Hotel Alpen Blick in Myoko

Good place for family/leisure skiing, great dinner with hotpot. Cozy house feels like home.

The room is big enough but the bathroom is too small. Heater in room works great but all around hotel is a bit cold. Bad mobile phone and wifi network.

Good experience. Staff so good.
Far from train station. Hetel have free bus to pick up.
Ski in and out.

Soaking after skiing helps you recover your energy
The rooms are clean. Breakfast is average.
Although the hotel doesn't have an elevator, most rooms are on the second floor, which is convenient.

The hotel is located near the ski slopes, which is very convenient. Ski equipment is available for rent at the front. The rooms are large and can accommodate 4 people with the addition of a Japanese-style extra bed. Cleanliness is good, although the bathroom is small and cramped with no external mirror. The staff service is good. Breakfast is adequate and the same every day; some variety would be good.
There is ample parking.

We were at Alpen Blick for a ski trip and had a wonderful stay there. Pros (so many!) Location: Excellent, ski in ski out, 15-minute walk to restaurants and just 10 minutes by car from Myoko Kogen station. Facility: The room was very generous in size and spotless, with top notch toiletries. There were two onsens - one indoor and one outdoor (though the view was obsured by a screen in winter). Amenities: The toiletries in the room were top notch. There was not just a hair dryer but a hair iron. Alpenblick has a brewery onsite and stocks its minibar with beer bottles, for free! This is so uncommon we didn't realise it till day of check out. Ski: We rented the skis, poles, helmets, ski outfit. They were clean and in excellent condition. Service: The service was excellent. Shuttle buses run from 8 am-4pm between the resort and the station and nearby eateries. The star was Katori at the front desk, who really went above and beyond for guests. He was one of the few English-speaking staff at AlpenBlick and went out of his way to serve us, even calling a restaurant in Tokyo to make a reservation for us because we spoke no Japanese. That is hospitality at its finest. Cons: If I had to name a con (and it's not even that big a con), it was that the restaurant where dinner was served was at a different building. It was only a 3-minute walk but on a freezing night with slushy ground from melting snow, I would have preferred dining in the same building. But the hotel offers a shuttle bus for wusses like me. The other thing I felt they could improve on was the food. It was the same spread for three days for the buffet dinner and breakfast. On the final day, we headed out to the small town and grabbed dinner. Also, there is no lunch at the resort in winter but they do have a shuttle bus that will take you to a lunch place and pick you up.

High cost performance, worth going again


Great spot with lots of amenities. The food was nice and had a good selection at the buffet. Loved the onsen at the end of the day. We had a car so it was nice to be able to check out all the nearby resorts. This one at the hotel is a little more geared towards beginners.
