We have stayed at Resort Project 3 times.  Most recently in December 2019/January 2020, we stayed again with our teenage boys, 18 and 16.  As always, everything about our stay here was more than perfect.  Hiroe and Yoichiro are the penultimate hosts.  From the moment you walk in the door to the day you depart, they treat you as family.  With our boys they went out of their way to make sure they were satisfied, at breakfast (note, peanut butter and nuttela with lots of bread options!), to special treats during lunch when we were not skiing, to amazing dinners at their place.   Other restaurants are in walking distance and they will shuttle you to places in the main village.  But really, all you need is the area around Resort Project.  Ahhhhhhh . . .

The BEST place to stay in Myoko

Your hosts, Soichiro and Hiroe are two of the most beautiful people you will ever meet.

My wife wanted something different from Hakuba, a change from the pace and crowds (although to put things into perspective crowds and queues in Hakuba are nothing compared with Canada, Australia), we had now skied Hakuba twice and her research led her to Myoko Kogen and ultimately to this place.

In Hakuba, we stayed in Western accommodation (which we thoroughly enjoyed), this time we were going for more traditional Japanese style with tatami mats and futons. 

In a previous year we had stayed in a Japanese room in Hakuba, what it lacked was comfortable seating and space. 

Well, this accommodation solves that, our room was huge with a traditional low table and floor seating on the tatami mats. But also on a hardwood floored area was a small western table and two chairs. The room had its own TV, DVD player, small fridge and basin. So you could relax with a cuppa watching the Winter Olympics or a DVD (Hiroe lent us two boxes of DVDs). Speaking of large, the drying room is one of the largest I have seen.

They have their own onsen, which is also where we needed to shower, there are two larger rooms with showers if you prefer. It became quite a welcoming feature at the end of the day to lower oneself into the steaming hot onsen (after bathing of course). 

Breakfast is a mix of traditional with some catering towards guests from other nations, including Aussies (check out what’s in one of the photos). We didn’t partake in the in-house dinners until quite late in our stay, electing instead to walk into town (~15-20 minutes although they will drive you we wanted to walk) for dinner. After having had our first dinner there we realised that we should have probably eaten in-house more, the meals are substantial. Check with them in the morning what is on the menu for that day and let them know if you want to have the dinner that night.

The village is quite small, only three restaurants (we only tried two of them not really fans of Chinese food so didn’t try third), although I am sure they would willingly drive you into the more populated town area where there is a greater choice of dining we weren’t bothered.

So coming back to the reason we would love to come back and why you would want to come here, the owners and their service.

Super friendly, good enough English that we could communicate with each other everything we needed to, and ever so helpful and generous.

Starting with our collection from the bus-stop, a smiling Soichiro rolled up in their Lexus a few minutes after the confirmed collection time. Soichiro would be who mainly took us to the ski resorts each day, we fortunate to be able to be taken at almost any time and collected almost any time of our choice.

Greeted at accommodation by Hiroe (his wife) who showed us our boots cupboard, locker in the drying room, breakfast/dining table card and of course our room. 

Each guest room is uniquely identified by a Kanji script and this is carried on through the cupboard, locker and table card. Makes it all quite neat and easy.

Hiroe kindly helped us set up our bedding was a constant source of pleasant surprises. 

For example, a knock at the door and there she was with a bag of fruit and then another day with more fruit. 

One of my wife’s most pleasant surprises was a day I went skiing on my own and she stayed in to rest her legs. Around midday, there was a knock at the door and there was Hiroe with a bowl of curry and rice for my wife for lunch. She repeated the experience a couple of days later when we both stayed in because of the bad weather. 

Hiroe also arranged to get our ski bags freighted back to Narita airport, saving us the hassle of having to drag them around trains and Tokyo (as we had three nights in Tokyo at the end of our trip). I had looked into this myself but had been deterred by the size of our bags (mine is almost 2 metres and was 28 kilos), she assured me this would be no problem and collection was easy at the airport a few hours before our flight.

So if you have decided to ski in the Myoko Kogen area seriously consider staying here. We would happily come back.

The main reason why we would love to come back

Three of us ended up staying at Resort Project as much of the other accommodation in Myoko was full. It turned it to be a great decision and our only very traditional stay of the holiday. Morning breakfast was great and exactly what you needed before skiing, while the on site onsen was exactly what you needed afterwards. The place is very close to ski fields also. Perfect stay and lovely hosts!
