Mieko, her husband and the team where very welcoming and provided the highest service Mieko also spoke very good English and helped us with anything we needed help with. The hotel is also really well laid out with chill out lounge and good food options and drinks in the hotel lounge or restaurant area Also inside and outside onsen where just the best after snowboarding all day and on rest days The breakfast was excellent and had many Western & Japanese options. Again with excellent staff serving. The hotel is ideally located in town and very close to Akukara Onsen ski field. Also close to shuttle buses for the other fields also Shuttle bus can also be arranged with the hotel from Myoko Kogen station if let them know in advance The also offer discounted ski field passes and shuttle bus tickets Simply put, a wonderful stay in a fantastic hotel in the beautiful area of Myoko.

Mieko and team are exceptionally friendly and so helpful in making your stay enjoyable. Service provided goes way above expectations from booking dinners to collecting our luggage from the local black cat depot to minimise any delays in getting on the snow. The service really is outstanding. Location is great with a short walk to lifts, restaurants and bus terminal for travelling to other snow resorts, the buffet breakfast is amazing…and those pancakes! Would definitely stay here again when next visiting Myoko.
The facilities are on the dated side, but that is a side note that is easy overshadowed by the exceptional service the team provides.

The service is great! Mieko-san was super responsive and super understanding about various changes I made to my booking. She also helped to make reservations for dinner and kept me updated on any requests I had. The service staff were always so friendly and polite. Breakfast was delicious! Location is amazing, so close to all the food and shops you need, including gear rental and just a little walk to the ski lift. Onsen was also great!
The toilets are a bit outdated but still functional!

Nothing was too hard she totally went out of her way to be helpful in fact all the stuff were happy and helpful. Totally loved this place and would recommend to anyone.

Lovely team All staff friendly but Mieko was amazing and helped us from long before our arrival until when we left, it felt like everyday I was asking for something and she smile and was happy to help The owner went out of his way to help us as we got stuck in snow at station so he collected us (so kind) Onsen was lovey too Easy walk to lots of restaurants, bars and the ski slopes
Nothing - all good

It’s in a quaint village with a nostalgic feel. We love and enjoy the stay in Myoko. Everyone was so helpful. We could ski at Lotte Arai or akakura. We drove from Tokyo to myoko. A 4WD is recommended to drive there in snowy weather. Skis rental is just next to the hotel. A nice Xmas eve party in the village is a very nice touch, free sausage, free sake and beer and fireworks! Lovely! Special thank to Mieko and staffs. They are all so helpful and also aoyoma sports for their help. We would love to go back again for sure.
a more updated room.

The breakfasts were fabulous this property. Every morning, we had a good selection of western and eastern options. Mieko’s pancakes were a real hit with the kids. We loved using the onsen each night. The property offers a free shuttle to and from Myoko Kogen station. We were warmly greeted by Cooper on the first day of our stay at the station. But the real highlight of this property are the staff and customer service. It is a family-run property who care about their guests. We will be back.
Nothing at all!

Everything is great - comfortable large tatami rooms with great view, great onsen, excellent breakfast (and dinner if you want to eat in), nice lounge areas and wonderful staff. Mieko and the team are so welcoming and she will sort out all your arrangements so efficiently and graciously. The place is really lovely with lots of nice little touches, super clean and comfortable and a great location.
Its a shame that the predominantly non-Japanese customers often dont respect the various norms that are expected in Japanese establishments (like footwear protocols, mask wearing, noise levels, onsen use, etc). This was a bit annoying and disrespectful and must be so frustrating for the hotel staff. Its great they still offer Japanese breakfast options (despite everyone ordering fried eggs and bacon on toast!) - I really hope Kogakuro can maintain its Japanese identity as that is what makes the place so special

Everything about Kogakuro was perfect. The concierge, Meiko, was amazing, incredibly helpful with general advice, restaurant booking, transfers. The hotel was spotlessly clean and tidy, the rooms super comfortable. The onsen is fabulous. Great location at the top of the main street, easy walk to restaurants, ski hire and ski lift is nearby. I could not fault anything about our stay at Kogakuro. Will definitely stay here again when I return to Myoko.

I mainly adored Mieko (the front desk person) her service was beyond any I’ve received in hospitality, she helped myself and my partner whether or not it was related to our accommodation and with great detail The hotel was traditional so if you’re after ‘ritzy’ it’s not it, but it was worth every penny and our favourite part of our entire Japan holiday The Onsen was wonderful and the breakfast had a perfect Japanese/English combo The accommodation was comfy and clean - would definitely stay again just to see Mieko!
