Situated within 32 km of Jigokudani Monkey Park and 41 km of Suzaka City Zoo, Shinazawa features rooms with air conditioning and a shared bathroom in Nozawa Onsen. Featuring free private parking, the 2-star guest house is 21 km from Ryuoo Ski Park. The guest house has family rooms.

The accommodation is lovely, with spacious rooms, comfy tatami beds, and traditional pyjamas provided. The staff is super friendly and the breakfast is excellent. There's an onsen onsite and other options nearby. An excellent dinner is available at a reasonable price. Also, Tommy's Burger is across the street. I read that some people commented on the location not being good. I'm not too sure what they were expecting. It's only a 15-10 minute walk from the ski field, and some equipment providers let you store your gear at the base, so it's a pretty easy walk. I highly recommend this accommodation and would definitely stay there again.

Rooms at Nozawaonsen Guest House Miyazawa are fitted with traditional tatami (woven-straw) flooring and futon bedding, and come with a TV and a heater. Bathroom and toilet are shared. Bath towels and yukata robes can be rented.

It had everything you needed. The toilets and showers were so clean at any time day or night. Breakfast for 500 yen was a great start to the day. Then you had dinner which was all you could eat which cost us around $30 Australian dollars for 2 adults. Our kids are free as they are under 6 years old. It had ski hire, free washing machine and dryer. Great location a short 5 minute walk to the main gondola to ski the mountains. The owner and staff were fantastic and very attentive and helped with everything we asked. Totally recommend

Just a 1-minute walk from Nozawa Onsen Ski Resort, Fureai No Yado Yasuragi has free Wi-Fi throughout and offers nature and craft experiences. Japanese cuisine is served at the dining room, and parking is free (reservation required).

Breakfast and dinner are served at the dining room.

Located just next to Gondola station . Owners of the property are very kind and helpful, including book restaurants for dinner. Though having a small Onsen, the size is sufficient for me for soaking after a day of skiing. Breakfast is good.

3.6 km from Lake Hokuryuko, Villa Kubota is situated in Nozawa Onsen and features free WiFi in shared areas and Japanese cuisine. Popular points of interest nearby include Nozawa Onsen which is 2.5 km from the property.

Guest rooms in the inn are equipped with a flat-screen TV. The private bathroom is fitted with free toiletries. All units will provide guests with a shared bathroom with a bath.

The offered breakfast for Y1,000 was fantastic. Filling and a range of Japanese breakfast offerings. Location was good, with a bus stop right on the corner of the hotel location. Bus could take us into the city centre or up to the snow lifts but stops at 5pm, keep that in mind. Host was fantastic, always friendly and helpful service.

    This lodge style accommodation was great for our family of four, with two teenage boys. Amazing full breakfast served each morning, mix of traditional and western style options. Small private Onsen bath for use of guests. Easy walk to various public Onsen. Easy walk to restaurants and convenience stores. Our host was a delight. Very helpful, and when my son hurt his knee snowboarding, she was very helpful in arranging transport for us. Shared common room with couch and table where we could eat take-away meals. Drying room downstairs.

    The Villa was fantastic..great facilities, always clean. great location in centre of town, walking distance to everywhere including ski slopes. the family run Villa was endearing and the hosts loved chatting and helping the guests. The Villa was in a quiet spot and just across the road from an Onsen.. The family were very kind to us and made our stay special. I would book again

    Beautiful family run, traditional style guest house. The hosts were extremely helpful during our stay. The whole place was very clean, with a nice Onsen and drying room down stairs too. Location is close to the Karasawa lift, and a manageable ~15 minute walk into the main street - although there are places to eat closer.

    Our room was amazing - super spacious, beautiful views, authentic Japanese feel with futons and tatami mats and the temperature was perfect. The location was also impeccable - 2 minute walk to the ski resort and ~5 minute walk to many cafes/restaurants/onsens etc. Nice and spacious communal area with comfortable couches and lovely views. The Japanese hosts were very friendly and helpful. There were no regular private showers but instead a public bath on site - lovely after a cold day skiing. It was also very quiet.
