Momiji Lodges

My husband and I recently enjoyed a holiday in Nagano region of Japan and our absolute favourite place was Omachi, staying at Momiji Lodges. As Australians with no Japanese speaking ability, it would often be time consuming to try to converse in Japanese through Google translate. Having Kim provide us with recommendations on where to go and how to get there was an absolute godsend. We saw plenty of wildlife, beautiful scenery and had an "epic" time (to quote Kim) :-)

Julian and Tomoko have been superb hosts during our short stay here in the mountains. Momiji is an oasis of tranquillity in a stunningly beautiful area of Hakuba.
The accommodation, food, welcome and ambiance are first rate.
Will definately be back again for more.

Kim and Machiko are really friendly and welcoming! Could see the mountains from our room, it was a really local experience. Would come back again and totally recommend others to stay here as well!

You don't need to be a skier or a trekker to come to this place and have an amazing time. Kim and Machiko did everything possible to ensure that we had a fantastic visit - from picking us up at the train station, driving us to the start of the Kurobe Alpine Route, taking us to a temple one evening to catch a live performance, and trips to the supermarket, a great little Japanese restaurant and more. Snow monkeys greeted us every morning from the house (a large troops apparently lives nearby and they pass through the property). The house is a beautiful mountain chalet surrounded by trees, and the room was more than adequate (though you have access to the living area and kitchen/dining room, too). Everything was immaculately clean. The onsen at the end of the day was heavenly.

This place was literally the highlight of our month-long trip through Japan. Next time, we'd make a point of returning just to stay here again. Wonderful hosts - thank you!

What is there to say about Kim and Machiko that hasn't already been said? They are spectacular hosts. I was the only guest at their lodge during my stay and Kim and Machiko provided me with everything I needed and more. I especially enjoyed conversing with Kim on our trips to and from the Hakuba ski resorts each day. Kim and Machiko are the type of people you meet who make traveling unforgettable. I hope to return one day, I made some real friends.

Absolutely great hosts, so generous with their time, they drove us to the trailhead and to restaurants. There is a private onsen, and the futons are very comfy. Lovely stay!

Very homey lodge. Wonderful friendly host. Great place for the ski vacation.

Een prachtige plek midden I het bos. Koele lucht is een verademing na de hitte van de stad. En de bergen in de omgeving zijn een perfecte plek voor leuke uitjes.

親切に対応していただきました。キッチン無いにも関わらず、ニジマス料理を自炊させてもらいました。

気持ちの良い、静かな紅葉を満喫できました
