Fantastic place! Great accommodations, great staff. The food was fantastic and it was a super comfy place. Super close to the lift up, quick 1-2 minute walk to it and was practically ski to door on the way back in. Loved it!

Great location. 1 minute walk to the Suginosawa Resort chair lifts. Next door to the onson and a 10 minute drive to the waterfall. Very big bedroom, comfortable king size bed, the view from the bedroom looking to the mountains is amazing, great facilities in the lodge, very warm and cosy. The owners are extremely accommodating and catered to all of our needs. Comfortable bar and dining area. The food was great. Craft beers and lovely wines.

Ben and Haruka were welcoming and amazing hosts as they helped me and my gf with getting around the town and getting us rental skis. The location is 2min away from the nearest lift, and their food was delicious too! Would definitely recommend to our friends👍

Really lovely Australian and Japanese couple running the lodge. The communal space where we hung out was really homey and fun. It was really easy to relax and hang out with the hosts as well as other guests. The room was really nice and clean. GREAT access to the Ski Resort, walkable 5 minute distance. Theres a bath house that you can walk to only 30 seconds away. Dinner is super affordable and the food they make is really good. The nights we went they had pulled pork sandwich, green curry, mozzarella balls, tacos, fries, pizza. Breakfast was really good too, they had a variety of things like cereal, oatmeal, berries, jams, toast, Panini press to make grilled cheese sandwiches.

Ben and Ruka
Gozan lodge is a 2 min walk from the lifts of Myoko Suginohara and next door to Naena Onsen. The busy tourist areas of Akakura are a short bus or taxi away. Guests and Apre's enthusiasts can relax at our fully licensed Japanese craft beer bar which is made fo a communal atmosphere. Austrian Alpen Hut style breakfast are included as standard for guests.
Owners Ben and Ruka first moved to Shinanomachi (next to Myoko) in 2015. To pay the bills, they started off with a small airbnb style investment near lake Nojiri while ben worked as a guide. In summer they use their intimate knowledge of the area to assist foreign investors find, purchase, renovate and manage lodges in the Myoko and Madarao area. When the stars aligned, Gozan Lodge was purchased and renovated from an old "minshuku" style pension to emulate the simplicity and quality of serviced alpen huts which they visited in their travels of Austria, Switzerland and Slovenia. The downstairs bar area has been built using locally milled "sugi" trees and we have re-utilised many features of the building to retain it's originally charm. We want our place to be comfrotable, social and affordable. We focus on local food + drink + artists and most importantly we want our guests to leverage our experience of the many resorts and backcountry options to make the most of their time in the mountains.
Suginohara ski resort has the longest run, the highest lifts and best backcountry terrain on the mountain. Suginosawa is a sleepy town which is better suited for people who want to be away from the loud and busy streets of akakura filled filled with more party goers than serious mountain enthusiasts.
