Nozawa Peaks

Close to gondola, ski hire across the road, short walk to village, fantastic hosts and great service. Rooms and amenities were no frills but great value for money and everything just worked! we had a great time.

it’s traditional Japanese style witty communal facilities, so if you need a chair or a raised bed, or are an introvert, then this is not for you!

Nozawa Peaks was the perfect hotel option for the town. It's right next to a lift that takes you to the main gondola and a short walk from the main gondola anyway. It's moments walk from one of the nicer onsens (hot springs) in the town which was special as you could pop round to soak off the day's skiing. The room was thoughtfully and tastefully refurbished in a period hotel with just the right details preserved to give the hotel wonderful mid-century character with comfy modern bedding and facilities. The owners however are the best part! They were so helpful, kind and supportive - knowledgeable about restuarants, skiing routes or anything you needed. It was like home from home. The property is self-catering with a communal kitchen for you to prepare meals or drinks (and a Swiss bakery next door!), a living room with TV for films and a restaurant next door. Would definitely stay here again.

I love the clean interior! Traditional Japanese interiors that show off minimalist design

Kain, Liz and Eli are kind and generous hosts. Room was warm and cosy and shared bathrooms were spotlessly clean.

Great location next to the ski lift, rental shop and bakery.

If you have someone in your party who snores... You cannot really get away from them. You will be sharing the toilet, washroom, shower and kitchen area. Just FYI for those who may not be used to this style of inn.
