Really enjoyed our stay for a week of skiing. Close to town centre, good breakfast & very helpful owner. Rooms are Japanese style with bathrooms on same level, and relaxing onsen. No common area apart from breakfast room, but plenty of good bars nearby. We'll be back! 

Fantastic place- great location & staff

This lodge with classic Japanese style tatami room with kotatsu (heated coffee table with duvet) is super conveniently located: 5 minute walk from bus terminal, 10 minute (walk + escalator) from ski resort, and half a block away from the main street with nice bars, restaurants, cafes and stores. There are 3 public "onsen" (hot spring baths) within a few minutes walk as well.
I booked last minute with no breakfast or dinner but the family running this lodge was very kind and hospitable.
They have discount lift ticket deal (for Nozawa Onsen Ski Resort) so better to buy at the lodge (especially if you're taking the long escalator up to the ski resort).

Conveniently located casual and cozy stay

Although I had a map, I didn't see a sign for Chochinya in English, and I entered what I thought was the place, and it turned out to be someone's private home :)  I really startled the owner who has just woken up from his nap!  

My room at Chochinya was traditional--tatami mats, a table with cushions for seating, a tv and futons/comforter for sleeping.  The windows open on two sides of the room for fresh air and I could hear the hotsprings trickling down the streeets.  It was quiet, but not a place where I could unwind well at night after onsen hopping and walking alot because there weren't the right kind of pillows or seating to sit up comfortably.  However, I'm in my 60's, so nothing is comfortable for long!  Also, a small fridge would have been preferred to a tv.  My only major gripe was the awful smelling air freshener in the bathroom.  

The Japanese breakfast was hearty--soft boiled egg, vegetables, steamed rice, a piece of perfectly fried fish, miso soup, ok coffee and tea.  The family who runs the guest house are helpful and also give you your space to come and go as you please.

While it appears somewhat high-priced for a basic Japanese-style room where toilets, bath and sinks are shared,  the hotels in Nozawa all seem quite highly priced compared to what I was able to get value-wise in other places in Japan.

Clean, Japanese Style Room with Shared Facilities

It is just round the corner from Chou Bus terminal.
Use the map from the Nozawa Onsen Busliner and you can locate it.
It is small and cosy with shared toilets and washbasins. A single onsen that can be locked from inside.
Breakfast provided.
Heater in the room .
A short walk to the Yu Road walkalator and Yuzawa Shrine.
The walkalator  leads to Hikage slopes and gondola where there is a kids area to practice skiing with the help of 2 magic carpets_ very usefull for brginners.
