    The really annoying toddler traveling with us waking up in the middle of the night 😂

    This was our first time visiting Nozawa Onsen. The accommodation was an easy 5 min walk to all the restaurants and maybe 10 mins (uphill) to the snow. So it wasn't the closest to the snow but was easily accessible. We were travelling with a toddler coming from Europe who was extremely jetlagged and often up and ready to play in the middle of the night. The staff were so patient and kind with us. For a young team we found them super professional and helpful. There were many onsen close by and we found the rooms nice, cosy and spacious for a family with big luggage. We met lots of lovely families in the common space and you had lots of options for the included breakfast. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back.

    Didn't mind, but heads up the showers are shared. One has a curtain that closes it off, but the other 2 are exposed to others, in a traditional Japanese way.

    Staff were really friendly and helpful, we loved the intimate vibe of the whole place. Great to see everyone in the morning at breakfast, and nice common areas.

    Toilets were shared and washbasin is also separate. A good 15mins walk uphill to the moving platform. Not that close to ski slopes.

    It was a cosy and friendly atmosphere. Has a backpackers vibe. Beautiful breakfast every morning. Cosy communal family room. A couple of nice onsens nearby.

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

    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.

    The staff were super friendly and very helpful, nothing was a concern for them and they offered lots of advice and even made booking for us around town. The rooms were clean, the shared bathrooms were also very clean and the hot showers/onsen were excellent after a long day on the mountain.
