Nozawaonsen, Shimotakai District: soggiorni in B&B

Excellent location and the rooms were clean and cosy. The bed was very comfortable which we were happy with as we all slept very well. There is only one shower if you don’t want to use the Onsen however we never had an issue with this or had to wait. They also accommodated our dietary requirements for breakfast 😊

Yumi and Brad have turned a tired hotel into a great little place that offers Western style service while maintaining the charm of small mountain village family inn. Room was Japanese style with a big queen size bed. Could easily sleep 5 people making the value very good. Breakfast was simple but filling. Great little bar downstairs with live music 3 nights a week. The best part of Yumi's place is the location. Right smack in the center of town. Not a lot to do, but it's a great place for a few days. Oh. And the skiing is world class! Just a short walk to the people mover and the hill is yours. Hit the hot spring baths around town after a ski and you will know why Japan is so magical! I'll be back!

Yoshi and Seongmi were so friendly and had great recommendations for the area. The room was really comfy and we had everything we needed for our stay.

Michiko and Miho's place is wonderful. it's essentially a snowboarding hostel run by the family, and has all the charm you could ask for. every breakfast and dinner is prepared, and is AMAZING. everyone gathers in the cafeteria, and after all the guests are fed, the family and staff all eat together. it all feels extremely genuine and unique, especially because it's primarily Japanese guests who stay there. they even provided rental gear, and arranged a ride to nozawa with a resident snowboarding instructor. I'd recommend this stay to anyone looking for a unique and wholesome excursion out of the major cities.

I felt so lucky to have booked a room at Ado’s place. He was available at all time to assist and went above and beyond to help me after I had a bad injury on the 2nd day of my ski trip. He helped me move around, stay an extra night and also helped me get to my bus stop with all my luggage. I’d 100% stay here again knowing the service level.

Klabbe was of great help to us! incredibly helpful and accommodating!

Karen and Greg went way beyond our expectations. Their place felt like being home away from home. My friends and I visited for a ski trip and they were extremely knowledgable on all the ski resorts in the area. Not only that, but they were available 24/7 if we had questions. Greg even went out of his way to pick us up when we got lost and missed our shuttle back to the lodge. Not only that, but the home and the location was very convenient. The free shuttle to the mountains were steps away from the lodge and our room was very beautiful. They provided us a delicious breakfast each morning and made sure we were always stocked up on supplies. This is an amazing place to stay and Karen and Greg are wonderful hosts!

Justin place is cozy place with friendly and helpful staff, love heated floor at main area however we noticed some odor at room. Otherwise it is a great location, a decent breakfast and a lot of Beatles music that we love

John and Tracey are the definitive standard of AirBnB. They made everything very easy and fun. I could not recommend and stay that is better than this. If you plan to do any winter holidays in Japan, you cannot go wrong with John and Tracey.

My wife and I stayed at Bears lodge for our ski trip to Hakuba and had a really great experience. Everyone was incredibly friendly and happy to help with anything we needed. They went above and beyond picking us up and dropping us off at the bus terminal on arrival and departure. I would describe this home as a bed and breakfast style stay. You will be around others in closer proximity than you would a hotel but everyone is separated for their privacy with lockable rooms and plenty of space (considering you’re in Japan). We also used the TA-Q-BIN delivery service to send our skis which they graciously accepted before our arrival and had them waiting for us in our room. The lodge is also very conveniently located in the center of echoland with plenty of walkable restaurants and bars around as well as in very close proximity to the bus stops that pick you up and drop you off right at the base of whichever mountain you are looking to ski that day. There’s also a secure dry room for skis.

A place where you can slow down…the space was warm, cozy, clean and friendly . The area was small and yet vast with mountains all around and apple orchards for days. This place makes you feel alive and yet so quiet and peaceful. Thank you for the stay and all the wealth of knowledge and care for making my stay feel like home :) I will be back again :) and recommend to those who want to slow down :)

非常愉快的入住体验，店主人很好，给我们提供了很好的介绍，书包袋子断了，还借给我们针线。如果你来轻井泽，请一定来找Akiko哦！

Leticia made us feel like a guest. She personally picked us up from Hakuba Station with Pedro and showed us our room and the amenities. She made us coffee and breakfast each day. She’s half Japanese/Brazillian and served an amazing brazillian breakfast each day. There was a massage chair in the common area along with tea. We caught the free shuttle from the Jaja convenience store to the snow a few doors down which was easy. Highly recommend. Note there is a bar downstairs below the accommodation open until 10am.

Great lodge, good location close to town. Comfortable stay. Only feedback is that the mattresses are very hard which can make for an uncomfortable stay after a few nights

とてもいい時間を過ごすことができました！ チェックイン時間を調整頂いたりなど柔軟な対応をしていただきとても親切な方でした。 施設もとてもキレイで共有スペースも日本文化を楽しめる雰囲気でとても良かったです。 また是非利用したいと思います。
