Nozawaonsen Guest House Miyazawa

When we came to Japan we wanted to know what the Japanese lifestyle was like. We wanted to remove our shoes at the door, sleep on futons that we had to pull out, eat at a low table, what it might be like at a Japanese bath house, eat traditional Japanese food. This Inn provided it all. It was also very convenient in terms of renting snowboarding gear, walking to the slopes and walking to the onsens. I can not recommend this inn enough. Don’t let the shared bathrooms scare you because during my stay I didn’t run into a single soul while using the facilities. You can also purchase breakfast there and I highly recommend it. The morning salmon was probably some of the best fish I’ve had. You can also purchase a hot pot dinner with all you can eat salad bar. We did the regional beef and the sauce you make it with is amazing. I always felt welcomed and the inn owner is an awesome guy and one of the nicest people I’ve ever met.

We had a great one night over Christmas at Wafu Pension. The staff was super friendly and the room was clean and comfortable. It had a stunning early morning view with soft-coloured mountains. The breakfast was half buffet style, due to allergy I was happy with the option not to take the things I couldn't eat.

Great location, friendly staff, good food and authentic Japanese style rooms. Could not have asked for anything more.

Great location, so close to main gondola and a short stroll down the hill to town. Lovely staff and very clean rooms.

Wafu was a lovely little comfortable ryokan. It was shared facilities that were kept extremely clean. It had everything we needed for our stay. The owner and staff were very friendly and very helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place to others. Note the place was a little noisy at night but generally settled by 10.30.
