The Kinta Naeba
The Kinta Naeba is a funky hotel with its concrete industrial feel that’s also retained plenty of Japanese decor. It’s within reasonable walking distance of Naeba Ski Resort & offers Japanese and Japanese/western combos. All rooms have a private toilet, and most also have a private bathroom. The hotel has a nice ambience in the main building with its lounge, bar and restaurant.
Where is the Kinta Naeba?
The Kinta Naeba overlooks the slopes of
Naeba Ski Resort. See the
Naeba travel page for information on location and how to get to Naeba.
Other than the massive Naeba Prince Hotel, Kinta Naeba is one of the closest Naeba lodging options to the slopes. It is a 5 minute walk down to the car park of the south gate and then another 5 minute walk to cross the bridge and get to the slopes (so driving a car to the car park doesn’t get you that much closer to the slopes).
It’s a 10 minute walk to get to the main street of town where there are various restaurants, whilst some restaurants are a 15 minute walk away.
Arrival and departure shuttles can be provided from/to the Naeba bus stop at the Prince Hotel.
