Holiday rentals with breakfast in Nozawaonsen, Shimotakai District

It was smooth and flexible from the exchange of messages in advance, and the room and kitchen were stylish, clean, and we had a comfortable stay.Breakfast, such as handmade carrot soup from ingredients, dressing, jam, and rice flour bread made by the neighbors, was packed with not only delicious, but also heartfelt warmth.🫶 Personally, it was a valuable opportunity to become more interested in permaculture, organic vegetables, and fair trade.It was fun to hear Yoko's experience, including Australia, and I heard personally what I was thinking about, and it was nice to come all the way from Saitama! In the summer season, where vegetables and other vegetables are grown in the fields, I can also climb mountains and I look forward to visiting again.☺️🌿

Saiko is a very friendly host. She is so nice and attentive. Location is excellent. We got to Hakuba pretty late and the place being so close to train station was very helpful.

Daniel and Sui were amazing hosts, a sweet couple, who spoke great English, fluent Japanese, and Mandarin. Daniel took us back and forth to Hirata train station in the mornings and evenings. from Hirata station, it's 6 minutes to Matsumoto Station. we couldn't find any lodging near Matsumoto station which is how we found the airbnb. We didn't explore anything near the Airbnb but Daniel did take us by his vegetable gardens. Matsumoto is a great city to explore with delicious food. Sui prepared locally grown organic Fuji apples, Asian pear, and persimmon as well as teas and coffee. They had a fire for us and we felt very comfortable in the shared living room and kitchen. we were able to borrow their refrigerator and both days Sui prepared fruit for us to take. she also taught me more about Japanese culture (we share a Taiwanese background). my daughter was very comfortable with both the hosts and wished to stay longer. I enjoyed meeting them and hope to see them again! thank you!

The starry sky and sauna were extraordinary and really great! The food was also very delicious. The futon was also fluffy, and I was able to sleep slowly without air conditioning for the first time in a long time. Please take good care of the accommodation forever. I'd love to go again.

Adorable people in a very pleasant environment, surrounded by nature. Available for a drop off in the area if you are without a vehicle. The stay could be even more pleasant if the equipment in the bedrooms was more suitable…(bedside lamp, towel rack for bath towels).

Saiko-san really cares about her guests. she was very welcoming when I needed to make a last minute booking and the room was just what I wanted. Saiko-san provides breakfast for everyone in the morning and obviously takes pride in ensuring that he guests are comfortable and have had a good night's sleep.

The house rules were set in detail, so I was able to prepare them in advance!Due to the inconvenient location, it was a different-world location like in a picture book, and I was able to refresh myself the best.🌳

I used it for the first time. I arrived later than planned, but they were flexible and I was able to check in smoothly.The information about the nearby store I was told in advance was also accurate and helpful. Thank you very much.

It was a very beautiful hostel. The view from the window was also good and the atmosphere was calm. However, the owner was not available when I checked in, and even if I asked the employee, I waited for a moment. It is a bit disappointing that we had to wait about 30 minutes for check-in.

It feels like a very comfortable chalet, the room is very clean, there is a restaurant in the homestay, very convenient

The place was spacious and very clean.The restaurant food was delicious.There was also a pick-up service, which was very good.

Nice staff and great environment, will definitely come back again

Stay was 100% satisfied, very neat, well organised and well maintained. Justin was exceptionally kind, welcoming and attentive, it made me feel right at home, felt like staying again and gave references to my friends.

Yuu-san welcomed me for the New Years holidays even though I made a reservation in the last moment. He and his family are very kind and welcoming. I enjoyed exploring the traditional New Year's meals and the musical selection every morning :) This artistic home is in a peaceful countryside area and great if you need to disconnect and find your creativity. Thank you for your hospitality!

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.

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!

Location was fantastic, right next to bus stops with easy access to ski mountains. Staff fantastic, always friendly, and very helpful. Room was very spacious, comfy beds, and plenty of storage space. Would love to come and stay again!

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.

Great location and in walking distance to Happo village. Shuttle bus to nearby slopes and staff very friendly and helpful.

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

This is a living experience that adds points to the Karuizawa trip.The landlady is very kind. Because she had time, she offered to pick us up at the station, which was a big surprise before we arrived╰ (*°▽ ° *). The╯ check-in process was smooth. The landlady's English communication was completely ok. The car rental information and surrounding activities information provided to us were very detailed and accurate ~ When I encountered problems, the landlady was also able togive me a solution right away to help me get rid of the trouble ~ The house staff is a lovely short-term part-time student, very enthusiastic and polite, we had a pleasant chat and a deeper understanding of each other's culture ~ Although it is a pity that I did not see the aunt again after the stay, I am very grateful for the thoughtful service she provided to us.
