Red Fox Lodge Myoko

Perfect location.. Ski in/out.. next to a twin lift that delivers u to the main Gondala..

Loved it. A few steps to the chairlift. Lift passes available from the hotel. Comfy beds. Friendly staff. Charming little resort. Aussie food in the restaurant plus a few nice places to eat in strolling distance. Lift to the station.

Minor cons which were easily offset by the overall great experience: Shared bathrooms were clean and close to our room but the showers were a couple of storeys down from our room and more rustic. Without a car, it is possible to visit other ski areas, but it was tricky. Buses are infrequent and finish very early. We waited 2.5 hours for a taxi back from Akakura one evening - book taxis early or hire a car as everyone advises 😅. Having said that, we will happily come again without a car, and just stay local.

Amazing stay. Brendon, Ash, Travis, and Nev were all fantastic. Picked me up from the station and made me feel at home from the moment I stepped inside. Great restaurant and breakfast. You can see the lifts from the lodge. I would absolutely stay here again and already wish I could come back!

Brendan was very hospitable. Took time out to always say hello & check if you were happy & needed anything. Buffet breakfast was fresh & tasty. Great start Breakie for a days skiing. Rooms were spacious & clean. Nice cosy areas to sit & enjoy after a day on the slopes.

I have just completed a 2 week stay here with my wife and 5 kids and to say the stay was enjoyable is an understatement. We booked the family suite which comprised of 2 rooms with an interconnecting door. Each room had the most comfortable western King size bed and a single. The quality of the linen was not lost on me nor were the 5 star grade pillows. This was changed many times during our stage, without asking. We drove from Tokyo and always had a parking spot at the door along with snow clearing equipment. Toilets are on each floor in groups of 3 male and 3 female cubicles. At first I thought this would be annoying but I can assure you having a large group conduct there business away from the room turned out to be a blessing.. Each morning we dined at the in house restaurant “The Den”. Breakfast was a continental style buffet with alcarte options available for premium coffees and breakfast items. Located in Suginohara, restaurants are limited so many nights we enjoyed the western menu of the Den. The owner, Brendan, is a chef and the quality of the dishes were a testament to his knowledge and skill. Well priced, with a nice variety. It is also licensed with ressonable priced alcohol. Skiing was the main reason for our stay and the location could not be better., My window was a mere 20m from the Ski Lift. Although we didn’t;t take advantage of it, Brendan was more than happy to assist guests with pickup and drop off to surrounding stations,. I left the best till last. Having skied all over the world, including 3 trips this year alone, I have never experienced a better boot room. Ample storage with actual boot and glove driers. So much hanging space for wet skis, boards and outer wear. It was always warm and access is right by the front door with plenty of room for multiple people. I will definitely be back. Thanks to Brendan and his team for the consistent great service and never ending smiles.

Location location! Red Fox Lodge was ski in, ski out with a 5 minute double chair ride right behind the lodge to take you up to Myoko Suginohara gondola. The beds were super comfortable and the rooms had a view of either Suginohara mountain or Kurohime mountain. The continental breakfast was only $10 and had a good selection of pastries, fruit, yoghurt, boiled eggs and even Vegemite was available!

The showers were located on the ground floor just next to the reception area and were very cold in the bathroom. Floors were not heated. There is an onsen but it is not in use. The food at The Den restaurant was nice, but limited to Western food. Would be nice to have some Japanese food options.
