Quite possibly the most accommodating friendly hosts I have ever encountered. Ted and Stephen were outstanding.

Beautiful place with a great view of Lake Nojiri Owner/Manager Ted was brilliant, not only was he friendly and accommodating– man’s got a good heart! He brought me out cycling fully around the lake, always ready to facilitate any activities you might want to do. He also assisted me in recovering my misplaced wallet at the train station which I am extremely grateful and appreciative of, thank you Ted!

Hosts were amazing, room was super and the breakfast was awesome. They also let us wash our clothes, and gave great advice for the local area. Even offered discount ski passes. Amazing stay

First and foremost, the service provided by Ted and assistant Stephen was fantastic. From our initial dealings by email, to when we were met at the train on arrival, to being driven to our next accommodation at Myoko and everything in between. The accommodation location is right on the shores of the lake. Every room has a fantastic, stunning view of the lake and surrounding mountains. The rooms are of a good size, Japanese style, good wifi and have a small sitting room, lake facing, to enjoy the vista. Nojiri would be a busy place in warmer seasons but we found plenty to do with smelt fishing on the lake, shoeshowing, walking around the area and just enjoying the comfortable hotel and views. It's a short drive from the Myoko ski resorts, where we headed next, but other guests were staying lake side and taking the short drive to the slopes each day.

We felt like we were staying with old friends, not at a hotel. Owner Ted picked us up at the train station and was very gracious and warm. He was often sitting in the lobby when we returned and would ask us about our day. We chose a Japanese room and slept on the tatami mats. Breakfast was delicious, fresh and plentiful. Ted arranged a visit to an ancient temple on the island in the lake via their rowboats. We borrowed their bikes to tour the town. We wanted to pick up regional food items for gifts and Ted drove us to the store on our way to the train station. We left the resort feeling relaxed and rested.

Ted was so kind and helpful. we enjoyed dinner (a restaurant recommended by the host). Futons were comfortable and we had a good night sleep. Lake view was awesome in the morning. boat ride was full of fun and it was totally free because Ted let us have his boat and life jackets. Breakfast was very nice too.
