Best Nozawaonsen Hotels

"We initially couldn't secure rooms with en-suite bathrooms, but we were pleasantly surprised by how clean both the shared bathrooms and rooms were. The onsen was a delightful feature, offering both indoor and outdoor baths. The hotel staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and responsive, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The breakfast was excellent, and the location is very convenient—just a short walk to Nozawa Onsen town and close to the ski park. We had such a great time and will definitely be returning!"

"This hotel is a pure homestay. It should have been run by a couple and an elderly person. During the period, I didn't see any other staff hired. Four people to manage a shop is definitely not enough. The sanitation of the room is not cleaned. They only change the bathrobes every day. Sanitation and toilets are not clean. Therefore, the sanitation is quite worrying. The corner countertops are gray and the room sleeps. When the blanket shakes, dust will float up. Then the hot spring place is also in distressing conditions, the walls are full of mildew, and then the hot spring pool can be responsible for never draining the water to clean, because I touch the edge of the pool every day when I soak, the same one every day The place is abnormally slippery, and there are always black floccules floating in the pool, both in the pools for men and women. I have never encountered this before, so I don’t think much about it. The hot spring bathroom is also all kinds of things. The cleaning is not clean, the whole is dirty, slippery and moldy. Speaking of breakfast, it's really a simple farm breakfast. More than half of the food is purchased. The meat slices and sausages are all ready-made from outside. It feels like I am eating a convenience store package. However, the family of the guesthouse are all super nice people. The room area is also large, much larger than the previous Sumiyoshi house. The location is good next to the bus stop, but the food and sanitary conditions are really flattering. In addition, The shopkeepers can't speak English or understand them, but they are very willing to help. They are very good at heart and quality. If you don't mind accommodation and food, you can choose. After all, it is very economical!"

"Clean, nice staff, lovely 👍 Stay during the summer, few people, good, not chaotic. Like a Guesthouse"

"Lodge was a little too steep and due to it being on the hill, it was icy and slippery when I got there and fell and cut my face. The lodge is a little old and during winter the room that has a sink does not have hot water. We had to walk out to the common area to wash our face coz it was way too cold to even wash our hands."

"Owner is a bit Eccentric and cares more about his daytime dramas. Also has a Dalmatian which he keeps chained in the corner of the living room. Dog is always barking and can be quite a nuisance at times. Also i think the dog urinated as the owner keeps him chained inside all the time. So if you don’t mind the heavy smell of a dog and a unfriendly owner, then look elsewhere. Positives are the onsen is very hot and good. Food is above average and the time they take to make it shows in the details. The rooms are Japanese style and basic. No outlet plugs for charging devices. I would not stay here again. "

"First class service, good meal environment"

"I highly recommend this hotel, it should be one of the best in Nozawa. The rooms are spacious and the hotel staff are also very professional and enthusiastic. I especially recommend the hotel's own hot springs, which have very good facilities and are decorated in a romantic atmosphere. It happened that after skiing, it was snowing, and the open-air hot spring felt particularly good."
