Yunoyado Mochizuki

Akakura Onsen is a great little Japanese town in the snow. Akakura Park Hotel provided a large twin room, with AC and a small fridge, small lounge and lots of space (unusual for Japan). Breakfast was a western buffet with japanese options also. Drying room and a nice hot en also. Only issue is that the ski lift is a 400m walk up a slope and then back again at the end of the day. Lots of small japanese restaurants available in the main street but you have to book the day before for some. Lots of snow and one blue sky day for our week of skiing.

Great accommodation and service

We stayed at this hotel for 5 nights and loved every day. Amazing views from our room, incredibly clean, and super fresh and delicious breakfast. It’s has a little Onsen that it’s great for after a very hard day snowboarding. The hosts are the stars of the place, they will help you with whatever you need and they are so super polity and friendly. We felt we had a home away from home at this place :)

Hotel is quite old but clean. Staff were incredibly helpful and nice. Breakfast was very good and a good start to the day. Only letdown was two large groups of snowboarders who would scream and yell when coming back from the bars into the hotel after their night out. This went on for eight nights which became very tiresome. Their behaviour in the hotel was not respectful to the staff and other guests. If you were considering a stay at this place I would suggest requesting a room at the back of the hotel where it is less likely to be impacted by noisy guests.
