Stayed here for 3 nights during January. While the Japanese style rooms rooms with tatami can be unusual to those used to western style, they are a cool new experience and best of all were the hosts who made the stay extremely inviting and …

Recently stayed over Christmas in a 5 person room. It was a fantastic stay, very close to everything and easy to get to the ski slopes. The rooms are traditional Japanese style, super clean and offer comfortable futons to sleep on. …

This was our 2nd trip to Nozawa Onsen and we decided to stay at a traditional Japanese lodge instead. ||||Oyado Uemasa is family run, with the wife and son doing much of the management of the lodge.  …

We really enjoyed our stay at Oyado Uemasu. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They pointed out the notable nearby shops, places to eat and the best way to get to the slopes. Nozawa onsen has a free shuttle bus that regularly travels between stops in town and the bottom of the main gondola. The lodge is a few hundred metres to the shuttle bus stop so it is very convenient. It is also about 10 minutes to walk to the centre of town/convenience store. We didn't have any problems with noise from other rooms, but the doors dont seem to block much noise. This place isn't a party house.

Clean, cosy, traditional and very close to free shuttle bus stop that takes you direct to the Nakasaka Gondola (no walking up all those stairs to the moving walkway!) Lovely hosts, great drying room and short walk to restaurants etc. The extremely friendly hosts speak a little English, just enough to help with the basics. Nice hot bath (Mini Onsen) in the bathroom. Very close to where the buses to Tokyo and Narita and local train station stop off and pick up. Basically perfect.
