We enjoyed our stay in the place that is run by an old couple. Room was clean and we opt for a toilet as well. The heater in the room was really good for winter season. Bathroom was shared with a small onsen however it felt a little insecure as once you open the door, you can see straight in the bathing area. 

The winter yukata provided was really cute as well. You can wear it out if you were to use the public bath outside. 

Breakfast was really nice and very Japanese style and you can help yourselves with the rice if you want as the leave the whole rice cooker there! 
They tried to change every morning to have some varieties. It is very limited to those who have dietary restrictions.

They don't speak English at all which can be difficult but it is great for those who wants to brush up their Japanese! 

For the location, it is very convenient and waking distance to all there main places. We walked up to the ski area every morning. It is also about 10mins walk to the bus station without going through any slope. 

Price was a bit steep during Feb but it is really nice if you would like to enjoy a Japanese style inn. The obasan was really sweet as she gave us a pack of snacks as we were about to leave the premise so that we can enjoy it in the bus. :)

 



Comfy stay

Good points:
- Couple who run the place are lovely and welcoming. The lady brought us up sliced apple and tea on our arrival and before we left. She also gave us two lollipops when we left just to top it off!
- The accommodation was clean and had a very nice traditional Japanese look/feel
- They have a drying room downstairs for your clothes and gear. The drying room also has free facilities to lock up your snowboard and/or skis
- Location was great in terms of seeing the town. A short walk from the Main Street and close to a number of onsens and food places - check out Nappa 78 cafe!

Things to consider: 
- The walk to and from the Nagasaka gondola is tough with ski gear, you don't want to be doing it for a long period of time. Consider renting from Nozawa Holidays as they have lockers near the base where you can store your gear. Be aware though that they have a 4 day minimum rental period over Christmas 
- Owners don't speak a lick of English so bring a phrase book. Although don't let this put you off if your Japanese is poor. My fiancé and I know how to say hello, goodbye, thank you and excuse me and we managed just fine
- Bedding consists of futons on the floor and wheat filled pillows - still quite comfortable but keep this in mind when deciding if this is the place for you 


Nice little Ryokan

The accomodation was basic (traditional Japanese, I.e. Very hard "beds"), nice & clean, with a good space allowance for a family of four. The shower & bath (hot spring) were basic but functional.

However it was very difficult to communicate with the owners - there is a heater in the room with no English at all. To find the place in Nozawa was pot luck as there is no English sign outside to indicate the name.

The ryokan is obviously used to Japanese visitors; but if you want to get international tourists in you have to do better than that, esp if you're asking over AUD500 for two nights in a single room.
