Scout tips
- The Japanese tatami rooms are bigger than the western twin rooms
- Family onsen can be booked for private use
- Some rooms don’t have much of a view
- Parts of the hotel can feel run-down. Akakura Central is an authentic Japanese experience which may pose challenges to some travellers. Read our story about Staying in a Japanese hotel.
SCOUT REVIEW
Akakura Central Hotel is a great value hotel right on the edge of the ski slopes at Myoko Kogen. In fact, when snow allows it, you can practically ski right to the door at the end of the day. Central Hotel is also just a few minutes walk down the hill to Akakura Kanko village’s main street where you will find plenty of bars and restaurants.
Like many of the hotels in Myoko Kogen, Central Hotel looks quite run down from the outside. Once inside some of the decor is so dated it’s actually retro cool. However it’s clean and given the friendly atmosphere and wonderful staff, some who are native English speakers, we’re sure you’ll soon relax and enjoy everything this hotel has to offer.
Akakura Central Hotel has large communal living spaces with comfortable lounges and a log fire to make you feel right at home after a day on the ski slopes. The bar with its wood burning fireplace is the perfect place to enjoy a few drinks and chat to other guests, and most likely the friendly owner as well.
The rooms at Central Hotel are similarly dated but are clean and comfortable. There are western twin rooms, Japanese rooms and also family rooms. The hotel has recently renovated some rooms to make them more like western suites. The hotel has an onsen and and an onsite restaurant which serves breakfast and dinner. Japanese breakfast and western breakfast is available.
Who should stay here
Akakura Central Hotel in Myoko Kogen is great for anyone, families with children included, who is looking for reasonably priced slopeside accommodation and willing to look past a few faults. The large communal areas would also make Akakura Central Hotel a good choice for groups or singles alike.
Location
Akakura Central Hotel in Myoko Kogen has a great slopeside position at the top of Akakura Village (it’s just a few steps to the slopes across a road) and an easy 5 minute walk downhill to the main street.

Scout Booking Terms & Conditions
- Availability: Booking of all packages & accommodation is subject to availability at time of confirmation of package option by customer.
- Rate includes: All associated taxes. Some hotels charge extra fees for parking, cots, rollaways etc. Such fees can be confirmed on request based on your requirements.
- Payment Schedule:
- Deposit: 25% of the full amount is due WITHIN 7 DAYS OF CONFIRMATION to secure the booking.
- Final Balance: Invoice will be issued for the remaining balance 80 days prior to departure. PAYMENT IS DUE 70 DAYS PRIOR to departure. Failure to pay by 70 days may result in the auto-cancellation of accommodation by the accommodation provider or late payment fees.
- Bookings within 70 days: Full payment is required within 7 days to secure the booking.
- Variations: In some circumstances suppliers may have different payment policies to the above. Additionally some Early Bird deals require full payment by or soon after the book-by date. In these instances Scout will clearly communicate any variances prior to confirmation.
- Cancellation Policy:
- All deposits are non-refundable once received.
- For balance payments made within 70-45 days prior to the trip the deposit amount is non-refundable.
- No refund for total amount for cancellations 45 days or less prior to arrival and no-shows. In unexpected, unfortunate circumstances (family death etc) Scout will work to negotiate with the supplier for a full or partial refund, however this is not guaranteed. We recommend taking travel insurance to make sure you are covered. Cancelling due to weather, missed travel connections or lack of snow is not considered an unexpected circumstance and is one of the risks you must wear as part of taking a ski trip. Unless the supplier has a snow guarantee or weather cancellation policy, Scout will not refund any part of the package due to these factors.
- Variations: Please note that some hotels may have stricter policies (such as no refund within 60 days) and we are required to pass on these policies. We will communicate any varations to the above cancellation policy prior to confirmation of booking.
- Changes Policy:
- Once bookings are confirmed and deposit is paid service fees will apply for every amendment to existing elements, late final payment and travel document re-issue in addition to fees charged by suppliers
- In a few instances we purchase products through third party providers. If you change part of your package whilst at a destination, the 3rd party provider may have a different refund policy to that of the supplier in the destination. Wherever possible we will work to recover any refunds that come from a change at the destination, however it is not guaranteed.
- Surcharges: Scout does not charge any additional fees for the booking. Prices quoted are for cash (bank transfer) payments only. Credit card payments (Amex, Visa or Mastercard only) will be subject to 1.8% surcharge.
- Booking Currency: Scout will quote and charge in one currency of your choice from AUD, USD, CAD, JPY, EUR or GBP only.
- Currency Exchange Policy: If you book an international destination all remaining balances are subject to change (based on currency fluctuations) until the final payment has been processed. This can go either way (if your currency gets stronger you will be invoiced less!). We will confirm at the time of invoice what the final amount is, based on the exchange rate at that time. Should you wish to pay the balance earlier (prior to when it’s actually due) to secure that current exchange rate you are welcome to request the final invoice at any time. Once payments have been made (deposit or final balance), no refunds will be given for changes in the amount of what that payment would be, based on currency changes at any time prior to your trip.
- Travel Insurance: Once your booking is confirmed, we strongly recommend taking out travel insurance as it will often cover the cost of cancelled reservations.
