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.

Honestly couldn’t have booked better accom for our boys trip week in Nozawa Onsen. Located 100m from the main gondola and a short walk downhill into town. 3 of us stayed in the family room and stacked two futons ontop of each other for a comfortable sleep. The shared bathroom was better than I expected with a showers and a hot tub that squeezed all 3 of us in… Ski lockers and drying rooms downstairs was great too. Highly recommend

Our hosts Mika and Lucy were so sweet and kind. The lodge is perfectly situated near many restaurants, a 10 minute walk to the mountain and near the bus station. They serve a Japanese or Western breakfast for a great price. The lodge is exceptionally clean. The futon style mattresses were very comfy. We will definitely stay here again!

    Wonderful stay, host was very welcoming and accommodating and assisted with making bookings, getting lift tickets, and recommending where to eat. The breakfast at the property is exceptional value and the fresh fruit that was included was very welcome and delicious. The Onsen at the property was also very convenient, as was the robe provided. 15min walk into the centre of town, and 4 mins to the closest ski lift. I would recommend this property and stay again.

    Great location! Close to O-Yu st, there’s a bar across the road, and Totarina and Jiyu Gekijo, two excellent little restaurants are minutes away. The hotel is very clean with excellent hosts. Beautiful little garden on the path down to the entrance. Great Onsen 30m away and a very nice “bath” (really a mini Onsen) in the hotel as well. And do try the Japanese breakfast. All in all, amazing value and really can’t be faulted.

    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.

    The hotel is cosy, rooms are charming and having the toilet there was very convenient. The location is good, not too far from the center of the village. We had a car and there was a parking lot across the street from the hotel. The hosts are kind and helpful, they changed my room when I requested because the first one was on the street side and we could hear the cars. The bathroom is shared, japanese style with onsen, and it was warm and clean. Both times I went, it was empty so just me. Very good value for money!

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
