Frequently Asked Questions

Where do we purchase ski lift tickets?

We sell lift tickets, as well as the special Big 4 lift tickets good for all four of the major resorts on Mt. Myoko. Tickets are available at the entry to the nearby Akakura Onsen Ski Area (near the hotel) and Akakura Kanko Ski Area (accessible by free local shuttle buses), as well as both Ikenotaira  and Suginohara ski areas, which can be reached by the area shuttle bus leaving from the Akakura Bus stop (access information available at the front desk).
 

Do you have rental ski, snowboards and skiwear?

Unfortunately we do not, but if we can introduce to you one of several local shops which is close to our hotel, as we have discount tickets available for you. If you are interested in buying the latest gear upon your arrival in Japan, we suggest purchasing gear in Ochanomizu in Tokyo, or more locally in Nagano city, depending on the type of equipment you are looking for. Please ask us in advance or upon your arrival for more information.

We want to book English-language ski lessons. Are there local schools available?

The two officially designated schools providing English-language lessons are the Yodel Ski School at the nearby Akakura Onsen Ski Area for regular Alpine lessons, and the Myoko Snowsports at the Akakura Onsen/Akakura Kanko Ski Area. Please visit their web site or contact them directly for more information.
