Hotel Services
Hotel Taiko provides free in-room Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi connection on public areas, drinks vending machines, lockers and barbecue facilities. Additional amenities include a snack bar/deli, a relaxation salon "Yumeyuzu", a large banquet hall "Hoden" that fits 220 tatami mats, and a game corner. For winter parking, Area1 requires 4WD studless tires and chains due to the steep slope; 2WD cars should use Parking lot Area2.
“What stands out is this property's dedication to blending traditional Japanese hospitality with modern comforts, alongside its enviable location near the Akakura Onsen Ski Area and natural attractions; rooms offer both Western and Japanese décor, and on-site onsen are known as one of the best. I especially like that ski equipment rentals are available directly in the hotel, adding to the convenience for ski enthusiasts, and that returning to live music each evening creates a relaxed après-ski atmosphere. A solid choice for families and ski groups.”
