It takes 44 minutes by train from Nagano to Myoko Plateau Station. In early summer, the whole way is green and pleasing to the eye. I made an appointment for the pick-up at 14:10 by email. The reply was very fast and the popularity was very high. Two minibuses are needed for the pick-up at this point. It takes about 15 minutes to get to the hotel. You will pass the cable car station on the way. The hotel is a red-roofed European-style ski plateau hotel. The reception lobby is retro and low-key, not tall and luxurious. The service is professional and enthusiastic. They are very patient and friendly to the elderly and foreign tourists. I booked a single room. There are very few rooms of this type in the main building. I think there are only two or four rooms. The double rooms in the main building face the view, which are more. The others are deluxe suites in the infinity pool suite building. My room 301 is an end room. The view is not as good as the twin room, and the window is not as big as the twin room, but there are two windows, and the view is also good. The main building is older and the rooms are not big. The single room is only 23 square meters, the toilet is old-fashioned and manually flushed, and the bathroom is a bit higher, but I like it very much after I moved in, like the Imperial Hotel Tokyo, old but not dilapidated and well used, the room has no odor, is very clean, very quiet, warm and comfortable. The lounge has drinks and alcohol. As soon as you taste it, you can feel that the hotel strictly selects quality and has its own high standards. Nothing is fooled. The alcohol and coffee are excellent. Dinner has Kaiseki cuisine, BBQ and Shabu-shabu. Kaiseki cuisine is the default. The Kaiseki cuisine I had was very good. Breakfast is only buffet and of excellent quality. The suite building is very new with a popular infinity pool and a large bath. The infinity pool has a magnificent view. The large bath is very good and the outdoor area is not large. The service and quality of the hotel are impressive. Fortunately, there is a moderately priced single-person one-night stay and two meals. One day of sleep is too little, so I ordered a two-night stay in September, so that I can take the cable car up the mountain to see and experience the spa that won the international gold award. For meals, there are three restaurants of good quality, and there are also simple meals for lunch. I really want to experience the Highland Empire but I can't book it. It's great here. The disadvantage is that there is no wireless network in 301. I stayed in the Seasons Garden of Kusatsu Onsen, a hotel of the Kyoritsu Group, before. It can't be compared with this place. This is a truly excellent Japanese service hotel with excellent traditions. It strives for excellence in quality. Seasons Garden is a pure garbage hotel.
