Myoko Forest Lodge

I cannot stop raving about our stay to our ski-friends. The combination of the wonderful staff, meals, warm rooms and everything-you-need facilities through to the return transfers each day, I’ll be returning again. My daughter and I shared a twin room w shared bathroom for 8 nights. With only 3 rooms sharing the schedule for the bathroom there was no issue with access. Plus the mineral bath was amazing!

Nothing!

Both the hosts, Brett and Chereyne, were amazing people! The room was nice, clean and warm. The lounge area was cozy and it was a nice place to chill and enjoy some drinks especially after a long day out snowboarding.

The hotel location was not near town but the hotel does provide free transport to the nearby ski resort everyday. Transport to other ski resorts are also available at a small fee. There wasn’t any food options nearby but the hotel offers different dining options everyday.

Everything was pretty exceptional! The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make sure we were having a good time and were comfortable. They're really knowledgeable about the area and have great suggestions for ski resorts and other activities. The meals, both breakfast and dinner were great and really social affairs too! We also really appreciated the daily transfers that were organized.

The bathroom was a bit cold.

brett and cheryene were ever gracious hosts. i enquired about onsens nearby and cheryene took the trouble to pass some info to me the next day at breakfast which was much appreciated. meals were always delicious and i did have drinks during dinner, but since i had missed a few dinners during my stay, they made the gesture to cover my drinks during the stay, which, i might add, they didn't have to do. driving to the resorts was a non-issue, since all were close, within 5km. will stay with them again on my next visit to myoko. by the way, mingling with the other snowboarders and skiers during meals was so fantasti as well!

nothing, come to think of it.....

The hospitality of owners and staff was wonderful.

The staff at Myoko Forest Lodge were exceptional. They cooked great food, had excellent tips and advice about the area including good info on where the best snow might be found. We were treated like VIPs by everyone. The beds were super warm and cozy and the inhouse bath was divine.

A little far away to walk to the nearest village for dinner etc. although the lodge did provide paid transfers to dinner and was possible to eat in house.

Brett was helpful and sharing with local ski knowledge.

If we stayed again we'd probably rent a car to have a bit more flexibility to get around, although saying that the van transfers to different resorts was very handy.

Great staff and fabulous food. Very peaceful.

It was a little bit out of town, however the staff were amazing and dropped us everywhere.

This place is amazing! The room was super clean, warm, and the bed was really comfortable. Good reliable WiFi throughout the lodge, and if you're a skier or snowboarder the drying room downstairs is perfect for storing your gear. The location is lovely and scenic but only a short drive to plenty of places to eat, the train station, and the various snow resorts; transfers to the resorts were easy to organise, and a few of the closer ones are offered free of charge (the further ones cost but are very reasonable). The traditional bath they have available is also incredible for a soak after a big day on the mountain! Chereyne and Brett are fantastic hosts with a wealth of knowledge about the area, very welcoming and happy to help with things like train station pickups, making local dinner reservations, making resort recommendations etc. They were also super accommodating of my dietary requirements (vegan) for all meals we ate at the lodge - amazing cooked breakfasts with continental options available too, and beautiful traditional barbeque dinners (they alternate with more western style meals and it's up to you which you want to eat in/out for). Myoko is a beautiful spot with some amazing snow to be enjoyed and it's super accessible from Tokyo, would absolutely recommend this place and hope we get the opportunity to come back!

Nothing, all great!
