Around Ikeminodo Ski Resort × Highly rated for rooms and amenities at Hotel·Ryokan

This was my third visit this year. I enjoyed the Japanese cuisine on my previous stay, so I chose the kaiseki course again this time. When a seasoned male staff member served our meal, he said, “You visited in May last time, didn’t you?” I was truly touched that he took the time to check (and I’m sorry—I mistakenly said I came in June). The attentive service, breathtaking views, excellent hot spring water quality, spotless changing area, and beautiful interior—this Hotel is the best for me. I hope it will always remain a calm and relaxing place.

This is our third stay. The Room, the bath, and the entire Facility are always clean and very comfortable. We enjoy both dinner and breakfast—they are delicious. Every year, after visiting our family grave in our hometown, we stay here. This Accommodation makes our family feel, “Alright—let’s do our best so we can come back again next year.”

Black mineral bath after a long time This was my fifth visit. The black water is stronger at the day-use spa than at the Hotel, so I went there first—but has it been getting lighter year by year? The first time I bathed, there was sediment built up and it felt like soaking in mud. The smell was like a rotten ditch. I got hooked and came back many times, but… does it feel more diluted now? The smell was still incredibly strong, though. But that’s fine. Because I love it.

Thank you for your warm, home-style hospitality—it made for a wonderful stay at the end of the season. For our children, the best memories of this trip were the pension’s Room and meals. Even while skiing, they were looking forward to dinner each night. We have big appetites, so we were very satisfied with the food. We also appreciated that bath towels were provided. When we visit Myoko again, we would love to stay here.

For his birthday trip! We were looking for a stylish cottage with a kitchen, and he loves Onsen too! The kitchen had various utensils, including a rice cooker. They even sold small portions of rice (enough for two servings) at the front desk, so we enjoyed a Japanese-style breakfast the next morning. The Onsen was free-flowing and had that classic Onsen aroma! We ended up soaking in it three times! With a car, the supermarket wasn’t far either, making it all the more memorable. It would have been even better if there was a coffee maker, so I’d rate the room amenities 4 out of 5!

I stayed here after my visit to Akakura Kanko Hotel. The Onsen was wonderful. The meals were also very delicious. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for your hospitality, even on an off-season weekday.

I stayed for one night over the three-day weekend in February. Just as the Reviews said, the food was delicious and the Room was clean, so I’m glad I chose this Accommodation. The bathroom was about the size that would feel full with three people, but since this Facility doesn’t have many Rooms, we were able to use it privately by going at a different time. It took about a 20-minute walk from Akakura Onsen Ski Resort, but with snow piled up on both sides of the road making it narrow—and cars passing by from time to time—it may be better to contact the Accommodation in advance and request a pick-up (it’s best to reach out early rather than at the last minute, as they will likely be preparing dinner). They gave me Shuttle Service after check-out to the ski resort, and also from the ski resort to the station. Buses to the station don’t run very frequently, so I truly appreciated the Shuttle Service. This is an Accommodation I’d like to stay at again next year. Thank you.

Full of Showa-era charm, both dinner and breakfast are delicious. The onsen is a natural hot spring with free-flowing water, making this accommodation perfect. Family-run, we had an enjoyable stay.

I visited during a solo motorcycle trip. Since it was near a ski resort, it seemed off-season, so there were few guests, and I was able to relax and fully enjoy the Onsen. Although I chose a no-meal Plan, I received complimentary coffee and freshly baked croissants in the morning. The croissants were freshly baked and delicious. I would love to visit again if I have the chance.

The building is old, but the air conditioner and bidet toilet are almost brand new. The bath has a wonderful retro Showa-era vibe. Ideal for guests who mainly want to enjoy the Onsen. Without Niigata Prefecture’s Go To Travel campaign, it may feel a bit overpriced.
