Shared onsen /bathroom with no sign for occupied, however could time with our friends for separate bath times. Breakfast was not early enough for first day ski equipment hire and classes therefore we had to get our own breakfast

Lift, heater in rooms, security safe, futon with warm quilts. Helpful owner who had time to drive us to near sports thanx and pickup from bus stop

Breakfast a pit plain, toilet smells as the house is dated. Location close to the lift but far from the town center, so lack of dinner options.

Futon bed very comfortable, onsite Japanese onsen was set to perfect temperature, make a good recovery after a day on the slopes. Very good value considering the price.

Everything about this location is amazing. Looking forward to the next time I can come back to stay here. The onsen in the basement was especially awesome. The rooms were spacious and sunny.

I enjoyed everything about this stay. The room was very cozy, and their was an onsen inside the guest house as well. The main thing I wanna point out is the service - Kadowaki-san was such a fantastic host, helping with gear rental, recommendations, and general inquiries. It was very nice to talk to as well and very efficient with Google Translator :D. I was in Japan for 2 weeks, and this was by ease the best place I stayed at. Will definitely be back to this place and highly recommend it.

Nothing, this property exceeded expectations.

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.

Some may find the shared bathroom an issue, but I found it an easy over look.

The host and dinner were highlights. The proximity to the ski lift was amazing. In-house onsen was perfect after snowboarding all day.

I liked everything. It is possibly getting a little ‘tired’ if you like everything modern and up-to-date, but great value

Lovely big room with a great view, nice onsen, proprietor very kind and helpful

A little far from the main ski gondola (it’s close to another ski lift) but not a big issue.

Friendly hosts, comfortable room, amazing breakfast, great location.

We liked it all.

The Japanese breakfast was delicious. Moreover, the onsen was very relaxing after skiing. The owner is the best, helped us guide to amazing restaurant, booked a skipass with a discount and brought us to the bus stop. Highly recommended!

The owner was so generous and helpful with his time. He picked us up from the bus and dropped us back when leaving. He was so kind and thoughtful, helping us with great restaurant options for our young family, giving us a lift to hire ski gear. We had a fabulous stay and can't rate everything highly enough. Thank you so much!

Stench in the toilets.

Great and friendly service. Host Yasuo-san goes above and beyond to make us feel comfortable.

Couldn't find a shower onsite. Need to use onsen baths instead. Bathroom a little dated. Breakfast selection was limited but good value.

Very close to ski lifts, quiet area, on-site onsen, super friendly and helpful staff, got picked up and dropped off to bus terminal, discounted ski tickets.

Kadowakikan was excellent value for money for a 4 night stay in Nozawa Onsen. The owner was extremely helpful with information and recommendations, plus discounted lift tickets. It was easily accessible to the quad lift to access the whole ski resort. The Japanese-style room was large, quiet and clean, with a safe for valuables, plus a beautiful view of the mountains. Thank you for a lovely stay

This was my second visit to Kadowakikan and Is my favorite ryokan in all of Japan! The hosts are lovely, very helpful and will do everything they can to make your visit perfect! They were even nice enough to meet me at the bus stop to take me up to the ryokan. The room I booked was a single and was a very generous size for one person with panoramic views of the town and mountains. Kadowakikan has a small but relaxing onsen in the basement which I used every day. The local public onsen around the corner is also excellent. There are many restaurants and bars, and several cafes within a few minutes walk. If you are skiing or boarding, the closest chair lift is a few minutes walk up the hill. As before, I can't wait to return again!

Nothing, such good value.

Such a beautiful location! Our second time staying here. The traditional Japanese rooms were comfortable and cozy but most of all you will be greeted by the best host you could ever ask for, such a wonderful man & really makes staying here a great experience. We had a 1 year old baby with us & we were made to feel so welcomed! The onsen is a bonus and perfect after a day on the slopes & the breakfast is the best value you will find in town.

It’s a bit oldish

The host was incredibly helpful and kind with us

This is a definite yes! The owners are so helpful and welcoming. I was a bit uneasy with it being our first time to Japan, arriving late at night in the cold after a long travel from the U.S. The owner graciously picked us up at the bus stop and even dropped us at a restaurant that was still open so we could have a hot meal. We felt right at home and our accommodations were very comfortable. Lots of special touches such as a tea kettle and cookies in the room. Robes, towels and slippers included. The breakfast was quite good as well. Everything is very clean. We loved the location and the Onsen downstairs. Everyone was super nice, a great value, and we would definitely stay here again. Book it!

Nothing, I thought the property was great.

Host was terrific, really helpful and friendly. He showed us the best routes to take on the mountain, offered discounted ski lift tickets, suggested some great cafes and restaurants, and nearby public onsen. He even drove us to the bus stop at the end of our stay. Rooms are large traditional Japanese style futons with tatami floors and very clean. Location is also really great - it’s a short walk into town, and from there not far to the ski lifts. There’s a free shuttle as well nearby which will take you directly to the ski lifts if you don’t want to walk or have your gear.
