Fully Equipped Ski Resort Hotel with Hot Spring in Akakura, Myoko
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a fully operational 22-guestroom hotel and hot spring business in the heart of Akakura Onsen, one of Japan's oldest and most famous ski resorts. The property is located just 200 meters from the ski lifts of Akakura Onsen and Akakura Kanko resorts, offering immediate access to world-class slopes. It is also within a short walking distance to the shops and restaurants of Akakura Village's main street, yet is set back enough to provide a peaceful retreat from the bustling resort center. The hotel enjoys outstanding views of Mount Myoko.
The main hotel building is a concrete and steel structure built in 1993 and is in excellent condition. It features 24 ensuite guest rooms, with both indoor and outdoor male and female hot spring baths fed by authentic Akakura onsen water, with the hot spring rights included. The basement and lobby are equipped with central heating, while each guest room has its own separate air conditioner/heater unit. The property sits on a substantial 5,106 square meter plot, with the possibility to subdivide a portion of the land.
The building is in excellent shape and comes fully furnished. The 22 guest rooms are split across the 2nd and 3rd floors, comprising 2 family-sized rooms and 20 twin/double rooms, 16 of which have connecting doors to create potential suites. The main floor houses a very large dining area, a lounge area, and a café/bar, alongside the front desk reception and a small souvenir shop. The hotel also includes a fully functioning kitchen, ample staff quarters, and a basement with a ski equipment drying room, significant storage, and potential for additional staff accommodation. The furnishings include custom-made teak furniture from Java, 32-inch TVs, internet, and Apple TVs.
A comprehensive renovation was completed in 2024, which included new carpet, new wallpaper in all rooms and common areas, new flooring in the basement, new unit baths and toilets, new windows, a new boiler, new asphalt in the car park, and full landscaping of the entire property.
