Niigata Myoko City
Stay in Akakura Onsen
The oldest onsen town in the Myoko Kogen Onsen area, with a history of more than 200 years since it first opened, bubbling up at the foot of Mount Myoko, one of Japan’s 100 famous mountains. Its plentiful water combines two spring types, sulfate and bicarbonate, and is known as a bath for beautiful skin. The Myoko area, including the adjacent Akakura Onsen Ski Resort, boasts world-class heavy snowfall and exceptional powder snow (JAPOW), and as an international snow resort it draws visitors from around the world, with a fervent following among skiers from Australia, Europe, and North America.
