    Staff are very friendly. Shared amenities were very clean - there were also two different sized onsen baths available for guests to use which was great after a day on the snow. A massive drying room was available for use for all guests which was great for all our snow gear. Breakfast was fantastic - we stayed for 3 days and it was a different cuisine everyday. Location was about a 100m walk to the Yodel Chairlift of Akakura Onsen ski field.

    The family that run the property are so lovely and so helpful. The Rooms are actually quite large and the private onsens are a nice treat. This lodge is in a perfect location, in the middle of the busy area of akakura with bars and restaurants around. The lodge also has a restaurant attached that offers great meals - I recommend the Sukiyaki

    While we had a fantastic stay the stairs to the rooms and toilets are quite steep. This might be challenging for older people.

    Great location, warm and clean. Onsen and good restaurant on site. The staff were very friendly and went out of their way to carry our bags up the stairs and drive us to the train station. Ski hire 50 metres from the Lodge.

    Cant think of anything.

    Wonderful Cosy rustic Traditional Authentic Janpanses Hotel/Restaurant/Museam run by local hardworking family that did everything to make our stay Fantastic. Daily breakfast was excellent and the night we are in was 100%. 2x In-house complementory Onsen. So morning and night. Before and after the slopes. Couldn't have lasted a week on the slopes without it. Central to all the restaurants, bars and everything else in Akakura Onsen area

    Nothing, it was exactly as we expected.

    The lodge is cosy and well run. The location is fantastic, right in Akaura Onsen town. The onsen is lovely. The rooms are exactly what we expected in a small ski style lodge. Great drying room. Most importantly, the staff were amazing. They were so friendly and helpful. We didn't speak Japanese, but the staff helped us with a smile and lots of google translate! We left an ipad in the room after we had checked out and it was promptly forwarded onto us at our next location. We will definitely use this lodge next time we are in Akakura.

    We didn’t mind the shared bathroom but it would be a negative to some!!

    I loved the private onsen. I loved the beautiful family that was running this lodge. The breakfast every morning was varied & delicious!! The staff were very helpful & lovely. The rooms were clean . Plus it was only 300 metres from the ski lifts. Hunter Lodge has a very good restaurant downstairs which our friends who were staying elsewhere always wanted to book at our place!!

    No complaints from us. Our stay was great!

    The location is perfect! So close to everything. Only a short walk to the chairlift for Akakura Onsen ski area and great restaurants near by. The rooms are generously spacious and clean and so comfortable. Love that the bathroom has an onsen. Love the restaurant downstairs. Great food for breakfast and dinner. The staff are so incredibly friendly and helpful. We loved our stay here and can’t rate this place high enough. We will definitely be staying here again when we come back. Thank you to the owner/family and staff for making our stay so enjoyable. See you next time.

    Be aware toilet is on a different floor than the rooms, so you need to walk down and up stairs, which can be slightly tiring in the middle of the night or morning.

    Friendly family run lodging. Two little onsen bathrooms you can use privately, one with lie-down onsen. Comfortable beds and cozy room with living area in room. Green tea and hot water to drink. Lodge manager offered to pick us up from train station and dropped us off at bus station when leaving. Would definitely stay here again and recommend others to too.

    The male onsen water was a bit smelly. I think it needed flushing out with new water.

    The family that run the lodge are very welcoming and helped with all our needs. The beds were comfy and the heater in the room made things very warm. The food there was very delicious so be sure to try the restaurant if it’s not booked out.

    the owner was very helpful. I was going to get a shuttle bus and he knew that the bus was not running and arranged alternative transport for my crew. he also arranged to store my bags for the day after checking out whilst I went snow boarding.
