It was a bit nostalgic for me, smelling food being cooked reminded me of when I’d wake in the morning and my parents were cooking. The aroma of breakfast and dinner made me want to get out the bed and see what it was. Hot breakfast cooked by Jack was available, along with many cereal options, pastries, juices, and a toaster to self service. Fresh coffee which always makes my day! Breakfast was superb. Something different every morning and if I didn’t care for it, Jack offered to make me another option, which is very hospitable. There was also shuttle service to pick you up from bus station and to bring you to the Nagasaka Gondola. The drying/storage room for snowboarding/skiing gear was definitely a great option and it was great that each locker was designated for your room number. Overall, my stay was very excellent and the hosts are quite knowledgeable about the area. Will definitely stay there again.

Right in front of Nozawa Onsen Ski Resort, Lodge Denbey has an outdoor hot tub, a Western/Japanese restaurant and a ski rental shop. It offers Western rooms with beds and Japanese-style with traditional futon bedding.

Overall the best place we have stayed in Japan. The food was incredible and really well prepared. The staff were kind, welcoming and helpful. The onsen was amazing and didn’t mind they we had tattoos which was really nice and didn’t feel awkward about it. It gave a really nice family vibe however was also an exceptional well run lodge. Will 100% come back again, we keep comparing it the other places we have been and nothing compares.

    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.

    We really enjoyed our stay at Lodge Matsuya, the facilities are all very clean and comfortable and it was very reasonably priced. The Breakfast in particular was delicious and the hosts were so friendly and went out of their way to prepare a vegan Japanese breakfast for me which was amazing. The Lodge is also ideally located in the centre of town close to local restaurants and the onsen trail (a must try if you're in town). Highly recommend Lodge Matsuya. A real highlight of our Japan trip.

    The host couple were lovely and so friendly. It was nice to have a public Onsen just across the road and a small Onsen bath in the lodge.

    Perfectly located with easy acess to both the ski areas and the town. The gondola, ski hire, shops, restaurants, everything is a short, easy walk from the lodge. Awesome breakfast, wonderful staff. The room, beds and doonas were all incredibity comfortable. This is the perfect base for a skiing holiday to Nozawa Onsen.

    oved Uenoo Ski Lodge and the whole experience of Nozawa Onsen. The traditional room was larger than expected, warm and comfortable. The manager was helpful and friendly. It is a short walk to the ski lifts and into the main street, but separate enough to be quiet. A fabulous stay - thank you!
