Akakura Park Hotel guest reviews

Mid January 2024

We had a great trip, thanks.

Akakura Park Hotel was in a convenient location, friendly, helpful staff , clean comfortable rooms and great breakfast options. It was our third visit to Myoko region, there's plenty of variety on offer with several other resorts close by Akakura is a great village to base yourself.

We always use Hisae to book our snow trips, she is reliable, helpful and offers great suggestions based on your requirements as well as getting there and around the area

I highly recommend Japan Snow accommodation and the Myoko region.

Akakura Hotel Central guest reviews

Akakura Hotel Central

27th January 2023

The trip was great and we had nearly 3 metres of snow in 2 weeks!! Once again you did a great job with the accommodation, no hassles.

The Central Hotel was what we expected, it was very dated & in need of a good makeover. The heating system in the hotel was non existent the rooms had an old reverse cycle air con unit.

The position of the hotel was great, near lifts & village.

The staff at the hotel were excellent, the rooms comfortable but basic, good breakfast with plenty of choice.

The hotel was good value for what we paid.

The accommodation overall was great for the following reasons:

• My Japanese style room was large for one person. The floor mattresses are firm but I slept ok. The hot water didn't work in the rooms whilst I was there but this wasn't a problem for me as I didn't have a shower, only a hand basin.

• They have two male and female onsens which were great.

• Breakfast was within expectations.

• The place was full of older Australians that get senior lift pass tickets. I think they get a lot of repeat bookings from these people.

• The location is good with ski in and out from across the road of the hotels front door. It is a short walk to the main street for restaurants.

• I would stay here again as opposed to the Myoko Ski Lodge.

It was great to get a more traditional experience at Oyado Furuya. Having our own private onsen to unwind in at the end of a day was superb. The male and female roof top onsen was incredible! It was lovely to sit in amongst the snowflakes!

The food at Oyado was a real highlight. We had both Japanese and Western style breakfasts and they were plentiful and fuelled us for a big day on the slopes. The Kaiseki dinner which showcased some of Myoko’s fine produce and it was certainly a most memorable part of our trip.

The hotel and it’s amenities were of a very high standard and for that reason I would certainly return to Oyado.

The skiing area however wasn’t as challenging and varied as we hoped so will look at alternative locations for our next trip either Shiga Kogen or Hakuba.

Thanks again for all your assistance!

Hotel Moc guest reviews

Late Feb 2017

What a great trip. Fantastic snow. All 3 places we stayed at are amazing. Your organizational skills are to be applauded. Hotel Moc at Kanko is perfectly located to Gondola (refer attached photo) and we did not mind the walk up into town. Suginohara is an amazing place to ski. Chuo Taxis are the way to go – amazing service – on time – every time.Cannot wait to book again for next year. Keep up the great work.

Akakura Hotel & Annex guest reviews

10 February, 2025

We really enjoyed my stay at Akakura. Staff were friendly and helpful, room was clean, men’s outdoor Onsen a highlight. Communication with some of the older staff a little difficult in English, but a minor point.

Also very happy with your service Hisae - fast, efficient, effective.

Thanks,
Jeremy

The hotel - not so great to be honest. It was very old and the decor extremely dated. The other issue for me personally, all these low doorways. I bumped my head a few times on the doorframe to our bedroom and heading towards the dining area. It was warm and clean - so cannot fault that. It's just not a hotel type we are used to. It was nice and close to the snow and conveniently located, so we cannot fault that. Myoko was awesome and I wish we could've spent more time there.

Have you been to this hotel yourself? I am happy to send you some photos.

Thank you very much for your email and feedback.

I have inspected Akakura Hotel. I agree with you. It is dated. Myoko doesn’t have many nicely renovated accommodation. If you are considering to go back again, I would suggest to stay at Oyado Furuya which is one of the best accommodation. This one fills up very quickly so you need to book early.

Thanks again for booking with us. Look forward to assisting your trip to Japan in the future!

Kind regards,

Thanks for the reminder. I have been meaning to thank you for organising our accommodation in Japan. The Akakura Hotel was wonderful. The rooms were great with the bedroom plus living room made it perfect for a family trip – we had two little ones 2 and 4 years old. Great staff and perfectly located just 200m from the lifts and right near the centre of all the restaurants. Could not have asked for more. Thank you!

Thank you for organising our Japan snow trip for us.

The Akakura Hotel Annex. This was an interesting hotel. The ceiling was very low as was the doors. I am only 6ft tall and had to duck all the time for fear of hitting my head. The Akakura hotel itself looked great although we didn’t see inside any rooms, but the annex section was a different storey. The room was a good size but the bathroom was so tiny we had to rest our knees on the wall when going to the toilet to fit in. Perhaps the worst bit was the boiler kicked in at 6am and 9pm to warm the hotel and it was so noisy that nothing could sleep through it. The beds were much better, but the service was no way near as good. The reception at the annex was not available a lot of the time, and so a long walk down an alleyway to the Akakura Hotel was needed on many occasion for assistance. The onset at the Akakura hotel was one of the best I have been it, but the the annex indoor onsens was so hot I could not even get in it. The location was very good however. I would recommend the Akakura hotel, but definitely not the Akakura Hotel Annex.

I will contact you mid year about next years snow trip.

Kind regards

Akakura Hotel & Annex (Myoko) The trip was great - although snow a lot less in the backcountry! Hotel was great for the family stay and service was great.
