Myoko mountain hamlet Onsen Inn Kofukan — Hotel in Myoko

As I sat in the Onsen looking at the full moon come up through the branches and snow in the trees and over the mountains I thought about why I love this hotel so much.||||Certainly the Onsen is great. Outside is comfortably warm and inside is hotter. Locals pay to come to use it. ||||The staff is courteous and attentive to the many details that go into a great stay. The warmth from them was genuine and made us feel at home. ||||We stayed in 3 rooms of Japanese style. In the traditional manner they are cold when you come into them, but the heater quickly does its job. Remember to turn the heater on under the low table if you are sitting at it. Bathroom was down the hall and this worked fine.||||We took our breakfasts at Kokufan and enjoyed both the Japanese style with multiple dishes and the Western with a hot pot to cook eggs, toaster at the table with home made jam and fruit/yogurt. The 2 suppers we had were great with multiple courses all beautifully prepared.||||We walked 2 blocks to an absolutely fabulous sushi restaurant on a couple of occasions.||||They had convenient ski storage and a drying room available (we didn't like the kerosene odor from the heaters though)||||Stay here if …||You want a traditional style off accommodation that you can feel at home in. Excellent value for money.||||Stay elsewhere if …||You want to be in walking distance to the ski hills. The owner is kind about driving you 15 minutes to the nearby spots and we rented a guide service to take us...

This is a family run hotel. Our room is the highest room with a balcony ! We like the Japanese style room. But our toilet is outside and the if the shower place is in the Onsen. Personally I love this place. Decoration inside is so nice and made me feel so comfortable. Me and my family have a nice stay.

The staff are very helpful . Our train stopped due to earthquake and, without any bother, they were able to come to another station to pick up us. Everyday they got shuttle from hotel to the ski resort. Sometime our schedule didn’t match the fixed schedule , they still willing to give us a ride. They are so nice and helpful.

We even forgot to checkout on the last day before going to skiing. But they were not mad at us and we can still go for the onsen.

It is a place with love. But it was a bit old but I rather to use “ traditional” “ place with history” instead of old. But if you need a place which is very clean and new, do think about it .

Last but not least , the onsen was so great. I had twice per day. It was so relaxing with the outdoor view. They got an outdoor onsen but we can’t enjoy it due to earthquakes.

Oh yeah , the breakfast is a Japanese breakfast it was great. But western people may not like it as it was breakfast with rice . The dinner and food there was nice too!

And thanks for your...
