Lodge Yama No Manimani - Nature Stay in Okushiga Kogen

Couldn't recommend this place more! We had a lovely time staying at Lodge Yama No Manimani! Very personal experience at this lodge located just steps away from Okushiga Kogen ski resort. Ski Rentals also just steps away. Every detail in this quaint little lodge has been carefully crafted! Perfect ambience to add to our stay! The meals were prepped by the owner and his wife and were easily one of the best meals we had on our trip to Japan (specifically dinner). Breakfast was great and was a mixture of western and traditional Japanese. Onsen experience with time reservations for up to 3 people at a time to allow for privacy. Nice common spaces with snacks/drinks for purchase. Kitchen available for your use. There is local bus transportation available at certain times and taxi from Yudanaka station. Host is just a quick message away and is very accommodating and able to answer any questions you might have.

Of our 17 day Japan trip where we went all over the country, including Hokkaido, Lodge Yama-No-Manimani was the absolute best place we stayed. It was so incredibly cozy and welcoming. The hosts were wonderful, gracious, and spoke English very well. The food was sincerely the best we had during our entire stay. The dinners and breakfasts were an excellent home cooked change from the rest of the places we went. There were two private osens you could reserve during your stay; very relaxing. There was always some well curated music playing in the different rooms. A short walk from the okushiga kogen lodge and lift and an hourish travel to the snow monkey park. Just a note it is pretty far out and there isn't much around, so plan to be contained during your stay.

Amazing location, almost ski in ski out it is so close to the okushiga lift! The lodge is beautifully decorated with so many thoughtful touches. Great features I include underfloor heating, boot warmers, a kitchenette and lounge upstairs, great lighting in the rooms. The 5 course meals were exceptional and the breakfasts perfect to fuel you for a day of skiing.

Nothing, I will be recommending to my family and will definitely be back!
