Tesoro Okushiga — Hotel in Yamanouchi

Absolutely loved this little piece of heaven. We had the most incredible stay with hosts, the Ogino family. Kimio, Kyoko and Komomo have created a wonderful sanctuary and showed us the best in hospitality. Kimio sent informative, helpful emails prior to arrival and was there to welcome us when we first arrived by bus from Nagano. ||The lodge is gorgeous. We’re a family of five so we booked two rooms - comfy beds and spacious. Breakfast and dinners are included in rates, and the meals are amazing. Kyoko is a wonderful chef who plates up delicious feasts with local produce night after night. Incredible. All to a great jazz playlist in a room full of vinyl, excellent coffee, local beer, great sake and whiskey.||The family exude warmth and love for their surroundings. Big smiles, genuine interest and concern for their guests. We were lucky enough to have a morning of skiing with Komomo our little local guide. A trip highlight. ||The location is amazing, a ski in/out lodge on the mountain. Good ski hire next door at the Grand Phoenix. We stayed in winter but imagine it would be so beautiful for green season, the mountains are literally at the back door and there’s so much to explore. ||Thank you so much for the memories Kimio, Kyoko and Komomo. ||Can’t...

Our family have been skiing in Japan from last ten years during the winter holidays. Staying in Tesoro definitely was one of our memorable ski trips. The host Mr Kimio and his family provided excellent service and created a beautiful holiday atmosphere for their guests that you will never forget. The lodge is clean and cozy in which surrounded with tasteful decorations . The food is unbelievably delicious and beautiful setting that you won’t believe that it is home-made. The location is also good to the tourists who don’t drive because it just takes a short walk to the lodge from the public bus station. The ski rental and ski lift are just right...

We have stayed here 2 years in a row and cant fault this place. The host Kimio and Kioko are the best hosts anywhere . They have created a special place to come to after skiing . the food is amazing and the local beers go down a treat. I'm in two minds writing this review as i want to keep this place all to ourselves. After skiing in japan for 9 yrs now its great to find such a delightful lodge to stay at away from the maddening crowds . The dinners are amazing ( thank you KIOKO) and Host ||Kimio is the perfect host. See you next year Kimio /KIOKO and KIMOMO ||And a big thank you for our Cultural day ||||Thank you from Tim ,Ursula, Ingrid,...
