Myōkō
8.0
Mid score (6-8)
Myoko has an unusual dynamic for rural Japan — a real and established Australian expat community built around the ski resorts means you are not the only foreigner, and locals have calibrated to it. Akakura Onsen and Ikenotaira have English-speaking guesthouses and bars that would be unthinkable in most Niigata towns. Outside ski season the place goes quiet fast and social energy drops to near zero. Come between December and March; the rest of the year is largely dead.
