Hotels and Ryokan

Ski Lodges and Hotels

Hotel Daisen & Shirogane Annex
Hotel Daisen boasts the largest, best-maintained bath in the Daisen Temple area. It’s open 24 hours so guests can take a relaxing soak any time. With 56 rooms, it also has the largest capacity in the area. Some rooms have their own attached toilet and bath, and if you prefer not to use shared facilities, this is the best choice in Daisen. The bar in the lobby is a favorite hang-out spot for guests and non-guests alike.

Minshuku (guesthouses)

Daisen has plenty of simple, reasonably-priced lodges known as minshuku. Minshuku usually feature traditional Japanese-style rooms with tatami mats, sliding paper doors, and futons. Home-style (but copious) meals are served in a common dining room, and you should expect to share a bathroom with other guests. Staying at a minshuku is a bit like staying at the home of your great-aunt twice removed: nothing fancy, but there’s nostalgia and hospitality to spare! The standard charge per person is 9,450 yen, including two meals.
 

Daisen Utopia

This inn right across the street from the ski slopes is run by a creative cook and her husband, an avid fisherman and edible-mushroom gatherer. Instead of standard hotel fare, the proprietress cooks up whatever suits her fancy using local in-season vegetables, wild mushrooms, and fresh fish from nearby mountain streams. She’s happy to take requests as well and will match the menu to your budget. Dogs and other pets are welcome at the hotel, too (the owners have two dogs themselves).

An affordable hotel operated by the local government, Daisen View is located right across from the ski slopes and features a large shared bath. The manager likes to collect wild mushrooms, so if you visit in fall you’re likely to find some unusual varieties in your dinner.

Daisen-kan

Located very close to the trailhead for climbing to Daisen’s summit, this inn is famous for the fermented dried squid handmade by the elderly proprietress. Available in jars to take home as a gift – but be forewarned, this may be an acquired taste!

Temple Lodging

Sanraku-so, located just outside the gates of Daisen Temple, offers lodging, meals, and a taste of the old temple town as it once was. Rooms are simple Japanese-style, with tatami mats, a shared bath, and futons, while meals include exquisitely presented, multi-course vegetarian temple fare (with a few new twists, like the meatless “sohei,” or “monk-warrior,” burger). Guests can join monks in prayer services. Popular with foreign travelers.
