Ryokans in Hachimantai

Outdoor onsen that could be used privately.

Very good value for money. Great food and plenty of it. You could walk to the ski field but no need to- there is a hotel shuttle you can arrange daily to take you and pick you up at day’s end (reliable and punctual). You can use the guests onsen or a private one - there is one for two people and another that can accommodate four people. There family rooms (combination Japanese and Western style) were modern, spacious and comfortable.

Breakfast is excellent: Japanese and ample quantities. Small selection of western food available. Dinners are sensational; a rotation between Sukiyaki, Bbq and Shabu Shabu. All delicious in their own way. Accomodation is 3 star and comfortable enough. There are private and public onsens - the public ones are, perhaps, slightly small. Location to Appi Kogen is perfect - a two minute drive at most, even in foul weather. The tariffs are very reasonable, in stark contrast to 1.3km up the hill, on snow.

Location is good, 5 mins drive from the ski resort. Onsen is nice. Free drinks and supper available.

Beautiful foyer area, well maintained property, excellent staff and being able to use the private outdoor onsen was a huge plus. It was lovely to have a nice view from the Japanese style room as well.
