    Amazing hospitality and service. It felt like a home stay the entire time. The Room/Bed was very comfortable, clean and quite. The Onsen was one of the best I have seen in Japan. Always clean and orderly.

    I liked everything although I probably wouldn't do a long stay on a futon

    The location was perfect and the staff were some of the friendliest I've ever met.I don't speak a word of Japanese & the host went above & beyond to show me everything using google translate

    We stayed in a Japanese style room with futons which is something we wanted to experience but might not be for everyone. Same as the shared showering /bathing area as it is japanese style, but if you want to try something culturally different go for it. There is a 10:30pm curfew which is understandable but not ideal if you’re looking to stay out late.

    It is a really lovely family run inn. The room we stayed in was quite spacious and they also have a private onsen. The doonas were very thick and cozy. Highlight for us was the breakfast and dinner meals. Delicious japanese style meals and very filling.

    The nicest family runs this place. Incredibly helpful and kind. They were just SO nice! The room that we had was nicely updated, two beds and two futons. The mattress was on a firm side, I'm happy with that but ymmv. Very clean. Japanese breakfast and dinner were amazing- definitely ask for them. Delicious dishes, vegetables and rice were home grown:) A short walk to the bus stop and the ski gondola. A hidden gem

    The Nagasaka gondola station is quite a bit of a uphill walk from Oyado Nozawaya, however it is right in the middle of the onsen town where the restaurants and public baths are, and not too far from the Chuo bus terminal too.

    The owner and his family was very friendly and hospitable to us, despite the language barrier. They went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and even helped us on our way when we were rushing for a ski lesson at the ski school. Oyado Nozawaya has its own private onsen if you prefer not to go to the public baths. We also opted for dinner on one of the nights and it was a wonderful experience with all the dishes cooked using produce from the owner's own farms. Overall, we felt like we were staying in a ryokan just without the yukata.

    The only thing worth mentioning here is that the rooms (at least the room I stayed in) did not have a private shower. Instead, I bathed in the onsen downstairs which I personally don't mind at all, but maybe not ideal for others.

    Amazing location. Run by a friendly family who go out of their way to ensure your stay is good. Really good breakfast. Clean and comfortable rooms with tatami floor mats. Really nice onsen too at the basement so you can relax after a day of skiing. Cannot recommend this enough. Great value for money.

    The onsen was so cool! It seemed like it was dirty/ smelly but it was the natural Sulfur heating the hot spring water, an awesome experience! The black stuff in the water was ash!! It was clean!! The staff were so good and cared so much about our experience, waiting up for us to arrive at 10:30pm! They then also took us and our luggage to our next accommodations!
