Great location, right next to the ski resort . also walkable to center of town. Great breakfast and clean room and facilities. It was my first time in a Ryokan accomodation i thought the beds are a bit hard but i supposed thats normal for traditional setup for beds on the floor.

Right next to Gondola

Great ski-in ski-out location right next to the main gondola. Cozy building with onsen. About 5min walk to restaurants. Very efficient and pleasant stay. On check-out day parking only until 10am, so need to use day-trip lot.

Nozawa Onsen Kawahiro

Amazing location, great japanese breakfast right in front of the slopes. Sleeping on tatami mats was more confortable than expected. The town is amazing, but with the type of crowd it feels a little bit like Aspen or Jackson Hole in the US...great views of the valley and the sea from the top of the mountain.

The staff working here were excellent. Drying room is large and easy to access. We didn’t really use the Onsen since we wanted to try out some of the ones around town. The hallways are chilly, but this is completely acceptable in such a large building. We had a nice view from the room and plenty of space. Good temperature control in the room. Being right in front of the gondola was awesome. Breakfast was great.

We were welcomed warmly by the lovely hosts (good English speakers too which helped), even being allowed into our rooms (we just expected luggage drop) a few hours before check-in. Delicious Japanese and western breakfasts, clean and relaxing onsens. Location perfect, right next to slopes (handy in Spring when no snow in village but still a snowy outlook onto slopes), ski lifts (can buy lift tickets here) and shuttle to other ski lifts and ski school. Quick walk down to village for restaurants, shops and onsens. Uphill walk home was quick (the quicker the better to warm us up!). Rooms were traditional Japanese so only table and cushions and futons (a little thin, but there were ample doonas and cushions to pad up) on tatami mats which was a good traditional experience and we weren't hanging around in the room much (too much skiing, eating, shopping and bathing to do!). Next door to ski hire shop with discount for hotel guests. Craft beer bar and restaurants nearby. Would definitely stay here again. Hopefully return to Nozawa Onsen again very soon!

Location is awesome across from the main Nagasaka gondola. The rooms are very basic by western standards. The dining experience at the Ryokan is excellent. The owner and his son are very kind and helpful.

次回は別のところに宿泊します

初日の晩はせんべい敷布団一枚のみが襖の中に。翌朝腰が痛くて、もう一枚貰えるようにお願いしてなんとか二日目は。７：３０朝食の電話、その時には全ての部屋の全朝食がテーブルに、前日に ７：３０、８：００、８：３０の選択肢もなし。少しでも遅れていけば冷たい卵に冷たいトースト。なぜトースター置いて自分でトーストさせないのだろうか？なぜビュッフェのスクランブルエッグやベーコン、ハムのように保温状態で、客が座ってからサービングしないのか？友人の泊まったお迎えのホテル大滝（値段もさほど変わらず）はその逆で全て温かいものを食べさせたいというサービス。寒い時に冷たい食事は悲しかった。共同トイレの和式室は、尿のシミが床（なぜか壁紙のような素材）ににたくさんあって不衛生な印象。全館禁煙はありがたかった。無料wifiも好意的。

This lodge is literally 30 metres from the main gondola up the mountain. At lunchtime (which is a bargain at about 1000 yen for a huge bowl of noodles or rice with meat) you can ski straight to the door and walk in boots on. Onsen small but nice and staff were incredibly helpful. They have English speaking staff from overseas and even some very good English speakers in the restaurant serving area. Breakfast also very good, and despite them serving a traditional Japanese dinner we didn’t feel hungry enough after breakfast and lunch. Of course the rooms are tatami mats, and sleeping on the floor, but have safe, TV and small table with cushions for resting. It’s better to stay at the mountain and walk the 5-10 minutes into town without ski gear than the other way round. Would definitely stay here again.

ゲレンデ直近で便利！

長坂ゲレンデに面した宿でスキーに最適。宿の入口付近で荷物の積み下ろしが可能なので便利です。駐車場は宿の隣には2台程度であとは徒歩5分程度離れた場所になります。入浴時間が16時～22時と短いのが残念。朝風呂には入れません。エレベーターが無いので最上階（3階）だと少し大変。トイレは部屋にはありませんが、室外に共同トイレ（男女別）があちらこちらにありウォシュレットで快適です。朝食はビュッフェではありませんが普通のレベルでおいしいです。

鄰近雪場的好地點

旅店就在長坂纜車站旁十分便利！ 簡單、乾淨的日式傳統房間，洗手間維持得很乾淨，最棒的是有溫泉可泡！ 早餐分量對於滑雪的人來說，似乎有點少。如果可以增加一些蛋白質的食物將會更好。 唯一缺點是，某些地板會連動，如果就寢時旁邊房間有人走動，有時會牽動到榻榻米睡舖的地板。

ゲレンデ近くの、また宿泊したい宿

今回初めての野沢温泉スキー場利用の為に宿泊させていただきましたが、ゲレンデも目の前で大変便利な宿でした。 また、急な朝食時間の変更やレイトチェックアウトにも、迅速に、ご対応していただき大変助かりました。 ありがとうございました。 是非、来年もお世話になりたいと思います。
