Joetsu Takada Castle Hotels

"Great room, lots of pillows, for a smoking room it didn’t feel like a smoking room. The front desk staff was excellent. Parking offered before check in time was great. Early morning free breakfast was great. Location super ideal."

"Clean rooms and owners are helpful."

"Yes very nice people, great room and amenities "

"The staff were all excellent!"

"The Address Akakura is THE ADDRESS you want to stay at when visiting Myoko. The hotel itself is located in the centre of where all the action is, you're surrounded by some of the best restaurants in Akakura, so many hidden gems. The Akakura Onsen ski resort is basically across the road, you could throw a rock & hit it nearly. Next door is Myoko Snowsports for all your ski hire & Uchida Ski Sports is across the road who will do overnight board waxing as well as any other servicing needs. The Address really is has everything you need for enjoying an amazing experience in beautiful snowy mountains of Japan. The hotel room we stayed in was perfect for our young family of 5 & the room was well looked after & maintained. The hotel staff here are all absolutely lovely, they're warm & very accommodating. Nothing was ever an issue & they went out of their way to make us feel right at home. The hotel owner is simply fantastic & by the end of our stay we felt more like family than we did just clients, it was actually really sad to say goodbye on our last day. I cannot recommend The Address Akakura more highly & I wish them all the very best. We will be back! Hopefully sooner rather than later...next season maybe! :D"

"Everything was excellent."

"Room was very clean, staff were very courteous and helpful. Onsen facility was very good. Dining options were limited. The cafe, food court, bakery were closed after 4pm, so dinner choices were limited to the expensive restaurants, unless you have transport and willing to travel to Myoko town."

"The room was clean, the bathroom and shower were a bit run down but usable. If you plan to ski or eat at Nozawa Onsen it makes it very difficult. The first shuttle from Togario Onsen to Nozawa is at 9:24am and the last one was o round 4pm. No taxi after 6, so you cannot eat dinner in Nozawa staying here. While it is not the hotels responsibility, it made dining options very limited. The front desk staff was unfriendly, apart from the hosts wife who tired her best to arrange accommodation. "

"Family of 5, booked 2 rooms with ensuites. Everything was great from the amenities to the food and helpful staff. The Ryokan is around a 300-500m walk from the ski lifts however they offer a shuttle service every morning. You can also reserve the shuttle at other times to head out to restaurants etc."
