This hotel is an absolute gem. Do not hesitate to book your skiing holiday here. The rooms are extremely comfortable. The bathrooms are immaculate and equipped with everything you need for your stay. We loved the private onsen on site, the perfect place to relax after a day of skiing. The staff could not have been more helpful and welcoming - thank you for all your help, including organising our lift passes and sending out luggage to our next location. Do not miss the incredible Japanese breakfast. Every day was a different set and the whole family loved every dish. The best was to start the day. The location of the hotel is excellent. It’s only a short walk to the Yu moving road. We rented our skis at Olive ski rental and were able to leave our boots and skis at the bottom of the lift every day. We can’t wait to come back to Azegamikan and Nozawa Onsen - it was the best place for a family ski trip.

We are a family of 5 who stayed for 7 nights in early January. Our room was immaculately clean and the beds were the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in when travelling away from home. This is traditional Japanese accommodation and I was worried about the shared shower facility but it was no problem at all. We enjoyed a superb breakfast and dinner experience and we highly recommend - come with an appetite! Also, if your are hiring ski equipment head to Olive Rentals who are at top of the Yu Road walkway which is very close to Azegamikan (let them know that’s where you are staying for discount).All round excellent facilities operated by a family who are wonderful hosts.

We ordered the Japanese breakfast every morning and it was exceptional. Highly recommend including breakfast at Azegamikan - you will not be disappointed. The family room is spacious for four people, and well equipped with tv, fridge and wifi. Lovely views over Nozawa Onsen from our room and from the dining room.

Everything about our stay was perfect. The family were super helpful, and we loved learning about their legacy in the village. And the bonus was the location, only minutes walk to the Yu Road, which was particularly convenient for my 80 yr old father.

This was a cute and cosy place to stay. The view of the village from the accommodation was amazing. There is a wonderful onsen located inside the accommodation which we used everyday! The loft style room was great because we had room to put our suitcases and sit about downstairs. It's very close to Yu road which takes you to the ski fields. The staff member who checked us in was very helpful! Would definitely stay here again.

The bathroom were shared. This wasn't really an issue as everything was very clean but just something to keep in mind. The price was a bit expensive as well.

The location is perfect to trot up to the slopes. Beautiful spot for sunrise and sunset is immaculate over the town. The private onsen is great to relax in! Having the downstairs room with a bathroom basically to yourselves was great. The shared shower facilities were easy to navigate. The staff were very friendly and even offered to pick us up and drop us off to the bus but we preferred the little hike - be prepared it’s pretty steep.

Unfortunately the heater in the family room on level one still smells extremely gas like. It was unbearable but thankfully the wonderful owner bought us a bar heater to keep warm. It did the job and wasn’t too hot or too cold.

The room we had was very big and well equipped with mini fridge, kettle, seating area etc. it was very comfortable to relax in after a day of skiing. Was super close to the Yu road but if you’re renting gear, then to utilise the Yu road you should rent from hikage station not nagasaka as we did!

There was a sheet to book either the shower or bath to use at half an hour increments. We were there in a time where it wasn’t too busy but I could see this being annoying if it was super full.

Short walk to Yu Road, which gives easy access to the slopes and Hikage ski base. Room and facilities spacious, clean and very comfortable, even soundproof. They have an onsen that we can reserve and use privately, and bath supplies to take out if we wish to use one of the many public onsens. Owners and staff very nice and accommodating. Even though we didn't speak any Japanese, we managed to get by with Google translate.

It is located on one side of the main town, so a bit more of a walk to get to the other end, but everything is within walking distance anyway.

The breakfasts were exceptional! Fresh, local healthy food. Traditional Japanese breakfast. Varied from day to day. Excellent service. One night we were offered a dinner in the hotel, which is not offered every night. It was one of the best meals we had during our 16 days in Japan! Kaiseki, with an emphasis on local ingredients. And very inexpensive.

It would have been fun to have a bigger onsen experience on site. Small room with a maximum capacity of two. But there are many public onsen in town.

This property was fantastic. It is a perfect location and the room was great. When booking this property, we were unsure about the shared bathroom however the facilities were always very clean and available (and it didn’t impact our stay). The staff were very friendly and helpful - the perfect place to enjoy Christmas Day.

The breakfast daily was exceptional with choices of Japanese or Western Breakfast, they were both beyond amazing. The private onsen on site was a must each afternoon after skiing and well organised with time slots of half hourly. The location was good for many reasons - short walk to the moving walkway to access the ski area in the mornings and home again in the afternoon. Short walk to the main area of town and easy to navigate the area. Our hosts were also amazing, the property was spotless.

Lots of stairs internally although not a huge problem for us.
