Myoko Powder Weekend
Overview
Join us for an unforgettable weekend at Myoko, one of Japan's premier powder destinations. Whether you're a skier or snowboarder, you'll enjoy the huge variety of course with runs sutiable for all levels of skiier/boarder. Myoko is famous for deep powder runs, stunning mountain views, and relaxing hot springs after a full day on the slopes. Perfect for those looking to experience the best of Japan's winter wonderland!
We will be skiing/boarding at two resorts on this trip: Akakura Onsen & Akakura Kanko. It is also possible to ski/board both resorts in one day as they are connected by lifts at the top. The Akakura area is the main, central ski area in Myoko. Akakura Onsen Resort is divided into three main areas: Yodel, Kumado, and Ginrei. It is connected by ski courses to the neighboring Akakura Kanko Resort, together offering 32 varied runs. Night skiing is available every night. From beginner through to expert, there are endless skiing opportunities. From the resort, you can enjoy stunning panoramic views of Lake Nojiri and, in the distance, the Sea of Japan. As expected from Myoko, famous for its heavy snowfall, there are plenty of chances to find excellent powder snow.
Unlike many Japanese ski towns, Akakura has a lively village at the base of the resort, with many shops, restaurants, bars and hot springs to exlore. Our hotel is perfectly located, centrally in the village. The hotel features its own 100% natural indoor and outdoor hot springs to enjoy soaking in after a day on the mountain.
Looking forward to a fun weekend in Myoko!
The Plan
Reviews
The ski trip was great. It had a few highlights for us: - The hotel was close to the rental shops and Akakura Onsen - The instructor for the beginner ski lesson taught us from the very basics: how to put the skis on, how to fall, etc. That gave us the confidence to actually use the chair lift and tackle beginner-friendly courses: downhill chuo course and elegant course. Shout out to Daff! - No one besides the two of us went for the beginner ski lessons. We were lucky enough to get a private lesson. - The trip leaders always sharing relevant info throughout the trip. - The hotel's onsen was amazing.
A great ski location pick from TSC! A relatively fast drive from Tokyo when movies are playing, this trip is a great choice. The mountain has options for beginners and more advanced people. Beginners can experience the magic of trees and advanced people can hit the park or the race course! Other resorts are fairly accessible with a short bus ride away. The town has many food & apres ski options, too. The vibes of Nozawa, but something different. Hotel was great, a nice onsen and a sauna as well as great meals.
Amazing trip! Snow wasn't the best at this time of year, but the town is fun and the Season Recap Video event at the local bar was an absolute blast. Always fun to hangout with new people and the TSC staff make days in even the rain fun and exciting.
It was a safe and convenient trip. I am always impressed by the careful attention to the staff at Tokyo Snow Club. On the second day, the nearby ski resort was closed due to the weather. However, soon a member of the Tokyo Snow Club looked into another ski resort and shared how to get there and even bus time. The service was also carefully prepared and prompt, recommending delicious restaurants and hot springs to those who remained at the hotel. Tokyo Snow Club is always the best! thank you as always.
I had an amazing weekend in Myoko! The ski resort was really nice and the Onsen as well. Everything was perfectly organized, and the beginner snowboarding lessons were great.
It was a great trip to Myoko! The accommodation prepared us ideally for the day on the slopes with comfy futons and a rich breakfast buffet. The ski resort is divided into two areas, Akakura Kanko and Akakura Onsen, and we were able to use the lifts in both parts with the included ski pass. The nearest lift belonged to the Akakura Onsen area and was only a 5-minute walk from the hotel. There are mainly green and red slopes here. The neighboring Akakura Kanko ski area, on the other hand, has more red and black slopes and can also be reached via several lifts from Akakura Onsen. The two parks are ideal for practicing tricks, mainly jumps. In the evening we had a sukiyaki menu at the hotel which was very tasty. The hotel's onsen area seemed to have been recently renovated and was perfect for relaxing after a long day.
Very nice week end, hotel was very good. Beautiful Onsen and nice meals. Will join next time.
