Guest Reviews

• REI (1/5): -
• Nicholas (10/5): Fantastic Traditional Ryokan, centrally located near food, bars, and shopping. - Location was fantastic, right in the main village - We walked over from the bus terminal, even with luggage, we had no issues finding the property. The Ryokan is only a 1 minute walk to convenience store/liquor store, and a 1 minute walk to our favorite local bar (Balance) which also had video games and ping pong (kids allowed). Also a late night ramen shop around the corner. The Ryokan is very traditional with tatami floor mats/futon style sleeping. It has its own small onsen downstairs which at times got very hot (pro tip: add cold water to balance out the temp). We enjoyed a morning and/or evening dip before and after skiing - which was never crowded during our 5-day stay. You are also near several of the towns 'free" local onsens. These are very barebones and traditional. If you prefer an onsen with more amenities 'Furusato-no-yu' was a 3-min walk away, had a large indoor and outdoor - paid onsen, which we loved. Also about a 10-15min walk was a coed/mixed gender onsen (SPArena) that my daughter preferred (age 10). The front desk helped us with all our questions, and arrangements. We found quite a few restaurants needed reservations ahead of time, but some welcomed walk-in's right when they opened. Overall a great experience and we hope to visit Nozawaonsen again, and would absolutely stay at this property again. The Ryokan is centrally located, but is a bit of a steep trek uphill to the moving escalator and ski resort/gondola. We walked uphill in normal shoes/blundstone boots, and then rented a small locker (bring coins) to stash our shoes/any additional gear. No fault of the property, but should be noted; if walking up steep hills with skis might be an issue.

• Hore-Gibson (10/5): 10/10 would come back here in a heart beat. - Lovely property, cute rooms with comfy beds, close to the slopes and close to a great bar. The couple that ran the stay were incredibly kind and accomodating.
• Ruth (8/5): Great location, lovely family that hosted, and warm in winter - Great location in Nozawa Onsen for families chasing the snow and can store skis and boards and the futon beds where great! Internet was fast. Shared bathroom and spa very hot and for my tall husband and son they did have to duck in doorways
• Yoong (8/5): Old but cozy stay. Central location -
• Jean (10/5): Un séjour merveilleux ! - - L’ambiance générale de cette magnifique auberge traditionnelle, - L’amabilité et la disponibilité du gérant, - Le confort et la décoration de la chambre, - Le bain chaud dans l’établissement, - L’emplacement de l’établissement situé à 2 min à pied de la station de bus (Nozawa Onsen Liner), des commerces et des restaurants ; à 5 min à pied des pistes. Tout était parfait !
• Rachelle (10/5): - A quaint traditional Ryokan. Friendly staff and delicious traditional breakfast. Very well located for east walking to shops, restaurants and the snow slopes.
• Verified traveler (10/5): 野沢温泉 - 場所は温泉街の中心部なので他のスポットへのアクセスがかんたん。 主人の人柄もよくおすすめ
• Verified traveler (8/5): Traditional Ryokan with good food - Location is good. Not far from the Moving Walk and most good public baths. Language may be a challenge if you do not speak/understand some basic Japanese. Breakfast is sometimes average and sometimes good. Dinner is amazing. Rooms get pretty cold in winter, and the small heater does the job but you need to rug up. Tatami mats in the rooms have sink spots, and needs replacement. Toiletries provided are minimal - only a bath towel, toothbrush and toothpaste. Shampoo, conditioner and soap are in the shared bathroom. Also note that the main toilet is a shared unisex toilet. Staff are friendly and helpful Noise can be a problem for some as sound insulation for older buildings here are non existent.

• d (6/5): Convenient, friendly, and barebones - This is a great option for someone looking for a more affordable option in Nozawaonsen. The location is perfect, a 2-minute walk from most of the restaurants, a couple of onsens, and the path to the Hikage ski station. The rooms are spacious and typical of ryokans. We stayed just after a snow, and in the morning our room was 4 degrees (celsius) because we didn't run the kerosene heaters during the night (never advisable). The shared toilets weren't ideal (and smelled a bit, though the toilets themselves were nice), and we weren't comfortable sending our children there knowing that both men and women would be using them simultaneously. The breakfasts were delicious, and the couple who run the ryokan gracious and helpful with our needs as we were able to communicate them.
