NEW ACCOMMODATION OPTIONS

Everyone wants something different out of a ski holiday, and that's why we are always looking to add new and varied options for your stay. We still offer our old favourites like Seventh Door and Korakuso, but we are also proud to add a few classic ryokan choices for next season.

Gen Ryokan: A real Japanese experience, Gen is a luxury ryokan located in a quiet snow-filled birch forest. It is in a secluded location approximately 5 minutes walk from the lifts at the Ikenotaira ski area, and is a real step up in quality from the other hotels in the area. The rooms are very stylish, and many of them offer private balcony onsens. What could be better than soaking in your very own onsen after a tough day on the slopes? Gen also has a high class restaurant offering traditional multi course Japanese food.

As it is located some distance from the Akakura village, Gen is the perfect option for those after a private getaway with a taste of traditional Japanese luxury. For more information or photos, click through to our Gen webpage link.

Okayama Ryokan: Okayama is a traditional Japanese option, and has been owned and run by the Okayama family for over 50 years. The rooms are traditional and spacious, and this is a very popular option with Japanese guests visiting the area. The hotel also serves some of the best Japanese food in Myoko, with wonderful meals prepared by the in-house chef.

The rooms do not offer ensuite facilities and showering is the onsen, as is typical for traditional Japanese guesthouses. We love Okayama, and think it will suit people who want to have the full cultural experience. The owners are incredibly friendly, and always make the effort to welcome you after a day of skiing. All the photos and details are on our Okayama webpage.
