Kinta Naeba Hotel guest reviews

9th February 2023

I’m so glad to provide feedback about the Kinta. It was the best place we stayed in , in our three weeks skiing in Japan, and was wonderful.

It was wonderful because the owners really care about their guests and did everything they possibly could to make our stay the best it could be and it was.

The breakfasts and dinners were lovely, not traditional Japanese which we do really enjoy, but they were delicious. Kinta’s recommendations for the best places to eat in Naeba were excellent, and our rooms were comfortable and pleasant. Much nicer than staying in the Prince Hotel !

I would unreservedly recommend the Kinta, thank you so much for bringing it to our attention

Naeba was quite a surprise with some great lift-accessed intermediate to advanced skiing and powder options, and the rambling Kagura area a gondola ride away.

The Kinta is a quirky piece of post-modern Japanese architecture chock full of wonderful art collected by the owner. We stayed in the tower which was a delight – warm, clean and tidy with a good gear drying room at the door. Breakfasts at The Kinta were western style and beautifully made.

The closest ski lift is only a 5 minute walk away and the town is an easily-accessible 10 minute stroll at night to find ten or so dining options. We caught the local bus from Echigo Yuzawa station (around Y630 ea way) and the owner picked us up from the bus stop – too easy.

Kinta is amazing. We have been twice and both types were fantastic. Great snow, lodge is easy walk to slopes, room is spacious with views, spotless and beautifully furnished. Owners are delightful and do everything they can to help you and make you feel at home. The food they serve up is sensational -4 course meals which were delicious. Lovely indoor/ outdoor onsen overlooking the slopes. This is a high quality lodge and is a very relaxing and enjoyable place to stay. I would recommend it to anyone and both times we went we were so impressed with everything. Loved it!

My friends and I have just returned from our Japanese ski holiday and I just wanted to let you know that we had an amazing time and also wanted to thank you for all the organisation you did for us before hand. Our stays at all of the lodges were fantastic. We were overly impressed by the hospitality, the accommodation and helpfulness of Kinta san at Kinta Naeba and the food they cooked for the evening meals was also amazing. Thanks again for everything you did to help us have a relaxing holiday.
