Tabataya

Great location - only a few minutes walk from the bottom lift at Suginohara. The facilities are basic but effective: the dry room has room for everyone, the bath is nice and hot, the foyer lounge is cozy. Our room was large and clean and had everything we needed. The futons were warm and comfortable. Tabataya is run by a friendly local family. They were patient and kind with my very limited Japanese and helped with discounted lift tickets, food, and information. For anything more complex translation apps worked perfectly. There is dinner and breakfast available on site. The food is delicious Japanese cuisine, including a traditional breakfast. Everything was delicious ( and the portions were very generous, it was much more food than we were used to.

Great facility! Hosts were fantastic, and their hospitality was absolutely off the chart!! We were there during fall, and went for a hike up to the falls. Beautiful little area of Japan. I have been to MyokoKogen a few times for skiing, but this was the first time I've gone during the fall season. Sleeping on futon was great! Other guests were extremely respectful of quiet times. Dinner was AMAZING. Definitely sign up for dinner if you want to enjoy some great regional foods: Nodoguru and Tempura Shiroko were excellent.

We felt right at home in the moment we entered the doors. The food was phenomenal, hosts helpful and welcoming, and the location could not have been better. We hope this hidden gem stays the way it is. Perfect, non-pretentious and authentic.

The family that run the ryokan are so lovely and helpful. The meals were huge and delicious. The futon were very comfortable and the rooms large and clean. Easy walk to Suginohara ski field, and the discount passes you could buy at the lodge.

it was a very familial type of place and really felt at home while I was there. Definitely remote but very comfortable and they’ll help you grab a cab if you have to go into town for whatever reason.
