Seki Onsen suits powder skiers who want a tiny bath hamlet beside a two-lift resort, and its trade-off is having almost nothing else there.

Who should base here
Stay in Seki Onsen when the Seki Onsen lifts are the plan and you want to sleep beside them after a red-brown bath.
Seki Onsen is a handful of inns on the road above Akakura, set apart from the rest of Myoko Kogen. Its water runs red-brown, one of the three colours Myoko's onsen villages are known for, and Nakamuraya Ryokan advertises the red water in its open-air bath.
The Seki Onsen ski area beside the hamlet has only two lifts and draws a following among powder skiers. Tsubame Onsen sits higher up the mountain with milky-white water.
