Naeba

You won’t be hard pressed to find a delicious meal in Naeba. Unlike some of the smaller resorts, you could definitely stay here for an extended period of time and still not have tried everything on offer. The Prince Hotel houses 23 restaurants, arguably the most popular of which being the Matsukaze Japanese Restaurant, and there are also a plethora of delicious restaurants scattered throughout town. There are, of course, a spattering of fantastic traditional Japanese restaurants throughout town, but also some great western options and some international style dining venues as well, providing every guest with plenty of variety. You’d be crazy to not try some of country’s most famous dishes, though, such as soba noodles – made from buckwheat and served with a variety of ingredients – or sushi prepared with the freshest ingredients available. 

The Prince Hotel also houses a whole host of bars and lounges, as well as some more casual cafés, which are fantastic for evening drinks or catching up with friends in the afternoon. Just because they’re located in a hotel, though, don’t think they’ll be too expensive – there are plenty of more inexpensive options available, too. There aren’t any nightclubs or large party venues, though, and the nightlife is more relaxed than most places. However, it does better than some Japanese ski resorts, with a host of options and some great inviting venues to spend your evening in.
