Overview

Kogakuro is a warm, friendly and comfortable ryokan-style hotel. Despite its age, the hotel has held up well and, although dated, the rooms and communal spaces are well kept, clean and incredible inviting.

The hotel is family run and this is obvious - owner Mieko will ensure she and her staff go out of their way to assist you and make your stay as comfortable and relaxing as possible.

Guests have easy access to free Wi-Fi both in the communal spaces and throughout the rooms, and those looking for an extended stay are welcome to make use of the coin laundry provided.

If all of these great facilities weren't enough for you, the rooms and the dining are incredibly affordable and well worth the comfort, tranquillity and hospitality on offer.

Location

The hotel is located right in their heart of town, only a two minute walk from both the ski lifts and the nearby bars, restaurants and onsens.

Kogakuro Onsen

Onsen

If you’re the kind of person who likes their onsens tranquil, hot and surrounded by beauty, this hotel has just the spot for you.

Kogakuro features indoor and outdoor onsens for men and for women, but it’s hard to argue that the outdoor onsens, surrounded by stones and beautiful greenery, aren’t by all means the better option.

However, both of the onsens are naturally heated and mineralized and all are free for guests to use, so you are free to make your own decision when you see for yourself.


Kogakuro Lounge

Lounge

Featuring vaulted ceilings, stunning large windows and incredibly comfortable furniture, the lounge offers all guests a spot to unwind, catch up with your travelling party or get to know other guests.

Often you'll find staff here relaxing, too, and having a chat to them here is a great way to get some insider knowledge about Myoko's best kept secrets.

The lounge also doubles as a bar, serving some basic alcohol as well as coffee and tea, great in the morning, afternoon and evening.


Kogakuro Restaurant

Restaurant

The hotel houses a restaurant, which serves an impeccable dinner and large buffet breakfast daily.

Of course, these dishes are prepared with attention to detail and with care, using fresh and local ingredients, evident through a continually changing menu and the deliciously unforgettable taste of each meal.

The dining room itself is quite spacious, but the décor provides a wonderful relaxing ambience and the natural light in the morning ensure you're nice and awake.

Adjacent to the dining hall is the communal lounge space that all guests rave about in their reviews.
