We had a fantastic time staying at Kimi & Miyu's chalet in January. The chalet was very spacious, with lots of rooms, a huge kitchen, and was very family-friendly overall. Kimi and Miyu were excellent hosts and drove us up the mountain each morning - which actually was quite walkable, but was a big help, especially with young kids! Kimi also took us on a day trip to the snow monkeys and and also for some backcountry skiing. It was an amazing holiday and we can't wait to go back!

Absolutely loved our stay at japow house1. Miyu and Kimi are wonderful hosts. The double room was bigger than expected and breakfast was super tasty! Stopped by japow house2 for burgers in the evening and they were some of the best we've ever had!House is a 10 minute walk to the lifts but kimi drove us up there in the mornings so it wasn't an issue :)

Loved our stay at the Japowhouse. It’s setup with serious snow riders in mind. Loved the stretching area with a padded and heated mat. It made the morning warm up and evening stretch ideal. There is also a large tub in the men’s shower room that we filled with cold water for an ice bath in the evening. Walking distance to town for meals. I highly recommend their restaurant “No Name”. Some great “American” food. Kimi and Miyu were wonderful hosts and made sure we had everything we needed. Food reservations, mtn recommendations, and even a backcountry guided tour. Not an easy walk to the ski areas but really close for driving. Highly recommend this place.

Just got back from an amazing stay with a group of ten guys at the Japow house 1. We rented the whole place for about a week and had a blast! The beds were really comfortable and the living quarters were really spacious. We especially love the bar area where we could hang out after skiing and poor our own draft beers! Kimi and his wife were awesome hosts, always available to help us with any questions, from making reservations to taking us up and skiing some turns with us. Highly recommend the Japow House, and I plan on coming back soon.

Japow House checks all the boxes to ensure you have the perfect ski trip. Kimi is fantastic to guide your group around to get the best conditions, make recommendations on food and then pour your favorite drink after skiing. Our group of 10 guys had an amazing experience.

Japow House 2.0 was absolutely amazing. Room was very reasonably priced for how modern and comfortable everything was. Located right at the bottom of the major chair lift in Akakura onsen, basically ski in ski out. Bathrooms were shared, but I never waited for anything and the showers are huge and very nice. Kimi was amazing, I walking in off the street in the middle of January looking for a room and he gave me a tour of all the facilities and showed me the rooms. Breakfast was amazing and the bar was also amazing. Some of the kindest staff I have ever met. Can’t thank Kimi enough for his Hospitality and I definitely will be coming back next season.
