Отель AKANE Hostel あかね天然温泉旅館, Юзава, Япония

Great location for our snowboarding trip, and nice, simple accommodations for a great price.

The location is great if you wanna hit to the lifts early for Kagura Snow Resorts. It's about <10mins walking distance and the host also helped with driving us there every morning at 8am.

The staff are all super nice to answer questions about the resort and provide some tips to explore the mountain. Also they offer Echigo Yuzawa Station pick up service and drive us to the town to get some food after the long ski day at certain times. It definitely helps the life a lot due to the limited schedule for the public transportation in this town.

Also having the snowboard storage room and boots dryer room provided which worth giving the other plus sign.

This is the second time we came over. The place was very clean and was hosted by a very nice couple!!! It’s only a walkable distance to Mt Mitsumata and you would definitely enjoy the natural onsen after the hard works on the snowy mountain!

We took photos, share food, and made new friends there, I’m sure you would love it and go back again if you ever stay for once.

It was really cozy and felt like an authentic Japanese room! It was warm and comfortable and easy to get around. What was even better was that the hosts helped us figure out where to catch our bus to Tokyo and even drove us to the bus stop bc we didnt have a car! over all amazing people,, super friendly and hospitable, they even cooked brekkie for us in a traditional Japanese way, and it was really good! so yeah, me and my sister will definitely be back again, especially since its shy of 5min from Kagura ski resort, one of the best, if not the best, ski resorts in Yuzawa and even all of Japan for powder snow.

The host was so nice and helped us with any queries that we had. The rooms nice and the beds quite comfortable.
