“Beautiful location with kind hosts.”

Location and very understanding and kind hosts. Truly the definition of hospitable. Also, literally home made food, which cannot be beat.

Very clean and cosy

I enjoyed the traditional aesthetics and excellent hospitality. There was plenty of bedding and I appreciated the kotatsu as well. The breakfast was delicious and the private onsen was nice and relaxing

“A prefect traditional stay in Nozawa!”

Sweet and kind staff. Parking next to the guesthouse. Everything you could need for a stay in Nozawa! Keep in mind that it’s a guesthouse so you share a shower, but seeing as I used a nearby onsen to bathe I didn’t use it. Thank you for the wonderfull stay!

“Relaxed and happy stay in the ryokan!”

The Onsen inside the ryokan is the best thing! The owner is so kind and introduce us many local restaurants for lunch and dinner, also the way to the Shiga Kogen ski area. Parking is free in front of the ryokan. Many steps to climb as our room are at 4th floor buts that’s not a problem for young people like us.

“Lovely!”

The owners were so lovely. The room had a lot of space and I found the bed very comfortable. The breakfast was also very good.

“Definitely wish to come back again!”

A wonderful place to stay in Nozawa Onsen! The host family is very warm and welcoming and the location is very close to the Chuo(central) terminal of the Nozawaonsen Liner. The dinners were one of the very best during our trip and offered a seven-course menu that changes daily, and every dish was so delicately prepared with heart skilfully making use of local seasonal ingredients. Every morning, a traditional and healthy Japanese breakfast is served that gets you up and ready for a great day exploring the village or skiing in the resort nearby. The accommodation was both comfortable and traditional. In the shower area, there are two showers and a hot bath that refreshed us after a day of skiing. There is a drying room which is very useful for skiiers. The host family also gave each of us a delicious Shinshu apple as we bid farewell. Definitely recommended for anyone seeking a traditional and convenient hotel that feels like home in Nozawa Onsen.

A lovely place to stay in Nozawa Onsen! Very friendly hosts, nice rooms with comfy beds and delicious breakfasts. Would recommend!

“Snow Stay at Chouchinya”

The onsen was lovely The staff and their family were very nice and welcoming Breakfast was nice Heated drying room was good Location was also very good

“Thank you for your kindness and I hope to stay with you again in the future.”

It’s a quaint inn, that is near to several bath houses and a small shopping street. The owners are the sweetest people and the breakfast exceptional. It’s a full Japanese breakfast every morning which is delicious, healthy and gets you ready for the day. The futon and blankets are super comfortable and the sound of running water, that comes from the mountain, put me right to sleep every night.

“Excellent service at a home stay style accommodation.”

Lovely family home stay where we were looked after by the hosts. Excellent Japanese breakfast served, and we loved the on site onsen for bathing.

“A cozy hotel , owners very nice and helpful”

Owner couple is very helpful

The owner of this lodge and kind and so nice

“Highly recommended”

Friendly, accommodating, comfortable, clean and fantastic location

The host of the guest house is very friendly to customer. Staying here feel like being in a warm family. The locations is very convenient to travelers and the price is relatively reasonable.

Would highly recommend booking the in-house dinner meal. I had the most enjoyable, traditional meal of my entire stay in Japan here :) arigato gozaimasu!

Staying at the homestay was a delightful experience. The accommodation was comfortable, and the couple and grandma were incredibly attentive, catering to our every need. Their hearty meals truly captured the essence of authentic Japanese cuisine, adding an extra layer of warmth to our stay. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a genuine Japanese experience.
