The Address Akakura

Fantastic location on the main street, right next door to the major ski hire centre and minutes from the ski lifts. The staff were super friendly and helpful, particularly when trying to locate our luggage forward shipped from Tokyo - no fault of their own. The western rooms were large by Japanese standards and well-equipped.

If you are a light sleeper, take ear plugs as the snow clearers rattle down the street throughout the night. Not a complaint - as we were treated to awesome snow the next day! Quite pricey but we loved every minute.

Location. Staff very helpful. On site Onsen. Self catering. Comfy beds

The location is along the main street, very close to rental shops, the base lift, convenient stores, and restaurants. The hotel owner/manager John is very friendly and helpful. There is space in the basement for storing ski equipment, which is nice.

Since it's a small hotel, the meal choice is limited to simple breakfast and one-dish dinner. Nevertheless, availability of the breakfast was quite helpful to me.

This is a lovely establishment located about a 2 minute walk to one of Akakura's main chairlifts. The assistance provided by the owner, John, was exceptional - nothing was too much trouble. He was so responsive on emails before we left for our trip, and an amazing host during our stay who went above and beyond to assist us with all of our queries, bookings etc. The onsen in the basement was very clean and an asset to the place. Several cafes serving excellent coffee are located within a 200m radius. The 4 of us (2 adults, 2 teenagers) thoroughly enjoyed our time at The Address and would definitely stay there again. Highly recommended!

The breakfast was fine but could be slightly improved with a greater selection.

Great location , spacious room , lovely onsen.

N/a

We stayed a week in mid January (2025) and had a great time at the Address Akakura. The rooms were very clean and the ability to cook or have a light breakfast in the room was a bonus. The beds were very comfortable and the room was very spacious. Little things like having heating you could control, plenty of storage and hanging space and a good sized bathroom were nice touches (you don't get these things in every Akakura hotel from experience). Johnny was a lovely host who helped us to book restaurants and other day activities when needed. We would definitely stay again and appreciated how central to everything the hotel was! Thanks for a memorable stay.

A little noisy in winter when the road clearing happens (nothing to do with the hotel and would impact many of the Akakura Hotels).

The beds were very comfortable, we paid for the breakfast option and the food and coffee was just right every morning. Clean facilities, the staff was always there to assist if we had questions. The shuttle only takes you to Suginohara, Akakura Kanko and Ikenotaira. But if you give them advance notice, they can come get you when you’re done skiing for the day, it’s a wonderful amenity! The Onsen in the property is delightful as well, much needed after skiing all day. The location is perfect for walking anywhere, rentals, food, local buses stops and the convenience store. The front desk has all the information needed to get to know the town easily and find your way around. One of the best ski properties I’ve ever stayed at in Japan!

Can’t think of anything!

Stayed at the newly renovated Matsuya Hotel; room was adequately furnished & clean. Location was perfect; 5 min walk to the lift. Staff were helpful & provided good service. The owner John was a fantastic host & took personal effort to see that his guests were comfortable.
