Culinary Delight

Our family loved the exquisite dining experience at Nozawa Grand Hotel. Chef Shinichi Tomii crafted multi-course meals featuring local fish, fresh forest vegetables, and varied sashimi and tempura that surpassed our expectations. The flavors were authentic and beautifully presented, making each meal nice.

Soothing Onsen Experience

The onsen facilities were truly a highlight of our stay. The indoor onsen was clean and warm, but the outdoor onsen stole the show with amazing views of the snow-covered village. There’s something magical about soaking in hot water while snowflakes fall around you.

Comfortable Accommodation

We stayed in a spacious Japanese-style room that offered a separate seating area with a sofa, fridge, and tea facilities. This setup provided us a cozy place to relax after a long day of skiing. The beds were comfortable, making it easy to settle in for a good night's sleep.

We had a wonderful stay at the Nozawa Grand Hotel, boasting a fantastic mix of traditional Japanese hospitality and modern comforts. The large rooms provided a cozy atmosphere, and the private onsen was a delightful treat. The dining experience was remarkable, with delicious Japanese fine dining. However, the breakfast options could be broader, and the location, while convenient for skiing, is slightly on the edge of town, requiring a bit of a walk to reach the center.

I had a wonderful stay at Nozawa Grand Hotel, thanks to its beautiful Japanese-style rooms and exquisite dining. The location made it easy to access nearby ski lifts and the town center. While the indoor onsen was nice, I really enjoyed the outdoor one, which offered stunning views, though it was quite chilly outside. The dining was pricey but worth it for the delicious multi-course meals, however, the breakfast window of just one hour was a bit inconvenient.

We had a good time at the hotel, enjoying the spacious, clean rooms and the relaxing onsen experience, especially after a long day of skiing. The breakfast was amazing, offering a variety of Japanese dishes along with some western options. However, communication with the staff was a bit challenging due to the language barrier. The location is a bit distant from the main ski slopes, and walking back can be exhausting after a day on the slopes.
