Hotels near Michi-no-Eki Pokapoka Land Miasa, Omachi

The breakfast buffet is delicious, there are two public hot springs, one private bath, private bath must be reserved in advance, reservation is half price in the morning, it is very cheap, only a few hundred yen, there are shuttle buses to jr or bus stations, Daily scheduled pickup and drop off at the ski resort

This is more traditional, we stayed in a room with Japanese tatami. It feels like Adai's XDD light source is not very sufficient. The only lamp is the kind of chandelier that pulls off, and after closing the lamp, there will be a little bit of debris (?) But there is a souvenir in the room that provides test food, The shopping for tourists is very helpful The bathhouse is also very good. The girls have many kinds of toiletries and maintenance products to choose from. There are two or three types of makeup remover oil, lotion, lotion, etc. It is not very close to the bathhouse in the open-air hot spring women's soup. A little troublesome, everyone chose to simply soak in the room and then wash back and sleep. In addition to the peace room is a bit old. I am not used to living + There is a little deficiency in the small place (no water heater) The service attitude of the prince Lishan is very good. As soon as the tour bus goes in, it salutes us and waves away. Can't see us^^ And the location is close to the mountain, the climate is very cool, the impression is still very good

Oribana onsen hotel is very close to Ogisawa station which is my starting point for the Tateyama Alpine route. We stayed at Oribana for 2 nights, before and after finishing the Tateyama route. Oribana is not located inside the Omachi onsen area. My first impression after arriving at the hotel is not very good since the staff did not come out to help with the luggage from the parking lot. Bu once inside the hotel the standard Japanese service came back finally. Guests have to take off the shoes at the reception and wear the socks throughout the hotel. The staff even cleaned the luggage before bringing them to my room. In the lobby there is music playing the same song in a loop. The staff explained the hotel details in lobby, then led us to our room. The hotel has a not very impressive garden, but with good view of the mountain. I picked a western style room. It is not a very spacious room, may be 10 mats. The room is equipped with both warm air and cool air conditioner. The onsen is not big but with many patrons. The outdoor bath is facing the wild countryside with occasional traffic passing through. The dinner on first night is a little surprise to me. With only Jpy10,800 per person per night, the dinner is really worth more than the price paid for. Every dish is delicious, the local pork, the yuba, the shrimp cake, the grill salted fish, the baked apple, the veggie tempura, all are outstanding. And we have our private dinning room in the restaurant. Unfortunately there is no souvenir shop in the hotel. Again the breakfast is served in the private room, and free coffee is available in the coffee room in the morning. Another surprise is that there are free fresh milk available in the morning near the onsen. The second night dinner we ordered different menu and again scored high.

Very near the train station and bus stop to catch the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine ( TKA) route bus. Sleeping arrangement is Japanese tatami style. so too is the shared bathroom. There is also a shared toilet. Toiletries are provided. And so too is the Japanese styled pajamas. There is a shared kitchen where there is a fridge, microwave oven, two electric jugs, thermos flask, Pot for making Chinese tea, Chinese tea drinking cups. Not a bad place to stay if one wants to start the TKA route from Shino Omachi or to rest for the night after ending he TKA route. Before embarking on the TKA route, one should take the transportation time schedule from the information counter at the lounge. Then proceeded to read n detail at the sofa in the lounge. One also can request for the luggage delivery process for the TKA route free m the he front desk.

The hotel is located on the only way to Tateyama Kurobe Ogizawa Station. It takes about 15 minutes to drive to Ogizawa Station. It is very convenient (for self-driving friends). There are only three staff at the hotel front desk. If there are many people, you may have to wait. There is a children's game room in terms of facilities. Indoor swimming pools, hot springs, etc., as well as meals. Since the hotel is far away from the urban area and hot spring street, it is better to have one and two meals. The hotel mainly has buffets but there are fewer choices. Generally speaking, they are acceptable but more convenient for self-driving tours.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Sierra Resort, Hakuba when we visited in February. The hotel itself is beautiful, well maintained and offers a lot to its visitors. The hotel is set outside of the main town in it's own little secluded area. This can be a plus and minus - Positive because the resort is so beautiful and away from the hustle and bustle, negative as it can at times be difficult to access transport to and from town (restaurants, bars, ski fields, etc). The hotel offers a shuttle bus in the evenings to take you into town, although you need to book in there and back, which can be restrictive of your time at dinner, etc as you have to decide on a return time. The shuttle bus doesn't stop near all restaurants, so you could be walking in the dark/cold to your reservation and then waiting in the cold for the return bus. Keep this in mind - a lot of the time we found it more convenient to order a taxi, although these can be hard to come by and expensive! The Ski shuttle bus picks up/drops off at the hotel each day. Buses are busy and there are no racks for ski/board gear - you need to carry everything onto the bus with you, which can be very squishy as the buses get quite full. We found Tsugaike to be the closest and most convenient ski field to the hotel. The staff at the hotel were always very friendly and helpful. Language barriers existed, although staff would always ensure they had assisted you by the end of the conversation, you just have to allow a little more time in your schedule to organise and make your plans. This also allowed us time to learn some simple Japanese which assisted us when communicating with the staff. Sierra Hotel offers complimentary food at different times throughout the day, served in the main lobby area - curries, rice, soup, etc. This is so convenient when you get back from the ski fields and just want a small bite to eat before dinner. Hotel also offers complimentary wine, tea and ice creams. Breakfast - great selection of Japanese and Western food. We thoroughly enjoyed breakfast each morning. There were always new things to try each day - eg: different soups (pumpkin, corn), also beautiful views outside. Dinner - we had dinner at the hotel one night from the A La Carte menu. Also thoroughly enjoyed our meals (Pasta, calamari, soup, fries, etc). Rooms were big, very comfortable and warm with special heating. Beautiful views of the snow and areas around the hotel. Our favourite part of the resort was the beautiful public and private onsens made up of pure mineral water. The private onsens need to be booked in ahead of time which the hotel allows each morning - you will need to be quick to make a booking. We would definitely recommend Hotel Sierra Resort and would stay here again. Thank you to the staff for an enjoyable stay! :)

I came on the Alpine Route just after opening to see the snowy Otani. Because I was in Takayama, I stayed two nights at Mikurigaike Onsen with a bed because I was worried about the weather. The result was sunny, cloudy and then stormy, snow and then rain and cloudy. The weather is changeable. It was a time when the alpine route was just opened, so I prepared with winter mountain equipment by referring to the clothes and shoes on the alpine route web page. On the second day, the weather was expected to be stormy, so I went out and stayed in the hot spring. I passed the time in the hot springs during the day. It was the first time I stayed at a mountain villa since high school, when I spent five or six nights in total. I think the times have changed and it has become more sophisticated. There is also freshly ground coffee, which is perfect. It was a bed-type shared room, but the privacy was separated by a curtain and I think it was perfect. I think that I was able to stay with confidence and peace of mind. I made a reservation on the web page. There was a pair of ptarmigans in the nearby Pumice forest, and many people surrounded the ptarmigans and were absorbed in taking pictures. I was surprised and delighted that an elderly person like myself with a chronic illness could stay in a high mountain like Tateyama. Also, I would like to stay at the time of autumn leaves and late autumn when the snow is covered. The scenery I see is another dimension, and I want to meet Raicho again.

The hotel is located in the middle of the mountain, the view is good, but you have to take a transportation car to arrive. I booked breakfast and dinner, the meal was good, especially the dinner, the drink was all you could drink, which is very few hotels can do.
