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!

Within just minutes on foot are almost all restaurants, bars and karaoke spots, both Akakura ski areas, and bus stops for the shuttle buses serving the entire Myoko area.
Myoko is in the Niigata prefecture and consits of Akakura, Seki Onsen, Suginohara & Ikenotaira. Other reosrts close by include Nozawa Onsen and Shiga Kogen. The main village is the Akakura area. You can travel by the mountain shuttle bus to go skiing and snowboarding in the other areas. We can arrange the Myoko Big 4 lift passes which are the common ski passes for these four resorts.
If it is possible to have one area that tickes all the boxes it is Myoko. Firsty, it has excellent snow, but also a varitey of runs to suit all levels. It is not a westernised like some Japanese resorts have become and still retains its Japanese culture, yet it still has enough English services such as English speaking lessons & day care and some western style accommodation options. It is not a big town, but there are plenty of resteraunts and bars to chose from.
It is about 90 minutes from Tokyo to Nagano station by Shinkansen bullet train and change to a local train which takes about 40 minutes to Myoko Kogen Station. We can arrange a pick up and drop off for Myoko Kogen station. But the easiest way to get there would be the direct airport transfers.
