温泉の説明はもちろん、食事処のご紹介など笑顔で丁寧に教えてくれました。
お部屋もキレイで寝具もふかふかだった。
敷地内のワッフル屋さんも美味しかったです。
夕食、朝食は無いプランでも問題なかった。 これは野沢温泉全体ですが、宿のあるところの道が狭い。
ベルファイアでも通れるけど怖

- Valeria (8/5): -
- Brian (4/5): Nice room, but uncomfortable common areas - My room was spacious and had its own temperature-controlled heater, which was a plus. The staff were kind and polite, if a bit hands-off. The unheated hallways and common areas made trips to the shared restrooms and showers on the third floor quite unpleasant in cold weather. The single bathing area is on the first floor, and the shower water was lukewarm most of the time. I appreciated the traditional guesthouse charm, but the overall comfort level wasn't enough for me to return.
- Elodie (8/5): Super hotel ! - L'emplacement est vraiment top : pas loin des pistes et proche du centre.
Le personnel est adorable.
La chambre (pour 5) est spacieuse et propre. Un bain est à disposition dans l'hotel pour profiter des bienfaits thermaux : après une journée de ski. Nickel ! Les futons ... J'ai des problèmes de dos et c'est vraiment pas bon pour moi ...
- Paige (8/5): -
- Furansowazu takako (10/5): Perfect ! - Lovely place to stay! The staff were super helpful and welcoming. The rooms were very spacious and comfortable. They also have a great breakfast ! Highly recommend staying here.
- James (9/5): - It was so traditional, so clean and the staff all lovely.
- Akiko (10/5): We will definitely go back to stay at Utopia again. - Ideal location, in the middle of the village. A few minutes walk to the Gondola station, but you can leave ski & boots at the rental shop and walk back in your sneakers. WiFi was a bit unstable. This was literally the only complaint.
- Henri (1/5): - Location Staff totally treating us as second class citizen.
Facilities very spartan
I do not recommend
To AVOID at all cost
- Maria (10/5): It was an excelent stay. I will definetly stay at Utopia again when visiting Nozawa - great loacation and friendly staff. The owners were attentive and responsive to our needs. when we schedule a taxi and it did not show up, the hotel owners took us to the train station promptly which help us stay on track to our travel arrangements. It was so nice and above all the expectations! The atmosphere, the owners, facility and location.
- Matthew (8/5): -
- Willy Moon (10/5): Aconchegante, limpo e atendimento nota 10! -
- Katie (10/5): Spotless, friendly, family run with great food within and nearby the hotel - Impeccably spotless everywhere. Drying room facilities were amazing and included 2 washing machines (free). The fluffiest doonas you've ever seen! Never had to wait at the shared bathrooms. On site onsen was a lovely 42 degrees and if that isn't enough for you there are about 6 public onsens within a 5 minute walk. Japanese breakfast was amazing (didn't try western) and had enough for me for 3 meals! Our friend hurt her knee and the staff were so sweet fetching her tea and snacks while she sat by the fire. Great common rooms available for use (comfy lounges in front of the fire and a dining room which included microwave). Can't think of a single thing.
- Robyn (9/5): Utopia is a fabulous traditional Ryokan nestled right in the heart of town. The beds and rooms were so comfortable and c - The location of the property was very central to town and a 5 min walk to the Gondola. The hosts were so lovely and curious making us feel so welcome during our stay. There was nothing I didn’t like about the property.
- Rajesh Aradhya (10/5): A cosy, comfortable stay that gave our family a wonderful four days in Nozawa Onsen - Our family stayed at Nozawa Onsen Utopia for four days and had a truly enjoyable Japanese Ryokan experience. The staff were warm, friendly, and always ready to help, which made our stay feel very comfortable.
The rooms were clean, cosy, and perfect for relaxing after exploring the village and the snow. The location was excellent — an easy walk to the main street, restaurants, rental shops, and the moving walkway to the slopes. It was convenient and peaceful at the same time.
We really appreciated the homely atmosphere and the care the hosts put into maintaining the place. Our family left with wonderful memories, and we would happily stay here again. Nothing comes to my mind.

- MINGHUAN (10/5): 综合体验十分满意,尤其喜欢酒店附带的干燥房,所有雪具雪服可以单独干燥。 - 十分满意 十分满意
- Sarah (10/5): -
- Patrick (9/5): One separate shower in the building for children - Super hospitality by the owner and excellent communication. Location to ski lift and Main Street eateries was very convenient.
- Lee Prior (9/5): We loved our stay. Super close to the main part of the village yet quiet. Not too far from the gond - The family that ran Utopia were really lovely. The waffle place next door and onsen across the road where great.
- Rena (10/5): 外湯メインでの宿泊で有れば全体的に必要十分という感じでした。 - ・素泊まりでの利用でしたが、チェックイン時に翌日の朝食をお願いできて助かりました。味もボリュームも文句なしです。
・建物自体はそれなりに古いようですが、内装はリフォームもされているようで綺麗で、お風呂風呂トイレ共同の設備もとても清潔でした。
・立地的に町の中央付近の複数の外湯を回るのに丁度よかったです。 内湯の脱衣所がドアを開けて直ぐで、そのドアには鍵もないこと。
脱衣所で着替えている時にドアが開いたら丸見えなのでヒヤヒヤしながら入浴しました。
ただ外湯も基本的に同じような造りなので、そういう文化の町なのだと思えば、郷に入っては郷に従えでしょうか。
- Julie (8/5): -
- William (8/5): It was a great stay and will be on my list for consideration when we come again to Nozawaonsen. - Good location in between the Nozawa Onsen main street, ski resort centre as well as the two popular public onsen bath places. Good car parking space (as rare resource in that area). The whole place is recently rennovated and good maintained. Neat, tidy and clean. Facilities are in good shape and condition. The staff/owner are very friendly and helpful. The cleaniness of shared bathroom and toilet were a positive surprise to me. The only drawback to me is the room without private toliet. It is quite a hassle even for washing hand.
- Natasha (10/5): -
- Yuma (9/5): -
- Steven Burger (10/5): Loved it. Would love to come again - We were very well surprised. We had a great experience Kaori was fantastic. Shared bathroom was no problem at all. Clean as a whistle.
- Roby (9/5): -
- Josh (10/5): -
- SEIGO (10/5): - ロケーションもよく、駐車場も近いので非常に便利でした。
朝食も最高に美味しかったです! 室内にトイレ洗面台があればもっと良かったと女性陣が言っておりました。
- Mark (9/5): -
- Delphine (9/5): Amazing stay, loved everything - Great stay, the room was large with beautiful views, breakfast is delicious (western and japanese), the lobby is super cozy to seat down and enjoy a quiet evening, staff is super kind, and of course super clean, super close to all the shops Nothing
- scott (7/5): Nice ryokan/ski lodge near both slopes and the center of town - It’s a traditional ryokan/ski lodge well located to both the main gondola and the town/restaurants. The staff is beyond helpful and nice. Since it is an Onsen Hotel in a town of 13 public Onsen, they should provide Yukata. Also, having larger outdoor shoes for crossing to ski locker room or nearby Onsen would be very nice. Also, towel changing should be clearer as to how and when it will
be done. Updating some of the lighting to not be such dull, dim fluorescents would also be nice.
- 永森 (5/5): 急な申し込みの宿泊にも関わらず 良くして頂きました - 広くて綺麗でした。スタッフもとても感じよかったです。 お風呂の供用は 良いんですが トイレの供用は 想定外でした。
- 雅美 (7/5): -
- masahiro (7/5): - 朝食の質・量ともよかったです。 浴室に温泉が入っていればなおよかったと思います。
