Location

“Wonderful location with comfortable rooms and warm staff.”

Beautiful traditional Ryokan with shared onsen/rotenburo. Staff are friendly and helpful. Room cleaned daily and futon is super comfortable. Great Ryokan (my third stay)!

“Friendly staff. The real Nozawa experience.”

Lovely traditional Japanese guesthouse with private facilities and indoor and outdoor onsens. Kimonos for onsens. Slippers etc.

Cosy and amazing Ryokan! Staff and food great too. Right by the Yu walkway. Highly recommend

The host was very friendly and welcoming in a very authentic Japanese setting. The location was fantastic.

“I will recommend”

Kind and helpful hostess , Great Japanese breakfast, convenient location to ski lift and village centre

“Beautiful relaxing and authentic stay in a place only walking distance from the slopes.”

The breakfast was a wonderful treat and experience

“Overall, the location is awesome and the staff very friendly and helpful.”

I appreciate that the breakfast is Japanese style, but most of it was cold. I prefer hot breakfast options.

“Special ryokan experience in a great location”

Historic traditional ryokan with beautiful onsen and fantastic service. Full Japanese set breakfasts in your groups private dining room. Wet snow clothes taken away and dried for you. A really special place.

It was an excellent experience and recommend highly. So close to the main street and the ski access of Yu road. The Cafe Shiro across the road is amazing. The private onsen is reasonably to stay there on its own.

“Fantastic”

Overall, it was a lovely stay and provided a beautiful traditional Japanese experience and were glad we found this gem on Powderhounds. We stayed in a washitsu which was rather spacious and had a nice Japanese style sitting area. We requested an extra futon each (as we typically do unless there are extra futons in the cupboard) to make sleeping on the floor more comfortable, and then it was great. We had a private bath and toilet, although I don’t think we used the former considering the amazing onsen. The onsen baths were lovely. Despite the ryokan only having 9 guest rooms, the indoor bath was larger than some of the Nozawa public onsen baths, and then there was a small outdoor bath for each gender as well. We might have had onsen soaks about three times a day! Breakfast in a private dining room was fantastic and included lots of different Japanese creations. After breakfast, they brought coffee up to our room. This was just one element of the amazing service levels, which included bringing our luggage to and from the carpark (which was undercover and a rarity for Nozawa), accompanying us to breakfast each morning (it would be easy to get lost in the inn!), and fetching ski boots etc.

“fabulous accomodation and location with delightful hostess”

“fabulous accomodation and location with delightful hostess”

Location is fantastic, a few minutes walk to the yui ropeway and straight to the ski area. Also in town so walking distance to restaurants and cafes. Service was so good, the staff even offered us use of their wellingtons over our regular shoes on a particularly heavy snowy day, which was excellent advice as the snow was deep enough that we would have got all wet. Onsen also beautiful after a long day. Will definitely stay again. Arigato gozaimasu!!!

Friendly stuffs
