MYOKO
Niigata
The Mountain
Myoko is located in the Niigata prefecture and consits of Akakura (main village), Seki Onsen, Suginohara & Ikenotaira. You can travel by the mountain shuttle bus to go skiing and snowboarding in the other areas. We can arrange the Myoko Big 4 lift passes which are the common ski passes for these four resorts. If it is possible to have one area that tickes all the boxes it is Myoko. Firsty, it has excellent snow, but also a varitey of runs to suit all levels. It is not a big town, but there are plenty of resteraunts and bars to chose from.
Where to stay
The accommodation is mainly Japanese style, yet it still has enough English services such as English speaking lessons & day care and some western style accommodation options.
The Location
It is about 90 minutes from Tokyo to Nagano station by Shinkansen bullet train and change to a local train which takes about 40 minutes to Myoko Kogen Station. We can arrange a pick up and drop off for Myoko Kogen station. But the easiest way to get there would be the direct airport transfers.

The hotel - not so great to be honest. It was very old and the decor extremely dated. The other issue for me personally, all these low doorways. I bumped my head a few times on the doorframe to our bedroom and heading towards the dining area. It was warm and clean - so cannot fault that. It's just not a hotel type we are used to. It was nice and close to the snow and conveniently located, so we cannot fault that. Myoko was awesome and I wish we could've spent more time there.

Thanks for the reminder. I have been meaning to thank you for organising our accommodation in Japan. The Akakura Hotel was wonderful. The rooms were great with the bedroom plus living room made it perfect for a family trip – we had two little ones 2 and 4 years old. Great staff and perfectly located just 200m from the lifts and right near the centre of all the restaurants. Could not have asked for more. Thank you!
