The hotel is in a fantastic location, very close to the slopes, making it extremely convenient for skiing. It’s also just a short walk to the main street, where all the restaurants and bars are located. Additionally, it’s very easy to reach from the train station, and I really appreciated the owner’s support with transportation arrangements. This was a family trip for us, and they were incredibly accommodating of the fact that we had a little kid. The warmth with which they welcomed us and the baby was truly exceptional—something we haven’t experienced elsewhere. I really, really appreciated the support and care they provided from this perspective, which made our stay even more special. A wonderful place for a family getaway!

We had a wonderful stay here. We could walk out onto Akankura Onsen ski mountain and everything was very close within walking distance. We did not have a car so we did a short walk or took the town shuttle bus. The onsen at the property was amazing after a day of snowboarding. The room was very big and spacious traditional Japanese style room. It is a family run hotel Daiske San and his family were very nice and accomodating. We would definately recommend staying here and would stay here again.

There was nothing we didnt like.

The hotel may not be a new building, but it is very cozy and welcoming. For skiing & snowboarding, there is a dedicated dry room and a storage room for equipment, conveniently located right next to the hot spring bath, which is the perfect setup for relieving fatigue after snow. Both breakfast and dinner are excellent, with high-quality food. The hotel seems to be family-run, and all the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, providing me with a very comfortable stay.

Location to the ski lift was perfect - literally ski on and ski out. Our room had private shower and loo which was great and the view was superb. The size of the room for the 3 of us was good - had a separate seating area. The staff were amazing and so helpful - nothing was too much trouble.

Needs a little work done on it to freshen it up and would have liked more western options for breakfast. We couldn’t get any wifi in our room.

The whole stay was amazing! Daisuke, the owner, picked us up from Myoko-kogen station and took us back when we left. The hotel is small and family-run with very friendly staff. The room was nice and comfortable. The buffet breakfast has many options, mainly Japanese but you can find Western options as well. Being a vegetarian I found multiple options to choose from. There's also an Onsen on the lower level where you can warm up after a cold day on the slopes. The best part is how close it is to Akakura-Onsen's chairlift and just a block from the town's centre which has a lovely old Japanese style. We would definitely choose Akakura Wakui if we come back.

The host Daisuke and his wife Mari have done their best to make us feel like we are home. The room was clean and had everything we need. The onsen was not crowded and was comfortable. We were provided with discount vouchers for the nearby ski lifts. Daisuke was kind enough to welcome us at the Myoko train station and bring us to our next hotel location. The hotel is located right next to the Akakura Onsen ski resort. The Akakura Kankan is about 5 min away and but there is a free shuttle bus and the closest bus stop is in less than 10 walk, which is quite convenient for us to to get to the other resorts. Overall, our stay was comfortable and we would love to come back here.

Food (dinner and breakfast) was fantastic genuine Japanese fare. Location right next to ski lift also excellent, as was having Onsen for relaxation post skiing. Daisuke and Mari very helpful.

The decor is a little dated and in some spots shabby but it was still very comfortable and the service etc made up for it.

Unbeatable hospitality. Daisuke and his family are wonderful. They helped us make meal and transportation reservations, among other above and beyond things. I've stayed around Akakura Onsen over many years, and I'm certain THIS is where I will stay going forward. The room we had was huge. We had 3, but could've easily fit another. The Onsen is crazy hot! Loved it.

No complaints at all.

Conveniently located with just a two-minute walk to the Akakura Onsen Kumado lift. Perfect! The breakfast was Japanese-style and delicious. Great value and kind staff!

We loved staying at this hotel, it far exceeded our expectations. The family running it were so friendly, helpful and fun. The photos don't do the mountain-view room and breakfast room justice as the view was lovely. The onsen was great. Good value for money.
