The breakfast was excellent. The owner and staff were helpful and would discuss what was happening with the guests. There was packaged food and drinks that you could buy and make yourself in the building if you did not want to go out to dinner. The views were great across the lake. The breakfast area was also available along with a lounge with lake views.

In the off seasons between Summer and winter arriving by train limited dinner options as many of the restaurants were closed. The owner offered to drive us to a restaurant but after two weeks eating out, staying at the resort was a nice change.

It was lovely to wake up to beautiful Lake Nojiri right outside our huge balcony window. There was gorgeous view of the surrounding mountains as well. Our room was spacious and beds were comfortable. The attached bath was so convenient and water pressure in the shower was very good. The breakfast was ample with a variety of breads, fruit, yogurt, juices and delicious eggs made to order! Coffee, tea, snacks always available. We enjoyed chatting in the lounge area where sofas faced the lakeside, always enjoying the view. The staff was very helpful giving us tips of places to go, places to eat and interesting stories of this enchanted place. We ate some delicious meals in many little “ mom and pop” restaurants! We enjoyed driving around the lake, even got stuck on the side of a narrow road. But, with Ted’s help, especially his contacts and his fluency in speaking Japanese, we were helped by a local tow truck in no time. We took advantage of a large ferry which tours the lake and stops briefly at the island. So very scenic. All in all a memorable experience!

Peaceful location with a spacious room and comfortable bed - finally a bed that fit my 6 foot 2 inch husband. Gorgeous lake view from our balcony and plenty of hiking opportunities. Quick train ride to Nagano for any attractions and then back to peace and quiet on the lake. Ted was an amazing host. So down to earth and inviting, and always willing to help with any plans. Plus he makes a great breakfast. Exceeded our expectations!! Could spend weeks here. Would love to go back!

We happened to stay there when most of the restaurants in town were closed.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! Everything exceeded my expectations — the room was spotless, the bed was comfortable, and the service was outstanding. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The location was perfect, with a beautiful lake view. I also really enjoyed the breakfast — it was delicious and of great quality. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Nothing

It was great intimate location with only a few families staying at the time. A couple of communal area options to chat, share a drink or a game. Ted and team were all willing to help with ideas and share local stories. Always amazing to wake up next to the water!

It was advertised that there was a cafe onsite, which had not been operational for some time. Some parts of the property were a little tired and could do with a refresh.

The resort sits on the beautiful glacial lake. Great for Winter and Summer activities. Our room overlooking the lake had a Japanese feel but was very spacious. The bed was very comfortable and the pillows were great! Although the bathroom was on the small side it was clean and functional. Ted the owner was friendly and happy to share his knowledge of the local area.

I missed not having a kettle in the room but we were free to help ourselves to complimentary tea, coffee and microwave downstairs. There is not a lot of dining options in the area but the local convenience store stocked a good variety of meals to choose from. The local restaurants were not open on our Tuesday night stay.

We had a great , relaxing family getaway at Nojiri Lake Resort. Ted and his staff were excellent hosts and really made our stay a memorable one. Breakfast was excellent and Ted also prepared a vegetarian dinner upon our request. The Resort offers a beautiful view of the Nojiri Lake with the majestic mountains surrounding it. We would definitely love to come back again, perhaps during the summer.

Ted and his team are delightful. We had a lovely time at beautiful, eclectic Lake Nojiri. It's a hidden gem close to more ski fields than 10 days could do justice. Breakfast was great and kept us going most of the day.

It would be good if there were a few more places to eat in Lake Nojiri town that were open in winter. Arrowhead is great, so is the Lamp and 'djuka' on the highway near the ubiquitous 7.11. Ted's team are about to trial dinner - best wishes with that as it would be a great addition.

Friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere. Spacious clean rooms with built in balcony and nice view. A good terrace downstairs with chairs, tables and parasols. Usually a nice breez, so it is comfortable to sit there in the evenings.

There was nothing I disliked, but a few adjustable camping reclining chairs on the terrace would have made it an even more attractive place to sit and reed books in the evenings. Unfortunately there are not many places within walking distance to eat in the evening. There is an Italian one 5 minutes walk down the road, which closes at 20.00. However there may be some a little farther away.

Great location for the Myoko snow resorts. Beautiful outlook. Fantastic staff. Flawless stay. The access to a microwave, toaster and kettle was a life saver as there isn’t many local dinner options. 7/11 dinners did the job! Breakfast daily was great. Honestly couldn’t fault our stay. Thanks for having us Ted & team!
