I,m not a big fan of the private dining rooms. As a single person I was looking forward to a more social dinner/ breakfast experience.

Wow, one of the best traditional breakfasts in Japan. Very nutritious, tasty and high level presentation, a perfect start to a day on the mountain. The onsen is a great finish to a big day on the mountain.

Traditional breakfast a taste of Japan. Great onsen experience.

Amazing to have a private onsen at the accommodation. Best way to start the day

Yukiko was a wonderful host (owner also). The location was great. It was quiet and relaxing. The onsen was lovely and clean. Fresh robes delivered every day to your room. Good restaurants near by. You can also buy discounted lift tickets at reception. Beautiful fluffy doonas but remember its traditional ie futons, so you might need to ask for an extra one if you arent used to this type of mattress

The futon takes getting used to. We asked for another mattress to put on top.

Japanese breakfast was both hearty and tasty

* no offer from the hotel to arrange dinner or breakfast - Nozawa also doesn’t have many good options for that - especially quick ones since you want to get to the slopes/tours. We made the reservation well in advance - they could have offered, we just got redirected on arrival to other places in the village

* traditional ryokan with tatami mats and futons * comfortable temperature in winter * onsen within the premises

Stayed in February 2025

The room was spacious and came with a sink and private toilet. They onsen was warm and facilities like the access to razors, body wash, shampoo and conditioner was handy.

We were on the second floor, and the footsteps of the people above us were quite a disturbance.

A taste of traditional Japanese hospitality. Spacious room and great to have the on-site onsen. We really enjoyed our traditional Japanese dining experience in the dining room. The hostess speaks quite good English and it was interesting to learn about the food of the region, dining etiquette, and sake!

It is quite expensive. But the room size is big and I understand that it is high season.

Lady at reception is lovely - very friendly! Room are clean and a good size. Onsen at the ryokan is very convenient. And the okonomiyaki place nearby is excellent :)

Beautiful traditional style hotel. The onsen was lovely and the staff were extremely helpful.

This Ryokan was extremely clean & neat. Our bed was very comfortable. The private onsen with lots of toiletries was so convenient and it was a beautiful touch to have freshly washed yukaka (pyjamas) provided in our room every day. I would recommend trying the in-house dinner. It was an array of delicious flavours represented over a variety of dishes of Japanese cuisine (with a great explanation of each dish).

The traditional beds on the floor were ok at first, then started to get a little hard as the nights when on. 5 nights later body a little sore.

Very nice traditional Japanese hotel. Lobby has been renovated so really nice.

I cant think of a thing. maybe the walk up the hill to the ski resort.

The Staff were amazing, very helpful. My 87 old mother wasn't accustomed to sleeping on a futon on the floor, the staff brought up extra mattresses for her. The staff were most concerned with my mother who stayed in the room while the rest of the family went skiing. asking after her needs during the day. We were given free tickets to the Fire Festival by the hotel. the hotel also provided discounted lift tickets and referred us to a ski rental shop where we were given another discount (due to where we were staying). The room was huge and very nice. Our room had its own toilet and my sons room had a toilet and shower. Not all rooms had these facilities. The hotel had it's own hot baths, very nice after a day skiing. There were also hot baths scatter around the town. The Hotel dinner Was an incredible, dining experience and i would highly recommend anyone staying here to take part in the dinner. We didn't have the breakfast, which were told by another guest was unfortunate, we had missed an experience. That left us disappointed we hadn't taken the opportunity.

Nothing, everything exceeded expectations.

Incredible stay with the hosts making it that much more special.

My family is not used to bathing with others in the shared bathroom (which is usual practice in Japanese Onsen) so we just check there is no one before we go in and because the hotel is not that big there is usually a time when we can use the bathroom in private. This is just us and not necessary an issue for other hotel guests.

The rooms and facilities were very clean and comfortable. The owner and her staff were very nice and helpful. Breakfast exceeded our expectations. My friends really enjoyed the in-house onsen. Location is close enough to everything but far enough from busy area so it was both convenient and peaceful. The owner helped us make a booking at a local vegetarian restaurant which was one of the best meals we had. Daily towel and pyjama changes were great. Traditional decor is beautiful. I would definitely recommend.

Just amazing! Incredible hosts - so kind and caring. Super comfortable. Food was incredible. Onsen on-site was a huge bonus!!! Loved our time here.

Nothing

The hosts were wonderful and welcoming. The place was very clean and tidy, and there was a beautiful onsen that we used multiple times a day. It takes about a ten to fifteen minutes walk to get to the snow ski area, which was perfect.

We found a little beetle in our room when we arrived. Not a huge deal, and we didn’t see one again. The location is also a little far to the slopes compared to the other hotels in town.

The in-house onsen and the dinner were both exceptional!
