Hotels near Myokosuginohara Ski Resort, Myoko

We had the most incredible experience at Folklore Pension. We absolutely adored the owners, Kaoru-san and Shinri-san. Kaouru was so kind and would often offer to drive us to the station if we needed and pick us up. She told us about her favorite aspects of the area and took us to a really cute nature reserve/lake near the house where we learned about all the cool wildlife in the area and got to see salamanders!! They built their bed and breakfast themselves 40 years ago and it shows as it is so beautifully decorated with details of their loved ones and travels, you can really feel how much love and heart has been put into their home. Almost every night we paid 2500 yen each for dinner and as Shinri-san, the husband, is an incredible chef the meals were always WAY above and beyond. Absolutely incredible quality ingredients, amazing portions, gorgeous presentation, different, authentic and imaginative meals every single night. From hand-made sushi platters to Udon-like soups and steak and incredible pork and fish dishes Shinri-san's talent and generosity never ceased to amaze us. The dining room was also decorated in such a sweet way with many instruments and beautiful, cozy details. They always play the beatles vinyl records as we ate and had an impressive supply of different types of japanese beverages to try if we wanted like sake, japanese wine, or nagano apple juice. They also have breakfast which Kauru-san made us each morning. Always incredible omelets with miso soup and other wonderful dishes and salad. Often different kinds of meats and always the option of rice or toast with our meals. Another incredible detail that we loved was the little homemade stone onsen in the bathroom, always filled with relaxing hot water after a long day. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, and also significantly bigger than anything we had experienced prior in japan. There's a beautiful park just a short walk away next to a river.

Ski in and ski out. Ourdoor onsen

Lovely, spacious ryokan. Very clean, great breakfast. Little bit removed from Myoko Onsen village (10-15 minutes walk) but very close to Myoko Kogen lift area. A pleasure to stay!

Comfortable beds Onsen Great food Good location

Excellent staff and facilities. Perfect for family.

Frankly it’s Brendan and his staff that make this place. It felt like visiting a friend’s lodge. It is also literally next to the beginner chair lift!! This was perfect for our family who are all at different experience levels. Brendan and his whole crew are fabulous! Nothing was too much trouble for them and they always made us feel welcome. I was initially nervous about the shared toilets and showers but I didn’t have to be - every thing was kept clean at all times and I never felt that I needed to wait even when the lodge was at full capacity. Gear drying room was amazing, small details like inside slippers, loads of shared living space, hairdryers, entertainment room, make this place perfect for families. Brendan was kind enough to pick us up from Kurohime train station as Myokokogen station was snowed in, which we were so grateful for! The breakfast is listed as continental but was generous and varied, we ate dinner here most nights too.
