Would completely recommend Villa Nozawa as a place to stay when skiing. The staff are super friendly, helpful and accommodating. Ski gear, lift tickets and lessons can all be organised through the lodge, free lift to and from mountain, snow report and cooked breakfast each morning, restaurant recommendations.. Common room with log fire, easy 800m walk to main shops and... More

Our stay at Villa Nozawa reminded me of how great hospitality can make the difference between an okay time and what turned out to be our best holiday ever. Mark and his team run a very special place that combines the best of Japanese courtesy and hospitality with just the right amount of laid back, Western flexibility. The rooms were... More

Villa Nozawa was awesome. We took out 2 kids aged 7 and 4. We had no worries getting there from Narita as Mark and the team at the Villa were super helpful with advice. As for the accommodation we were very well looked after. The room was excellent. Sleeping on the tatami mats was a great experience, and the en-suite... More

Back home in Australia after a week at Villa Nozawa, and I still keep an eye on the snow and daily reports - wishing we were still there (two adults and one child). We feel lucky to have been there to witness Gabriel being the first westerner to win both the Giant Slalom and down the mountain races, congratulations! A... More
