. Great food and helpful staff. A great place to stay.

Our family of 5 had an enjoyable stay in a large Japanese style room. Great location for the ropeway and gear hire available too so very convenient. Nice to have the communal kitchen and dining areas as we got to meet some other guests. The ping pong table got a lot of use too. They lend toboggans for free, which is heaps of fun for the kids and the owners kindly didn't charge us when we accidentally broke one! (Even though we offered). Traditional onsen is worth a visit and in walking...
