Location short walk to Goryu ski resort or shuttle bus nearby. Comfortable, good daily breakfast alternating between Japanese/ western. Microwave available, perfect for heating own food. Small Fridge in rooms. Hot bath men’s/ women’s separate 24/7, great for after a day skiing. TV with Netflix available- handy for nighttime relaxing in room. Jon very helpful with transport to stations with luggage. Also provides discounts for ski hire & lift tickets. Very comfortable & friendly staff!

Entry room not heated. Which didn’t help with drying wet shoes, which need removing before entry to hotel.

The owner, Jon! He is an outstanding host who goes above and beyond. It was like a home away from home rather than a hotel. Starting with fantastic communication and pick up from the bus, and a hot chocolate when we walked in the door. The warmth and hospitality from all staff is unparalleled. The location is amazing, a short walk up the road to Escal Plaza/Goyru ski field. From here you can take the shuttle bus between ski fields right up the valley, or if you want to pop into Hakuba to get groceries/supplies, or cash. You need cash everywhere in Japan, particularly for the buses in Hakuba (free if you’re snowboarding/skiing, otherwise ¥600 per trip). There are a selection of bars and restaurants very close by. Kamui in particular, an amazing Japanese restaurant a 2 minute walk away. You can also have dinner at the hotel if you let them know in the morning, which we kept forgetting to do!! The breakfast included is fantastic, Japanese mostly so don’t expect croissants and pastries! Although most days it’s with a western flare of bacon and eggs etc. Perfect for a day on the snow, and huge portions. I’m vegetarian and this was well catered for. There is a drying room for your gear, and a self use laundry. They also have a comfy bar area for apres ski drinks, and a microwave if you want to heat your own meals, which you can get from the supermarket or Lawson’s convenience store in Hakuba. They have excellent choices. We didn’t want to leave!!

Jon and the team were so helpful and nice! He picked us up from the station the first day. The room was clean and comfortable for the two of us. The included breakfast was great, and alternated between Western and Japanese style. This is the perfect spot if you’re skiing Goryu as it’s a quick 10 min walk to the hill. The recommendation and discount for Cherry Rentals nearby was also appreciated. The lower level onsen was a great way to relax after a long day on the slopes. They also offer dinner (we had the Nabe hot pot) which was a great and tasty way to finish off the trip. Would recommend and stay again! Thanks!

There is so much to love about Hotel Sejour Mint. From the very first phone call on arrival at the train station, to our very reluctant departure (complete with a little gift of travel treats!), we felt like more than just guests, John and his wonderful team providing us with a warm and comfortable stay akin to a home away from home. Breakfast was a home-cooked hot meal that fuelled us well past the morning, each day delivering exciting new options. Dinner, and I heartily recommend you arrange dinner at the hotel, was one of the best meals we had in Japan. And we had a lot of meals in Japan! The Shabu Shabu was divine, and the Wagyu beef is some of the softest I have ever tasted. Make sure you try a glass of Nagano apple juice too! As a family of three we found our room to be a very comfortable size, and having a private bathroom was a nice luxury, especially given hotels at the same price point offer shared bathrooms. It was warm and after a day on the mountain the comfortable beds were a dream. There’s also a lovely Japanese bath - perfect for relaxing in while you wait for the washing machine to finish! The location is perfect, with a gentle walk up to Goryu - and a downhill back home following a day of shredding! Grab a crepe n your way back, and be sure to stop and give thanks at the small shrine on the way. If you don’t want to walk in your ski or board boots, take them with you and grab a locker when you get to the mountain. There is also a 7/11 and a supermarket within walking distance, which we enjoyed as a way of stretching out after boarding all day. You can also get lift passes and hire gear via the hotel, and the drying room has ample space to store your kit. And ask about luggage transfers if you’re not moving to another ski resort - so convenient! Would we come back? Absolutely!! Our stay with John was the best we had in Japan, and the best I’ve had at any ski resort.

Leaving. We really didn’t want to leave!

Jon and his wife were brilliant hosts. He picked us up from Escal Plaza (and dropped us off at the bus stop on departure), was very knowledgeable and had very good English. Onsite drying facilities were great and the bedrooms warm. Breakfast was different each day including some traditional options. Handily opposite the bus station and a 15 minute walk from some very delicious food. Has a deal with Cherry rental too. They even made us little gift departure bags for our train journey. Not ultra modern, but I'm here for the skiing and having a comfortable, warm room. Which, is what you want. Thoroughly recommend to all. Absolutely delighted with this find.

The staff were so kind and helpful, the free breakfast was really nice and they even made vegetarian/vegan food for me every morning which I really appreciated. Located within walking distance of the Goryu resort which also had a shuttle bus stop. The room was cosy and warm, with a toilet and shower, it even had Netflix which we enjoyed most nights. There’s a shared dry room, indoor onsen and washing machine and dryer. Everything was great.

This is our 2nd time staying here. We love the Staff, meals, location and accessibility. We will stay again in the future. Yasuko Kayo Tomo Kurumi Ayaka and staff are so Amazing.

Firstly, the people especially Jon and Hidemi-san. They were very hospitable and helpful from the beginning right up to the end of our stay. Location was perfect and my children thoroughly enjoyed the backyard and played snow every evening even after dusk.

Basically nothing we didn’t like. We had the room with attached bathroom, the bathroom was in between doors, rather tiny and tight but absolutely clean so no complaints.

Sejour Mint was by far the most hospitable and welcoming hotel I’ve ever stayed at. The staff were all the loveliest people and were really accommodating to any needs. They also provided help for dietary requirements and were very thoughtful. The location is also perfectly situated next to Goryu ski resort. The rooms were also cozy and homey. I highly recommend this hotel to anybody.

John and his partner and staff were friendly, helpful and went above and beyond in making our 1st stay in the snow in Japan a comfortable and memorable one. John helped us organize ski passes, ski gear hire, ski lessons and recommended places to eat. An amazing breakfast was ready for us every morning. Dry room facilities were great. John organized transfers to the train station. If you are looking for accommodation similar to B&B, then I cannot recommend this hotel enough! We'll be back 😊
