Walk to Akakura Onsen Ski Lift & Town by Japow House

The kerosene heater is probably one of the wildest and scariest things I’ve ever seen in a hotel.

“Cozy and authentic Japanese hotel with wonderful owners / staff, just not a “short walk””

The staff were lovely and the atmosphere cozy. The description of a “short walk to Akakura lift” is misleading: the property sits down a steep road and it takes at least a 10‑minute strenuous walk. We chose the place because of its claimed location. A mini‑van shuttle goes to the lifts (but not back). It’s not as convenient as the name suggests. Without a restaurant, you’re forced to hike into town each night. Otherwise, a lovely stay.

Kimi and Miyu were incredibly welcoming, answering every question and going the extra mile to make you feel at home – would definitely recommend!

“We had a wonderful stay at Japow House. Hosts & staff were so friendly & went out of their way to ensure all gue”

The accommodation was great, with clean facilities, tasty daily breakfast, and a courtesy shuttle to town each morning; the hosts and staff were fabulous, always friendly and helpful, though the location at the hill’s base can be tough on the legs when walking to and from town.

“Our second time staying with Kimi and Miyu at Japow House and it was perfect. Like a home away from home.”

The place was comfortable and spotless, and Kimi and Miyu made hosting a pleasure; nothing to complain about.
