The family and staff of this hotel provided excellent, gracious service on all levels. The food and onsen were wonderful. Rooms were clean, quiet and comfortable. The best part was how helpful the family and staff were with little and big requests. They accommodated us in a way your favorite aunt or uncle would...answering questions. bringing us extra tea or coffee, dropping us off and picking us up in comfortable vehicles with a calm and happy demeanor. Also, the daily extras (tea, treats, water, toothbrushes) were so appreciated. I would come back here in a heartbeat.

I wish all stays away from home were this welcoming and special...

The family-run Okayamakan manages to offer just the right blend of traditional Japanese hospitality with a modern twist of comfort and utility.  

The room we stayed in was simple yet stylish which consisted of a sleeping area made up of two semi-double mattresses (rather than the traditional futon mats) that when put together comfortably accommodated our family of four (we were travelling with our 3 and 1 year old children); a living area with a kotatsu, wall mounted tv and wardrobes; and a bathroom / entrance area (sectioned off from the living / sleeping area by a sliding door) which contained an ensuite shower booth, toilet, a powered room type set-up and an entrance. 

The accommodation offers both in-door and outdoor bathing options, however we only utilised the public indoor bath during our stay which was brilliant after a day on the slopes. The women's bathing area is considerately sectioned by powder room (where there is a sitting area to take your makeup off, dry your hair etc.); a change area and the bathing area. There are also little baby bath chairs you can take in to the bathing area, but the bath itself is quite hot so I wouldn't recommend it for little ones unless they are used to that type of heat (which obviously Japanese children are). For our part, we did try once to take our eldest to the public bath but she was so terrified that we stuck to the shower booth in our room for the kids, which they loved. 

The food offered in Okayamakan (breakfast and dinner was inclusive as seems to be the norm in traditional Japanese ryokans) was absolutely divine and worth a trip out even if you had no  interest in the snow. The ingredients were fresh and local to the region and the numerous dishes we were served each night were copious, varied and delicious. We had so much food at dinner and breaksfast that we did not need to have lunch even with a full day snowboarding. 

The accommodation itself is not in the centre of the village and is about a 10 minute walk up a sloping street to the closest ski lift, but the young husband of the ryokan dropped us off each morning. He also picked us up and dropped us back to the Myoko Kogen station at the start and end of or stay, which was about 10 minutes drive away. All complimentary. The family owners of the accommodation and their staff speak almost no English and aside from a few hiccups it was not a problem at all - but rather just added to experience.

We loved our stay here, we still dream about the food and hope to be back in the future! 

Style, Comfort and oh so much Delicious Food

We stayed here for 7 nights in March 2015 and I have been reluctant to review because I didn't want to share.  We have been skiing in Japan for a number of years and this was our first trip to Myoko Kogen.  The Ryokan Okayama was amazing - the rooms, the service, the food all outstanding.  We booked our last trip through an online booking engine - however the Ryokan no longer seems to be bookable online except through a couple of special ski travel agents.  We ate at the Ryokan for two nights and the food was some of the most amazing Japanese food that I have ever eaten.  The family do not speak a lot of English - nor we a lot of Japanese - but we made it work.  The onsite onsens were a treat - just what you need after a hard days skiing.

We felt that we were treated as part of the family - we were there at the end of their season - early March and they provided us with transfer to any of the resorts that we wanted to ski at.   For a couple of nights we were actually the only guests staying - so had the choice of onsens - tried the mens, the ladies plus the private one.

It's a good solid 15-20 minute to reach some restaurants/bars - uphill walk into Akakura Onsen and about 5-10 minutes uphill to  Akakura Kanko.  In saying this - I understand that in peak season they operate a bus that does the evening run to both Akakura Onsen and also Myoko Kogen.

We are returning to Myoko in January this year but unfortunately the Okayama was fully booked - we will make the effort to visit and obtain an email address so that we can book again directly with them.

Amazing - should have got their email address

We stayed here for five nights during a recent ski trip in Myoko. Overall, it was an excellent ryokan and the staff were wonderful. We stayed in two types of rooms -- without ensuite shower for three nights and with ensuite shower for two nights. Both rooms were spacious, immaculate, and very comfortable. Breakfast each day was excellent and filling, with a choice between western or Japanese. We dined in for dinner one night were treated to a lavish meal in a private room. We left for Tokyo for one night during the weekend before returning for the second half of our stay. We were able to leave our bags with no hassle and our new room was ready and waiting when we returned. There's also a large room downstairs where we stored our ski equipment. Cannot say enough good things about how nice everyone is here. It feels like you're staying at someone's house, not a hotel. Highly recommend staying here and would love to return someday.

Excellent Stay in Myoko

We stayed at Okayamakan for 3 nights and it was a wonderful stay.

The Ryokan, own by a local family, has been recently renovated and it shows.

The rooms are spacious, well appointed, warm and perfectly decorated,

The hotel Private and public onsen are available to the guests while 2 rooms have en suite shower.
We had a room with shower, but I ended up using the public onsen all the time!

The staff was extremely nice and attentive. Wonderful people.

Breakfast was great.
We had a choice between western and japanese and at what time to be served.

We also had dinner in the hotel one of the nights.
We had to book it 24 hours in advance, since first you agree with the staff on the budget of the dinner and the next day a menu of mains is presented to choose from.

We had the pleasure of having dinner in a private room with our friends and the entire evening felt special and a memorable night.

The hotel is not exactly close to the center of the village, but it's a nice walk and the hotel provides a shuttle service.
It is though very close to the ski resort.

This was a vacation that we will never forget, thanks as well to the wonderful time we had at this Ryokan.
