Lovely couple who owns Lodge Matsuya. Great location also.

Perfect location, rooms were massive, very clean and the hosts were amazing! So kind and the onsens were beautiful and warm! Would definitely come back

Great location right in the heart of Nozawa onsen (1 min to main street and all the cafes, bars, shops and only 10mins walk up to the main gondy base. Best lodge we stayed at on our trip - very tidy and well looked after. Great drying room for gear and so good to have parking right next door. Onsen onsite was excellent

“Convenient location, comfortable stay”

Onsen on-site was a nice way to relax after skiing. Great location, 1 minute walk to nearby restaurants and cafes and 5 minutes to the bus terminal. 10 minute walk to YU-ROAD to access the resort, I recommend storing skis up on the mountain so you can walk the steep streets in comfort.

“Thoroughly enjoyed and will definitely be back”

Me and my girlfriend stayed here for 4 nights over Christmas, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, it was above and beyond. The lodge is immaculate and clearly very well looked after. The breakfast is great, you are given a choice of American or Japanese breakfast during your stay, we picked one of each to enjoy, breakfast is already laid out for you on a morning, and they bring hot food out when you get there. It’s an amazing experience and the perfect way to start your day before skiing or snowboarding! There is also a beautiful stream that runs by outside which is nice to look at! There location is very central to the main town, so very easy to get to plenty of restaurants/bars, and only a couple hundred metres away from the bus stop to get the shuttle direct to the gondola, which is very easy and quick (and free). The location is close enough to walk to the gondola if you prefer, but is about 10-15 mins walk uphill. The owners of the lodge are also very helpful, able to provide rental recs and skis passes, and anything else you need help with. We booked a room with a toilet, however showers etc are part of an onsen. This was incredible after a full day on the slopes and something we looked forward to on a night! The onsen is never particularly busy and usually have it to your self. There are communal fridges/microwaves/kettles/water cooler for everyone to use and are kept in immaculate condition by the owners/other guests. You can tell a lot of thought has been put into everything the owners do, and we felt nothing but welcomed and looked after during our stay. Overall, as you can tell from our review, we loved our stay here. Sad to leave, but will definitely be back!

“The resort and hotel make it easy to enjoy your skiing or snowboarding”

Great location. Friendly helpful staff, they try very hard to help. English is not great, but good enough. Helped book a taxi. Back to the station when we were leaving. Good breakfasts

“5 stars 🌟”

The couple who run the property are exceptional hosts. The room is very clean and the beds are comfortable. The onsen and bathroom facilities were all kept spotless. I was even helped carrying my luggage up stairs to my room upon arrival and was able to check in early. The homemade breakfast was delicious and they even made me a vegetarian breakfast each morning! I will definitely stay at Lodge Matsuya again next time I am in Nozawa

“Perfect place to stay”

Amazing lodge. Our tatami room was big and comfortable with great views. The shared bathrooms were always very clean. We enjoyed the onsen too. Breakfast was delicious, you can choose western or Japanese style. A good location in the town only a short walk from the bus stop. We loved it here!

“Well located near restaurants, walk up hill to mountain.”

Offered full Japanese breakfast & western option in cosy dining area.

It's an older building and showing it's age a bit, but the rooms were spacious and comfortable with ample storage. The location is fantastic.

The room is clean, the bed is comfy, and the lodge had it's own onsen, which is very convenient. The breakfast is cheap and good. View from the room is great. Location is very convenient, close to the village center and walking distance from the ski gondolas.

It's a simple little lodge, but far from the Ski fields and having its own onsen for after a day in the snow was nice. We used that more then the other onsens which were the main reason we came to visit, the snowboarding was an added bonus. You can get a discount for the ski lifts too. We enjoyed the Japanese breakfast also. Great place to stay if you're on a budget too.

Staff were lovely and room was comfortable. Easy walk from bus. Breakfast was exceptional.

Meal was OK, location is great.

“Comfortable stay near the slope and Main Street”

Location, very clean and comfortable , value for money

The property comes with an onsen you can use even after checking out. It was really convenient! The rooms are also spacious and comfortable

The location is super central and a very short walk into the centre of action.

“Would stay there again.”

Spacious rooms. Lovely view. Beautiful onsen shower and bath room.
