“Real ski in ski out”

Real ski in ski out!!! Only 15 mins to get into town (20 on the way back walking up hill if the travelator has finished for the day) Staff are so helpful with travel communication and dropping us / picking us up from the bus stop. Rooms nice and warm

“Cozy on mountain Japanese hotel with wonderful staff and friendly intimate atmosphere”

Very cozy Japanese hotel. Loved the woodburning fire in the lounge and the dinner was very good. Staff were excellent and friendly. Location was great for access to skiing

“Very comfortable, on the slopes, with great food”

This place was just we hoped for. Calm and on the slopes. Excelent cuisine.

Great breakfast included in package. friendly family run business.

“This is a great place to stay for ski in and out accommodation. Just be mindful that after 4.40pm you really are restric”

Loved that it was ski in and out. It was spotlessly clean. Lovely, friendly, family run accommodation. Fabulous Japanese dinner.

“The staff were so lovely and helpful.”

It was very conveniently located so you could ski in and out of the slopes. Ski hire at the lodge was also good! Hana and the other staff were really helpful. Great they picked us up and dropped us tot the bus stop in their caterpillar.

“Great accommodation”

From the beginning: -Pickup at the Nakao station N3 bus stop (Nozawa Liner bus) in their snow tractor car -Location was amazing, literally ski in ski out -Share toilet, bathroom/shower room and Onsen (hot tub/Onsen) -breakfast and if you pay for dinner was different every day -Lodge is family run -very good facilities, we got the triple bed room, has a gas heater, tv. Small area in dining section for children to play with their toys -very friendly owner accommodating, we asked to have our breakfast and dinner first before they bought out the 3 Yr old's meal, which they did.

“A warm, welcoming stay in a perfect ski-in ski-out location”

The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made us feel right at home. The daily homemade breakfasts were a real highlight and added so much to the overall experience. If you enjoy skiing or snowboarding, this place is perfect, with the slopes being easily accessible and right nearby and a storage for your equipment on site.

“Great place for ski in-ski out. Super friendly family. Dinner is a must!!”

Our room was extremely spacious. The family that run the lodge are really nice. The boys working in the restaurant were great. Amazing dinner!!

“Nice stay during ski season”

O was during shoulder season , everything was closed in the village and shuttlebussen were down, but o was there yo see if i would book next ski season. They are very kind people. It is next to ski lift.

“Lovely Owners, Great for Skiers on a Budget”

Cheap and cheerful though functional. Had one Twin bed room for solo occupation. Very good price. No ensuite - shared facilities outside room/down corridor. Towels provided, need own toiletries. Small warm bathroom/mini onsen for single person use at a time. I used it twice - no queing issues. VERY close to ski slopes and ski back easily possible. Has own ski rental, slightly cheaper than main rental near lifts central ski base about 500m away. Ski/Kit storage area downstairs. Small place (about 8 rooms, I guess), but all I needed for a weekend/2 nights stay. A bit of a walk to the main town (15 mins in, longer back uphill). There are plenty of food options in town. Also visited reconmendwd Onsen, there are a number of options but some are alledgedly very hot and recommendd only for locals. Can get breakfast and dinner at hotel. Very helpful and friendly staff. Strongly recommend for ardent skiers who don't need fancy facilities.

Breakfast was fabulous. We also had a few dinners there and they were delicious.

“Ski in Ski out. Old school hospitality in an excellent Lodge with family staff.”

The Location at the top of the Town in the Snow, next to a river. Quiet at Night. Good communication and picked us up in Snow Cat. So Cool to be right in the snow in a proper old school lodge with a bar and fire. Ski in Ski out. Breakfast included. Dinner Meal to book if you like each night. The town is a busy village and a beautiful 10-minute walk through the snow after about 5pm when access to town via free conveyor belt stops each day is finished. Otherwise, it's easy access from central ski and ticket area via conveyor walkway to the top of a thermal onsen area of the town. Owners pick you up and drop off in a Snow cat at start and end of stay. They are very friendly, help with any questions and bar area is nice at any time sitting by the fire with a deck and view of slopes.

Great travel experience! The homestay staff were very friendly, the breakfast was delicious, and they also provided transportation service.

“Wicked!”

Brilliant location, lovely owners, delicious breakfast, comfy beds

“Family feel lodge”

Right on the slopes! A family run lodge, way above the town with excellent views straight out onto the snow. They only have few rooms and so it never felt busy. They offer a shuttle run to pick you up/ drop off when you arrive/depart. Onsite ski rental was a huge plus. Triple room.

“Welcoming hosts make a great stay.”

I stayed already the second time. Not during early / mid autumn so I had the entire hotel to myself. The owner is very welcoming. On my first trip I hadn’t booked dinner and she drove me down to Nozawa onsen every night for dinner and picked me up again. On my last stay I booked dinner and breakfast and she is a very good cook too. My bicycle also got a storage room which is great. The room itself is simple but all I needed.

“Needed organisation, but enjoyable. Best if you are driving.”

Out of town at ski slopes. Would be great in winter. Walk into town helped by long moving walkway, but it stops at 4:30, taxis stop soon after and there are no buses. Owners willing to help out in emergency.

Amazing location on the ski slopes, great ski hire shop right next door. Friendly and cosy.

“Absolutely lovey family-run Alpine style lodge”

Highly recommend having dinner at the lodge. Most tasty miso soups I’ve had. Very warm staff, the owner picked me up /dropped me off at the bus stop, I had a nice stay.
