I stayed here with my sister for 3 nights. This was a lovely and incredibly beautiful place to stay. Our room was so beautiful with intricate design. We had a large balcony and could hear the rushing water. Room was incredibly spacious and could have fit more people, such as a small family. The location was perfect - right in the center of town and on path to ski slopes. The inn keeper is so kind and helpful. Loved the onsen located in the hotel, which was really convenient for times we didn’t feel up to going to the public ones around town (which are wonderful as well). We are so glad we stayed here. Don’t miss this charming spot! Good for couples, friends, or families.

Lovely wooden Japanese guest house - oozing a feeling of Japanese history - located in a great part of town with easy access to the ski runs and shops - clean and basic traditional Japanese rooms - with its own small guest house onsen on the ground floor - managed by a delightful family, that go out of their way to make you feel at home and to offer you assistance whatever the request. Simple but delicious Japanese breakfast in traditional setting. A hidden gem of authentic Japan. Will go back...

The wifi did not work immediately (showed as connected but was not) but then decided to connect of its own accord after a few hours. I could not get the heating to work in my room on the first night but it was quickly fixed for the second night. For both issues the hotel staff could not have tried harder to help me fix them, rebotting routers and carrying portable heaters to my room. They really went above and beyond.

A lovely traditional Ryokan right in the middle of Nozawa main village a short walk from to the Yu-Road escalator which takes you straight up to the ski area. The hosts are lovely people and the traditional breakfast was delicious. It also has it's own onsen.

It is a very old traditional timber building so privacy between rooms is not the best and it does get cold if you don't leave the air-conditioning on.

Excellent location, friendly staff and delicious breakfast. Short walk to either gondola and close to the bus from iiyama station. Right off the main street so easy to walk to bars, restaurants etc

Very large room, perfect location to watch the Autumn festival from the window, right next to public onsen

Breakfast could be slightly better when compared with more high-end ryokan I guess, but with such a low price it is already very good

The staff are friendly and helpful.

The property is quite dated and doesn’t have heating function so the whole building was very cold during our stay (Dec 2024). The room wasn’t warm at all and the aircon that blew out hot air alternated between on and off. It was pretty unbearable when you want to seek some warmth from the cold outside and found none in your accommodation. The saving grace is that the staff gave us more beddings which managed to keep us warm during our sleep.
