ホテル妙泉 Hotel Myosen

Definitely recommended. Great location, staff and is great for the ski vacation short or long term. The snow may even fall so much overnight that it's hard to get out of the hotel ;)

Perfect location. So easy to get to from Myoko station. Traditional Japanese styled rooms. Rooms were big enough and comfortable. Breakfast options perfect. Onsen and showers did the job each night. Laundry and dryers provided.
Only 1 to 5 minutes walk to the shops and restaurants. I will be back here

Stayed with Susan and her team early in the season. We drove, so the parking was easy right in front (and they have more opposite the road).
Love the onsen baths on the ground floor after a day on the slopes (bookable!), and the warm lobby area was nice and spacious to chill with a drink and chat with friends. They were able to help organise good rates with the rental gear nearby.
The hallways can be a bit cold, but the room was pretty spacious and warm (and warmed pre-arrival). Private bathroom was a little tight though. Good value for the location and area actually. Careful when walking up the slope to the other restaurants as it gets pretty slippery at night!

I did not stay here and nor would I want to. The manageress was incredible rude and borderline offensive.
My young daughter, in skiboots, desperately needed the toilet and being a long walk back to our much nicer hotel I asked the kind man outside if she could quickly use their toilet in the hotel. He said no problem, what a nice chap.
The manageress on the other hand, who saw me waiting in the hallway, asked what I was doing. I explained and a disgusted look came across her face. She clearly was not hospitable and unsympathetic to my child's needs, which in Japan is exceedingly rare, especially when toilets are involved.
I confirmed I would never give her the pleasure of gracing her establishment again and I will simply go to the toilet outside her front door next time.

I've had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Myosen multiple times and it never disappoints. The owner, Susan, is a gem and always goes out of her way to make guests feel welcome and comfortable. The rooms are consistently clean and cozy, offering a unique Japanese-style accommodation experience that might be different from what one is used to in western hotels, especially in ski areas. Keep in mind that shower, bathroom, and toilet facilities are generally shared.

In addition to the great amenities, Hotel Myosen is also excellently located just off the Main Street. It's an easy walk to the Akakura Onsen ski area and busses, making it a convenient choice for those looking to hit the slopes without having to worry about transportation. Personally, I love staying in the Japanese Ryokan-style rooms with futons - they're surprisingly comfortable and perfect for winding down after a day on the slopes. Overall, Hotel Myosen is a great choice for those looking for a cozy and authentic Japanese hotel experience.

We had an excellent stay here! At first, we were off to a rough start because our rental car got stuck in the snow and I got injured. Susan helped us make phone calls to receive help, was accommodating of my injury when we got there, and make phone calls so we could get our stuff and a new rental car. The rooms were cozy and the Osen was amazing. This area has more snowfall and warmer temperatures than Hokkaido so skiing was more enjoyable. The ski resorts nearby were cheap and within walking distance. We even got a discount on the rental gear due to the hotel. They have a drying room downstairs where we put our gear to dry after use next to a heater so they were warm and dry for the next day. Nick and Susan were so funny and great conversationalists and we felt comfortable and happy there. Highly recommend!

外人だらけでした。
和風の名前ですが赤倉温泉エリアは特に欧米人が多いです。
ドミトリー八人部屋は初体験かも。
なかなか荷物をあけるのが難しいです
受付の女性は日本語話せて感じもいい。
ただ、風呂の時間が決まってるのがせわしい。
歯をどこで磨いたらいいのかもわからなかった。
風呂場もプライベートで予約してる時間があり入れないことがあり
結局、二階のトイレの水道で歯磨きしました。
朝食はお願いしなかったのでわかりません。
時期的に繁忙期なので値段で選んだのですがベッドくらいしか居場所を見つけられずでした。
温泉はよかったです。
チェックアウト後も温泉に入ることができました。
良いとこと悪いとこ多々ありますが金額を考え四つです。

Very old and tired. Fantastic location for food and exploring the village. Pretty sure the front counter staff where gaming the entire time

2019年～2020年にかけての年末年始に、3泊4日で家族4人で1室というタイプの部屋に空きがあり、スキー場徒歩圏で、大浴場があり、共同トイレで無い、という条件でBookingコムで絞りこみ、条件がほぼ満足できて値段が安かったので宿泊しました。特徴としては外国人スタッフによる外国人（特に欧米系）向けの運営が行われている簡素なホテルです。特筆すべきようなものは何もありませんが、値段が上述した条件での相場に照らすと半値くらいだったことを考えると、致し方なしという気がしております。基本素泊まりで一日スキーを楽しむという使い方に適するのではないでしょうか。むしろそのような使い方を求める向きには、変にサービスを向上して宿泊費が高くなるよりも、あくまでも泊まるだけという割り切った運営形態は歓迎するべきところだと思っています。宿泊を考える方への注意点としては、英語主体の運営なので日本語は片言レベルでしか通じない。（おそらく欧米系宿泊客のニーズに合わせて）大浴場は男女浴場を30分毎にプライベートユーズとし、残りの時間を全宿泊客に開放としている（開放されている時間は殆ど利用者がいない）、大浴場のお湯の温度が低い（多分38度とか37度とかのあたり）、小さいタオルは提供されない、部屋に湯沸かしポットが無い、布団の丈がかなり短い（身長160cmでも短いと感じるほど）等です。
