Thank you for taking a look at our accommodation. Myoko is a beautiful area blessed with nature throughout the year. In summer, the weather is relatively cool, and you can enjoy various activities at the Sea of Japan and Lake Nojiri. In winter, it becomes a heavy snowfall area — sometimes receiving up to one meter of snow overnight! There are over 10 ski resorts within a 40-minute drive from our place. As we have two children, we warmly welcome families and guests traveling with kids. With experience working at resort hotels, as ski instructors, and in international ski schools, we are happy to share local tips or help with any information about ski resorts or the area. We hope you can relax and enjoy your stay, and we would be delighted to help make your time here a memorable one.
