Pension FOLKLORE

The property is at a great location— just 5 minutes walking to the lowest lift for Suginohara ski resort. It’s a little far from the train station, but they offer pickup and drop off. But the best part of the pension is the lovely husband and wife couple who run it. They are incredibly kind and helpful—they drove us to the ski resort the first morning and got us discounts on lift tickets and rentals. Each evening we enjoyed a nice bath and had the most amazing home cooked meals! The rooms were simple but clean. Floor mattresses rather than regular tatami for extra padding. Traditional Japanese bean bag pillows but it was fine. This pension represents everything wonderful about rural Japan and if you have a chance to stay here definitely take it!

A lovely traditional family style pension, a warm and donations dining area and located at walking distance of Suginosawa town and loca skil lift

What a wonderful and memorable stay! I absolutely loved the host family. They are so kind and make you feel at home. You can walk to skiing from the property. The town is small but has a simple onsen, a few restaurants, and shuttles to other Myoko resorts. I recommend getting the daily breakfast at the property and the dinner is incredible and better value than anything you will get in town.

The owners were super lovely

We had a lovely stay, our best few nights whilst visiting Japan. The hosts were incredible and went out of their way many times to make sure we were enjoying our time with them. The food was outstanding. We were served many different and excellent Japanese dishes. The small on-site Onsen is perfect after a long day on the slopes. Brilliant location about 5 minutes from Myōkō Suginohara Ski Resort.

The area was beautiful and relaxing — far from noise, surrounded by forest, yet easily accessible by car. We visited during autumn, and the mountains and trees were covered in stunning shades of red, orange, and yellow. The food was delicious, and despite our dietary restrictions, everything was perfectly accommodated. The futon was very comfortable, and we slept wonderfully each night. The ofuro was also prepared for us every evening.
We had an amazing stay. Thank you so much, Kaoru-san and Shinri-san — you made our visit a truly lovely and restful experience.

The proprietors are super friendly and helpful, and the food was wonderful! They went above and beyond to help me when I had trouble at the ski resort.

Cosy cottage with the most hospitable and kind owners! They were really sweet and ready to help with anything and gave us discounts for the ski passes and onsen, which was very nice. Convenient location, easy walk to the ski lift. Tasty breakfast

Excellent Location, Fantastic Food and Superb Snow.

One of the best accommodations we had in our 2 month trip in Japan! The extremely kind host couple looked after us, provides skiing discount tickets and overall provides an awesome, authentic Japanese experience. Walking distance to Suginohara ski resort. In-house Japanese breakfast and dinner is delicious and nutritious, too. Would definitively return when coming back to Myoko. Thanks a lot!
