“Good choice at Nozawaonsen”

Reviewed 24 March 2013

This is a ryokan mostly for ski resort users, but it is nicely located near the center of town and within walking distance from the bus stops. The décor in the lobby and dining area is slanted towards modern but the rooms are with tatami mats and in the usual ryokan style. The dinner was really good and came with... More

“LOVED IT”

Reviewed 21 March 2013

We both absolutely loved our stay in Kawamotoya. When we first arrived the ryokan was pretty busy ( I believe it was Japanese holidays) but all of the staff were very polite and if they weren't so confident in English, tried their best. The room was warm and pretty big, We found the futons to be comfortable, and we had... More

We stayed in Kawamotoya when it was not busy and it was absolutely wonderful! We never had to share the hotel's private onsen with anyone and it was a great experience.

Breakfast was included, good choice but the western food was often not hot.... More

“Generous sized room”

Reviewed 11 March 2013 via mobile

This has got to be the largest hotel room we've stayed in on our trip to Japan. We were mainly in Nozawa Onsen for some snowboarding action on the slopes. This hotel is considered luxurious when it comes to this traditional ski resort. We did book an ensuite room which was just slightly more expensive. It's a tatami room but... More

“Would definitely stay here again”

We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The receptionist (Yuki) spoke excellent English and the place itself was fantastic. Positives: - Huge rooms, good for all the ski gear and getting organised for a day on the slopes :) - In-room heating (two forms) is more than adequate for cold winter nights. - Separate drying room just near reception. Lots... More

My son & I recently enjoyed 5 nights at this wonderful hotel. The staff were fantastic, the breakfast sensational and the in house dinner a gastronomical delight. A word of advice is to ensure you book at least one evening meal and ensure you let staff know no later than breakfast as chef only shops and cooks for those who... More
