Traditional lodge run by a lovely couple. Rooms are traditional with tatami and futons and even a kotatsu for those chilly nights! The rooms are a good size even for the twin room, plenty of space of 2 large suitcases. Definitely get the home cooked Japanese breakfast, it is delicious and changes everyday. High speed wifi, plenty of toilets, tea, coffee all provided. The location is perfect too, 1 min walk from Shinden bus stop and Shinden public onsen, 5 min walk to Nozawa town centre, 3 mins walk to the Chuo terminal bus stop (important when heading back to Iiyama station because the buses can skip Shinden if it’s crowded), 15 min walk to Nagasaka Gondola station and 10 min walk to Karasawa chair lift. We rented our gear from Nagasaka Sports Thanx but left them at the Karasawa Sports Thanx - it’s a much easier and shorter walk from the accomodation. We absolutely loved this place and I would definitely stay here again when I’m next in Nozawa Onsen

Only downside is the restricted shower times - bath/shower limited to 430-730pm for males, 730-1030pm for females. We worked around it by going to the onsens (highly recommend Furusato-no-Yu (paid)), closest free public onsen is 1min walk.

clean and good location

beautiful property, great location and host.

Excellent location, lovely owners and amazing breakfast! Rooms were very cute and surprisingly warm. Close to several onsens, town and the ski slopes.

Really simple, pretty lodging. Only complaint was I'm a tall person and the futon style bed was waaay to tiny for me, woke up sore each night trying to stay warm without running the heater all night

Breakfast was really great every morning . Fantastic way to start the day before hitting the slopes. Minshuku was really really near the shuttle bus pickup and drop off. Cos you board the bus before the busier spots , there's always space !

The room was super comfortable with maximum privacy.
