Lodge Nagano

We were 3 families, 10 people in total, and had never been to Nozawa Onsen before. We all loved staying at Lodge Nagano as it was very clean and comfortable. It’s an easy walk to the ski locker, Nagasaki Gondola, and all the restaurants and bars in town. The local Onsen was wonderful and I will miss going there. But most of all the staff were so friendly, warm, welcoming and extremely helpful. Thank you so much for making our stay so enjoyable. We look forward to returning soon.

Stayed here in Dec 23 with 2 boys. It's really an unbeatable location where it's a short walk to their ski locker where you leave your gear the day before and go to collect them the next morning. From there, it's a short distance to the main gondola and where your instructors would be waiting for you to go to the slopes. Fuss free especially if you're with children. Daily breakfast is hearty and fantastic. Room itself was comfortable with warm bedding. Ensuite rooms are available for families but these are limited as with typical ski lodging so make sure they book them early. The best part is all the friendly staff with warm smiles at any minute. They love what they do and it makes you love where you are.

Had read reviews on Lodge Nagano and was not disappointed. Very cosy and extremely well appointed accomodation. Modern decor, comfortable couches to hang out at end of day around the fire, doonas are amazing, great breakfast provided each morning. General vibe is very laid back and friendly, mix of clientele from families to young folk. But the stand out here is the staff - friendly and helpful. Big shout out to staff Jed from Sydney and Masa from Japan. These guys were the perfect mix of hospitality and friendliness and helped to make our stay extra enjoyable. Luke was a great source of information for eating around town and his video on Onsen etiquette was crucial. Short walk to ski hill and good ski storage close to base so you don’t have to lug it back to accomodation each night. Very happy with our choice to stay here.
