Hotel a Myōkō

“Hotel Hanabun was a great ryokan experience! It is nestled in the mountains offering a peaceful getaway from touristy/crowded areas. It had the best onsen water, even the locals went there to bathe! The hosts and staff are all friendly and accommodating to your needs. Google translate was necessary to communicate, but everyone is very patient. The food was incredibly delicious, and they use locally sourced, fresh ingredients. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy ryokan. ”

“安かったので期待なし、不安も少しありで行きましたが、すごく良かったです！！ お部屋も水まわりも綺麗で次もまた宿泊したいと思いました！”

“周りが静かで、ゆっくりと過ごせました。”

“また行きたいです！”

“Et hyggelig opphold med supervennlig personale som ga oss topp service. Fantastisk god 5 retters middag serverte de også”

“This deserves much more than an 8.4 rating. We had one of the best ski stays ever at the Arai and we’ve stayed at Chamonix, Aspen, Jackson Hole, and Big Sky. The hospitality and food was amazing with some of the best service possible. The price was so much more reasonable than any other US destination. Thank you Lotte Arai.”

“It was a pleasure to stay here. The staff is kind and helpful. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The Seki ski area is next door and it’s a wonderful, small, family run place.”

“Only the couple managing the property, doing all rooms and check in and dining. So be patient. Even they might not know much English they still provide great service and try to accommodate your needs. Nice restaurants and convenient store around though most close early. Walking distance to the Akakura Obsen Ski area.”

“Was very nice experience.”

“The stay was amazing! Lisa and her team at Xplore were always ready to help. They were a pleasure to interact with. The room was huge, clean, and comfortable. Wifi signal was strong in the room. There was a made-to-order breakfast free every morning, with a choice between a smoked salmon or mushroom plate with eggs (your choice of cooking style). There was also a free laundry machine in the basement (dryer costs 100 yen per use). Large drying room was available for the ski equipment 1 floor...

“Everything was awesome!!!”

“Amazing stay and amazing ”

“Great accommodation and service”

“Very great service. Room was cleaned fresh towels every day. Great area ski slope is a 5 minute walk away 10/10 recommend ”

“とても清潔でスタッフの方々の笑顔がとても印象に残ってます。朝食のスタッフの方に、「ライブラリーから妙高山がとてもきれいなのでコーヒーをお持ちになってどうぞ」と仰って頂き、おもてなしの心を感じました。”

“It’s just beautiful. They have a shuttle to the ski areas that aren’t walkable. Free shuttle from and to the train station. They were very friendly and helped me set up my luggage transportation to the next ski location. ”
