Pension Milepost

The hosts were incredibly helpful, friendly, and professional. The house is very well run. The location is excellent, being close enough to Akakura Onsen to walk, but far enough for it to be peaceful and quiet at night. We absolutely loved the location. We also loved having a private onsen. The hosts offer excellent value services such as transfers and meals. For us the meals were the greatest highlight. Incredibly well prepared food with fresh and quality ingredients resulted in some of the best Japanese food we have ever tasted. The taste was worth well above what we payed and we had nothing this good in any of the restaurants we visited - highly underrated.

There was nothing.

The family was very lovely and always wanted to help! They drove us up to the ski resorts every day we wanted to go and then were happy to give us lifts for 1000yen. Plus, they have an adorable little dog called Mai! Thank you guys! I have recommended you to all our friends!

Nothing, it was great!

Hosts were very accommodating. Rooms were simple but were fine when you are skiing all day.

Breakfast and dinner were outstanding and the chef was receptive to our dietary restrictions (no pork). Definitely worth enjoying, regardless of the fact that there is nothing within reasonable walking distance of the property. It snowed 3 feet overnight and the owners were up early ensuring the parking lot and roadway were clear of all snow so we could still make the first lift. They even helped us clean our car off. A shuttle service to the slopes (for a fee) is also available. Bathrooms were clean and comfortable. Staff was really nice. Drying room is big enough for everyone. Very easy to get to/from the slopes if you have your own car or are using their shuttle service. Small discount on lift tickets if you ask. Massage chair!

It wasn’t obvious before we arrived that only cash was accepted as payment and that you must pay at check in. If there is a lot of snow/ice, I would not recommend planning to walk to/from this property into the main town area due to how hilly the terrain is. If there is a lot of snow in the forecast, I would not recommend driving to this property without snow tires or chains since the single road to get to the hotel can become quite treacherous. Found a few stink bugs walking around the room.
