Lovely location, staff wonderful

“A very special experience”

This accommodation in The gorgeous town of NozawaOnsen is run by a Japanese family. They make the most elaborate vegetarian meals which were amazing. The rooms were spacious and the bathroom was compact, but perfect. The decor was try to a family that has lived in the building for many generations. They were so welcoming I felt like family. I communicated with Midori with google translate as I could not speak Japanese. I hope to come again.

“Perfect”

Our host was incredibly helpful and kind. Our view from room 304 was incredible and such a beautiful cozy and comfortable stay. On arrival a lovely dinner was prepared and so delicious. Very happy! Will stay again! Thank you :)

“It was a great stay, I felt well supported and breakfast was fantastic.”

It was very cosy and well looked after by the staff.

Convenient location, 7 minute walk to Chuo shuttle bus station

“Cozy stay”

“Loved our stay.”

Comfortable spacious Japanese accommodation. Walking distance to the centre of town and bus station. Loved the vegetarian Japanese breakfast. The family run business was very welcoming.

“homely and nice place to chill after a long day of skiing”

breakfast was amazing and made me reimagine vegetarian food, room was also kept very clean all 4 nights

“Hoping to come back to this lovely nurturing hotel.”

So cosy, comfortable and clean. Lots of character with every need catered for

“Nice little homey hotel in central nozawa onsen”

Nice little homey hotel in central nozawa onsen. Walking distance to multiple onsens. The hotel itself has an indoor bathhouse and the room has a bath as well. Was always warm inside despite snowing outside. It’s a very quiet hotel, we didn’t really see any other guests or staff during the entire stay.

“Totally perfect. Highly recommended.”

The location, the lovely staff & delicious food. I even checked in an hour early. Beautiful unique experience x

The vegetarian dinner was absolutely amazing (and the breakfast too)! Very close to a bunch of the town's free onsens too! Nothing to complain about, very much recommend!

Very welcoming, beautiful location, and some of the best food we have eaten in our Japan trip. The effort put into these meals is outstanding and we loved the room with the futons and view of the river. Highly recommended and I hope we can come back.

“Traditional and very cosy. Vegetarian food was excellent.”

This is a lovely property run by a family. The vegetarian food was excellent. The accommodation was very comfortable, it feels a little bit like you are staying in their house. The owners were very helpful. Lots of space in the room but like most Japanese accommodation not a lot of storage.

“The bird lady of Nozawa Onsen”

Great location for skiiing/snowboarding at Hikage area. Comfortable 10m walk from Yu Road, moving walkway. At least 3 onsens within 5m walk, liquor store and pizza restaurant across road, local restaurants 5m walk. Unfortunately we chose not to eat at accommodation due to owner's birds being let out between meals to fly around dining room. Tatami matting and futon bedding, large room, warm. Compressor downstairs or outside kicks in and out roughly half hourly during the night, gentle noise but there. Amazing value for money, no English spoken/understood. Good luck getting a booking!

“Amazing stay, cosy rooms and delicious food”

We absolutely loved our stay at Hatoguruma Kawabata! I feel lucky we got to stay here. The food was AMAZING - if you don't manage to secure accommodation, I would still recommend trying to book a dinner here. For vegetarians, it is a feast, so delicious. The room was really cosy, with a low table and chairs, and tatami floors. My husband had to stack two mattresses to get comfortable but that was fine as there were spares in the wardrobes. We had mountain views from our window - stunning! It was lovely and quiet, and there was a heater that worked well. The hosts were so kind and welcoming. And we loved using the baths in the basement level - a treat after a long day on the slopes! Highly recommended to stay here.

“Lovely people and vegetarian food”

The vegetarian food was delicious. Family run place. Help parking the car. Very friendly.

“It doesn't get better than here”

I loved absolutely everything. The room was kept nicely with a view of the slopes. As a vegan, I'm not used to being accommodated, let alone the delicious feast that I got for breakfast and night. Do yourselves a favour and book food as well as board - they take such care with these meals and they're delicious. The staff were lovely and kind, and were happy to chat to me - I don't know if they speak English though.

“Charming stay”

Charming hotel, run by lovely family.

Everything is perfect.
