NOZAWA PEAKS - NOZAWA ONSEN, JAPAN
Nozawa Peaks - a guesthouse beside the slopes of the Nozawa Onsen ski resort
Located in the Nozawa Onsen village, Nozawa Peaks sits just five minutes on foot from the ski resort, with restaurants and hot spring baths just around the corner. The kind of place guests come back to year after year.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Comfortable, relaxing, Japanese-style
The rooms have tatami flooring, a woven straw material traditional to Japanese guesthouses. Upgrade futon style beds with warm down duvets. Our staff speak English. For guests who haven't stayed in a Japanese guesthouse before, most find it genuinely enjoyable, a unique experience compared to a typical hotel.
BEFORE YOU ENQUIRE
We want this to be the right trip for you. Take a look and see if it feels like your kind of place:
A great fit if you...
- Are travelling as a couple, family, or small group (up to 7 guests)
- Are comfortable with shared bathrooms and a communal kitchen
- Want a genuine Japanese village experience
- Plan to stay for at least several nights and settle into the place
- Are happy to share space considerately with other guests
Probably not right if you...
- Are a group of 8 or more travelling together
- Need a private bathroom or en-suite (only 3 rooms have private toilet)
- Are looking for a 1–2 night stopover
- Prefer western style hotel/apartment.
A note on large groups: We don't accept bookings for groups of 8 or more. In a small guesthouse with shared facilities, large groups naturally synchronise; same shower time, same kitchen time, which makes it difficult for other guests to use those spaces comfortably.
