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.

The food was exactly what I expected. It looked great and tasted great. The watermelon in this season was sweet and delicious. I got carried away and ate too much, and ended up feeling unwell. The staff’s service also felt completely different from other hotels and was very pleasant (smiles, greetings, etc.). The Room was spacious and relaxing, but perhaps the walls are thin—the voices of guests walking in the hallway echoed more than expected, so that was the only downside for me.

I stayed here for fishing both last year and this year. The lakeside view from the window was wonderful, and I was able to relax and get plenty of rest. I’d like to stay again next year.

The Facility was extremely clean, and the bath was great. The amenities were well stocked, and we stayed with both dinner and breakfast included this time. The food was simply delicious. We would love to stay again.

To escape Tokyo’s heat after the rainy season, I stayed at this Accommodation near Lake Nojiri for two nights. In short, it was a wonderful experience. Needless to say, the Facility is brand-new and newly opened, and the unobstructed, majestic views of Mt. Myoko and Mt. Kurohime from the Room felt almost unreal. Above all, I was truly moved by the outstanding hospitality of everyone at the Hotel. I have quite a few food dislikes, and they kindly prepared special dishes to accommodate my requests—I’m sincerely grateful. The meals still made generous use of local ingredients, and every dish was excellent. I also enjoyed watching the food being prepared right in front of me, followed by a lively conversation with the chef afterward. On a day when I had to leave early and couldn’t have breakfast at the Hotel, they instead made hearty onigiri for me to take along. I feel that with just one night you might not be able to fully experience everything this Hotel offers, so if possible I recommend staying two nights or more. I would love to visit again in another season. I often use IKYU for Accommodation Reservations, but after this stay I felt compelled to write a comment for the first time.

Ideal accommodation for a ski trip. Conveniently located near the highway interchange, making it a great base for exploring areas like Myoko, Togakushi, and Madarao. There are no shops around the accommodation, and it may take about 10–15 minutes by car to reach the nearest convenience store or supermarket. Perfect for spending a quiet and relaxing time.

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!

Since I visit Madarao Kogen 2–3 times every year, I always book this Room for a Multiple Night Stay whenever it is available. The Facility is understandably a bit dated, but the Room is thoroughly cleaned, and I truly appreciate how kindly they take care of me even when I arrive late each time.

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.

I stayed here after visiting Zenkoji Temple. I made a Reservation with two meals included so I could relax, and the location was even quieter than I expected. In a way, I was able to fully enjoy Nagano’s nature, and the bath was almost private most of the time—such a luxury. I had many conversations with the owners, and although I may have asked too many questions, they were truly friendly and cheerful, and it was a wonderful time. The food was very delicious.

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

The Onsen, meals, and hospitality were all excellent. I would like to stay again.

With work finally wrapped up, I stayed at Kyukamura Myoko as a treat for myself and my family. From the moment we arrived, the soothing aroma helped us unwind. We relaxed in our Japanese-style Room, enjoyed the welcome coffee, gazed up at Mt. Myoko, and took it easy on the sofa. The Onsen and sauna were very comfortable, but it was truly disappointing that there was no open-air bath. Dinner was the Kanade course and far exceeded our expectations—fresh sashimi, beef shabu-shabu, handmade desserts, and even a rice tasting comparison. Drinks were more reasonably priced than I expected as well, so we were very satisfied with the meal. Slightly tipsy afterward, we roasted marshmallows at the outdoor bonfire area (free of charge) and spent some time chatting with family and other guests while watching the flames. Breakfast also featured many Niigata specialties (tare-katsu, fried tofu, soba noodles, Koshihikari rice, Yasuda yogurt...), so much that we couldn’t finish everything—and we were truly satisfied. Overall, it was an Accommodation where we could really relax at a slow pace, and I would love to stay again with my family.

I stayed for two nights to climb Mt. Myoko. As a guest here for hiking, I was most grateful to be able to use the free laundry that dries everything perfectly. Thank you very much. The handsome young owner, who resembles actor Ryohei Otani, provides attentive service with hospitality like a five-star Hotel, and his answers to questions are reassuring. I chose the boxed dinner, and it was generous in portion—more than enough to refuel after the climb. The taste was excellent as well. In particular, the miso soup with thin bamboo shoots (hime-takenoko?) was outstanding. The Onsen is rated higher than Akita’s Nyuto Onsen by Nikkei newspaper, and I completely agree. Soaking in the water made my post-hike fatigue disappear at once. The view from the open-air bath is also amazing! I think this sense of openness is what makes it better than Nyuto Onsen. Next time, I would love to visit during the autumn foliage season.

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.

This was our second stay, and just like last time, we came in February to play in the snow. Above all, the staff were very kind both last year and this year, which made our stay truly pleasant. We stayed with a large dog, and the Room was so spacious that even after setting up a soft dog crate, it still felt just as roomy! The Room was kept very warm with a gas heater, and since we cooked for ourselves, it felt nostalgic—like an old training camp. We will visit again next year. Thank you.

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.
