Otari Hotel Guide - Kamaike Pond hotels in Otari, Japan.

"The team at Elan are amazing - super accommodating and helpful recommendations. The building is stocked with exactly what you need for skiing including a dry room, the guest rooms are big with comfortable big beds, and breakfast is ample/healthy to start the day. We’ve been to the Myoko area before and will 100% return back to Elan for our next trip. "

"Recently refreshed interior, decent breakfast and excellent location for skiing/boarding"

"Saiko was a fantastic host and owner of the property! The room was clean, easily warmed in the cold winter weather and daily simple western breakfast was great. Ly, one of her live in staff, was very useful too for us to use as a local driver. Saiko was very helpful with food recommendations and helping us call various venues or snow gear hire. We were a large group of 7 and had booked up most of the top floor. The vibe in the Inn was very communal downstairs for meals or watching TV!"

"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."

"Fujisan was great. Our car couldn’t make it to the inn. Fuji came down the hill in a snowstorm to pick us up, he called ahead to make sure the local restaurant stayed open for us as well. Breakfasts were excellent, the rooms were large by ryokan standards and very clean. The Hanabun is a vintage gem tucked deep in the Myoko Mountains. "

"Amazing stay. Old hotel but very cozy. Breakfast was average- they had lot of variety though. For the price, it was ok. We were 4 staying in one room and didn't really feel that it was too congested. Lounge is extremely cozy after a day on mountains. They have a dry room which is great use for skiers. Onsen is awesome especially the one outside. We were using it every day. Must try dinner buffet especially because it comes with unlimited drinks, food was ok. But worth the price, i think. Staff are super friendly and accommodating. Location couldn't be better- you can literally ski in ski out- although we did get a bit lost on the slopes trying to find the lifts closer to the hotel. That was mainly because we started skiing from gondola area which is only 5 mins walk away- just because we had to buy the tickets on day 1. Woody's rental shop is also very close by so it became very convenient with rentals and stuff. Just be very careful while driving your car out of the car park in snow as it was very slippery on the end of carpark before you hit the main road."

"Clean, very comfortable, good breakfast buffet, and hospitality of all staff "

"Green Plaza Hakuba is an absolute gem for families looking to hit the slopes—tons of fresh snow and endless fun! We loved the convenience of having delicious meals right in the hotel, from hearty breakfasts to satisfying lunches and dinners. Ski rentals were easy to grab on-site, along with all the gear and extras you could need for a perfect ski adventure. Highly recommend for a hassle-free winter getaway!"

"The breakfast was wonderful. Something for everyone. Also the daily outdoor winter lunch was very good too. One night we had the Chef’s dinner and it really was excellent. No point arriving before your room is ready because there is literally nothing to do, even though the room may be ready, you can’t have it till 3pm. "
