“Brilliant family ski holiday.”

We haven't even left yet, but I have to rave about Alpine Villa Nozawa's stand-alone Nozawa Cottage. Our family of 4 has spent the past week in the winter wonderland of Nozawa (even though it's spring!) and will struggle to pack up and leave tomorrow. The cottage has everything you need to be comfortable - kitchen, cosy heating, tv with... More

If my husband and I were to chose from the 5 different Ryokans and Hotels we stayed in during our 8 day tour of Japan, we would rate this villa our best lodging experience! We stayed in some of the most amazing places in Japan, but this one tops the list... and by a margin! There are quite a few... More

“Always fun in Nozawa”

person found this review helpful

Mark and the team always put on a good time, and guests are made to feel like family. Nozawa itself might be a little tricky for non-japanese speakers flying solo but these guys make everything simple. Good value for money and great fun.

Had a superb stay in Nozawa at the Villa. Great staff, Mark has that great combination of being laid back but also very professional, Kyoko was exceptionally helpful too us and thanks also to Gabriel. Nozawa is one of those magical places that you just hope doesn't turn into another Niseko and recently Hakuba. Anybody going to Nozawa please respect... More

Hello Steve G Thanks for your kind feedback. I've passed on your nice words to the entire team - appreciate it. And yes, one of the charms of Nozawa Onsen is the ski village feel rather than a big resort. We hope it stays like this forever. Thanks again Steve and happy travels. Regards Mark and the team More

Stayed at Villa Nozawa for 3 nights from 27th Dec 2011 with 3 mates. The lodge has a great Japanese feel that fits right in with the quaint old Japanese ski village that is Nozawa Onsen. For non-Japanese speaking tourists this is the place to stay. Mark and his staff are super friendly and welcoming, organise everything you need and... More

The staffs are around all the time and available to answer any questions you have about the ski slope and the town.

What a place this was. The staff were so friendly and they made you feel like you were part of the family. Great location to the Karasawa end of the mountain.

In writing a review, I suppose it would be nice to come up with some suggestion or other that might make a guest's stay more enjoyable, but when it comes to Villa Nozawa I'm drawing a blank.
