The location was ideal as it was just a minute away from both rentals and the gondola. The beds were comfortable and the breakfast was delicious every morning. The staff was also very friendly and accommodating any time we needed anything. We will return there when we visit Nozawa Onsen next time.

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.

Resembling a cosy European ski hotel, Lodge Hahnenkamm offers direct skiing access to the Nozawa Onsen Ski Resort. The hotel is a 1-minute walk from a ski school, and ski rental shops are also nearby. Free Wi-Fi is available, and the property offers free early check-in and late check-out.

The Lodge is entirely smoke-free, and it features a lounge with a TV and nature views. Guests can unwind at the fireplace, or go hiking or canoeing in the vicinity.

The lodge was incredible. First the wonderful family who run the lodge contacted me to make sure they knew what time I was arriving in Nozawaonsen, they met me off the shuttle bus with their caterpillar car to drive me up to the lodge which is at the bottom of the slopes. Right to the door of the hotel. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and spoke brilliant English , my Japanese is really bad so this was a great help. They told me the safest ways down I to town and made sure I understood so I was safe. Each morning a beautiful breakfast was supplied. The views were breathtaking and the atmosphere was very homely. I got to know other guests very well. Which was lovely as I was traveling alone. When my last day came they made sure they knew what bus I was getting back to Iiyama station and drove me and my bags down the mountain again to the bus stop. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay. I really want to go back next year! Thank you so much for my lovely stay!

Set in Iiyama, 21 km from Ryuoo Ski Park and 31 km from Jigokudani Monkey Park, White Lodge Fukujuso offers mountain views and free WiFi.

A ski pass sales point, ski-to-door access and ski storage space are all offered at the lodge, and guests can go skiing in the surroundings.

Great little lodge with lots of charm. Clean, comfortable, and great location right at the base of the ski hill. If you want a smaller ski hill with the same snow as Nozawa, Togari is a good spot. Little onsen in the basement was nice too. We felt it was really good value here for the price. Gábor, the guy running it, was very friendly, and went above and beyond to help us find extra ski gear when we showed up lacking. Really saved my day on the hill!

    Small onsen directly at the lodge. Though check-in was at 3 pm, I could enter my room already at noon! :) Lovely view of the mountains from my room on the 3rd floor!

    The location was close and great for walking to everything and the accommodation was modern and clean. The lodge is run by a Japanese family and they were really helpful and friendly. We Loved the morning breakfast they made each morning. Bus stop just 50 meters away to free bus to ski resort. Highly recommended and will be coming back.

    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!
