Hotel Shuzan (a.k.a. Hotel Syuzan or the Seventh Door Inn) is nicely located in the centre of Akakura Village near the base of the Akakura Onsen ski resort.

Hotel Shuzan offers an outdoor and an indoor hot spring bath, massage treatments and ski gear rentals, as well as a souvenir shop, drinks vending machines and free Wi-Fi at the lobby.

The rooms at the Seventh Door Inn have a tatami (woven-straw) floor and a low table with seating cushions. Guests sleep in traditional futon bedding, and all rooms are fitted with an LCD TV and a fridge. The en suite bathroom contains a toilet, shower and bathtub, and comes with toiletries.
