Our stay at Nozawa Dream exceeded our expectations with respect to the staff, facilities and location. This was our first stay in Nozawa Onsen and we had an easy walk from the Shinden bus stop, up the hill to Nozawa Dream. The information pack received from Nozawa Dream before our stay was so clear with its directions and information, this helped with our arrival. When I first booked the accommodation, I did not have a clear picture of the bathroom facilities and was a little anxious about how we would be washing throughout our stay . . . In reality there are three toilet cubicles for females and two for males, both with wash basins outside the bathrooms, located upstairs where the bedrooms are. Then downstairs, there are separate showering rooms for females and males. The female shower room has three showers in it (one with a privacy curtain) and an onsen. On each night that I used the showering room, I had it all to myself. My husband and son had the same experience with the male shower room. The breakfast is on offer from 7:30-9:00am with a good range of options. This is a shared space with other guests and you sit on the tatami mats. The staff were always so busy with replenishing the eggs, bread, juice, coffee etc. Nozawa Dream was an easy walk from the village centre, as well as from the Nagasaki Gondola area, and also to the Kongo Night Market for dinner, we found the location very convenient. We enjoyed chatting to the staff and other guests in the shared lounge area, where we could treat ourselves to a hot chocolate at the end of the day. Thanks Nozawa Dream, we had a great stay! On a different note, if you are looking for ski lessons, Javier from Kaizen Ski School was amazing and I found his details via the Nozawa Dream information pack.

Via Booking.com, this was a pay up-front, non-refundable booking.

location. value for money.

nothing

Very nice and welcoming staff, friendly feel, can walk to slopes, bus stop, several onsens. Sat night was more quiet than expected.

Shared showers and bathrooms, but clean.

very friendly and welcoming team

The staff were incredibly friendly, offering great advice about what to do in the area, and they even let us check in early. The breakfast buffet was very delicious, and had plenty of options for all dietary requirements.

Breakfast was fantastic! The lodge is very nice and within walking distance to the slopes, as well as many Hot Springs throughout. It is about 5 minutes walking distance to the main street with lots of restaurants. The hosts are wonderful, very friendly and accommodating. We loved our stay there and highly recommend! Covered parking was just a few minutes away and perfect for the snowy conditions.

super clean, and well nutrition balanced breakfast with a lot of choice. warm in every corner. staffs are really helpful.

Excellent breakfast & lovely hosts, close to bus stop and the slopes, but best to leave your skis and boots at the station for walking more comfortably back and forth to the accommodation.
