Nozawa Onsen

Residence Yasushi features free WiFi throughout the property and views of mountain in Nozawa Onsen. 2.8 km from Lake Hokuryuko, the property provides a ski pass sales point, as well as a shared lounge. Staff on site can arrange airport transfers upon prior request.

Hot spring bath is available for private use. Guests at the accommodation will be able to enjoy activities in and around Nozawa Onsen, like skiing, hiking and snowshoeing. The accommodation is really cozy , I love especially the dinning area and living space which you could drop by anytime for coffee or some snacks. I think this is really a thoughtful arrangement for a ski trip.

Shibu Onsen Koishiya Ryokan 3 stars

Shibu Onsen, Yamanouchi

Located in the historical Shibu Onsen district, 渋温泉小石屋旅館 offers both private and dormitory-style guest rooms as well as an on-site restaurant where local dishes, wines and craft beers are available.

There is no Onsen・Bath in 渋温泉小石屋旅館, however, staying guests at 渋温泉小石屋旅館 can enjoy 9 public baths in Shibu onsen(free). There are 2 shower rooms in 渋温泉小石屋旅館. Old style ryokan, it's very well preserved and taken care of (clean, tidy...). The only thing that exceeds the quality of the installations is the kindness and professionality of its staff. I have already came here twice and next time I'm nearby Yudanaka will for sure stay again here.

Hotel Fuki no Mori 3 stars

Nagiso

The spacious rooms at Fuki no Mori Hotel come with private bathrooms with free toiletries. All rooms have traditional decors, a seating area and a balcony with views. Most rooms have tatami (woven-straw) flooring with futon bedding. A beautiful luxury hotel set in forest outside Tsumago, with hotel shuttle bus access. Everything was perfect- from the warm welcome, being conducted to our room, shown the onsen and dining room, where breakfast and dinner were exceptional (in Keisei style and well worth the additional charge). It was a most relaxing stay after our Magome to Tsumago walk- 6 hours in drenching rain- but still very beautiful to be again on this marvellous walk.

Oshi Ryokan 2 stars

Nagano

Guests sleep in Japanese-style rooms located in annex buildings. Fitted with tatami (woven-straw) flooring and futon bedding, the rooms feature a flat-screen TV and a seating area with a low table. Bathroom is shared with other guests. Oshi Ryokan welcomed me with an authentic beauty of the building and the people. The location is almost right next to the shrine and the bus stop. The ryokan facilities are amazing: beautiful Japanese style room with a warm kotatsu table and fluffy futon to snuggle in, and a big tub of hot water that you can soak your whole body in it. There are also many Japanese traditional rooms and small elements to admire. If you are into Japanese aesthetics, you’ll be in awe. The service is excellent. Everyone is so hospitable and kind. I recommend booking with meals. You won’t be disappointed with the food and the service. Every dishes was very well-prepared and delicious. The dining room, plates, cups, glassware, and all details on the table was beautifully arranged. It’s not very often that eating can make me feel like art administration and I was very well pampered. I’m very grateful for the experience. I hope to be back exploring Togakuchi and stay at Oshi Ryokan again. Until that time, I’ll cherish this memory.

Yudanaka Onsen Yamazakiya 3 stars

Shibu Onsen, Yamanouchi

The air-conditioned rooms feature tatami (woven-straw) floors and Japanese futon bedding. Each room comes with a TV, a fridge and an electric kettle with green tea bags. Japanese Yukata robes are provided and guests can enjoy views of the river or of the traditional stone-paved streets. Bathrooms and toilets are shared. This traditional ryokan is incredible and Akira-san and his mother, Yumi-san made our experience unforgettable. They were both very welcoming and thoughtful. Akira-san's English is very good and he also taught us how to speak Japanese language and culture. Yumi-san didn't speak English but still made us feel welcome. She taught us how to tie our Yukata and cut us fresh persimmon and apples as a parting gift. The private onsens at the Ryokan are clean and relaxing. They also provide the local public Onsen key (which aren't as nice as the ryokan private onsen). The room is super spacious with traditional tatami mats and a gorgeous view of the waterfall and town.
