Located right in front of Hoshino Resorts Nekoma Mountain, one of Japan's largest ski resorts, Bandaisan Onsen Hotel by Hoshino Resorts is known for its skier and snowboarder-first initiatives, such as "13:00 check-in," "one night free for stays of two nights or more," and "exclusive early morning slope rentals."
This season, they have further enhanced their services, including a 14:00 check-out that allows for a maximum stay of 22 hours, free first rides, and a wax bar—all services that are sure to please skiers and snowboarders.
Feature 1: Check-out time for all rooms is 2:00 PM! Maximum stay of 22 hours
In winter, check-out for all rooms is at 2 p.m., so even on the final day, you can enjoy plenty of skiing from morning until just before noon. The large public bath, Shurei-no-Yu, also has extended opening hours, so you can relax in the hot springs after skiing, have lunch, and pack up your belongings without rushing before checking out
Feature 2: First rides are free for guests staying at the hotel
First Ride allows you to enjoy the luxury of skiing down the slopes first thing in the morning, 15 minutes before the regular lifts start operating. The usual fee of 1,500 yen is free for overnight guests. Get up a little earlier and enjoy the beautiful, freshly groomed slopes
Feature 3: Charge up your energy in the morning with Aizu's local dish, "Wappameshi"!
The "Aizu Wappa Meshi Breakfast" will be available again this year, allowing you to get a solid energy boost in the morning. Freshly steamed rice served in a bento box can be topped with a variety of prepared ingredients to create a bowl that suits your taste. You can also choose from the Western-style "American Breakfast" to suit your mood
You can also exchange your breakfast voucher for a lunch voucher to suit your stay. We recommend starting your day early with a first ride and enjoying an early lunch when the restaurant on the slopes opens. Choose from classic dishes like pork cutlet rice bowl with sauce, curry rice, and ramen
Feature 4: "Hangout" is a gathering place where you can talk with friends about the day's skiing
Hangout is a community space where you can relax with a drink and snacks, and there is also a WAX Bar where you can get your board waxed for free. You can get ready for the next day while enjoying a chat with friends
Feature 5: The first ever "Aizu Megu Road" market where you can discover the deep charms of Aizu!
At the Aizu Meguru Road market, which invites famous local Aizu shops, you can enjoy products and experiences unique to Aizu. Another great thing about the market is that after skiing, you can casually drop by, as it is packed with the charms of the region
availableUnique food culture experience plans also
For stays of two nights or more, a special discount is offered for consecutive nights, and a plan has been introduced that allows you to enjoy not only skiing but also meals and cultural experiences.
Unique plans with a rich local flavor are available, such as "Aizu Izakaya GO!", a dinner plan with transportation that lets you experience the izakaya culture of Aizu-Wakamatsu, a famous sake-producing region, and "Kitakata Ramen GO!", which lets you experience the "morning ramen" culture in the home of Kitakata ramen, one of Japan's three great ramen varieties.
Feature 7: Many perks for the whole family to enjoy!
There is also a comprehensive support system in place to ensure that the whole family can enjoy a snow trip. Children up to elementary school age can rent snowwear and play equipment, and use the kids' area, which is equipped with a snow escalator, free of charge. They can also ride the beginner's lift and take basic lessons for free. What's more, even in bad weather, there is an indoor heated pool and a variety of activities available, so you can enjoy your stay comfortably and without getting bored
