Nozawa Grand Hotel  

In the mountains of Nozawa Onsen, a short stroll from the lifts. This ryokan sits in Nozawaonsen (Nakano area), within about a 15-minute walk of Nozawa Onsen Snow Resort and Kenmei-ji Temple and minutes from the Japan Ski Museum. About 20 km from Nakano city center, it’s ideal for ski trips and onsen escapes.

A 4-star ryokan with 29 air-conditioned rooms that blend traditional touches and modern comfort. Rooms feature refrigerators, flat-screen TVs, coffee/tea makers, safes and private bathrooms with bidets and complimentary toiletries; some rooms offer in-room massage options and slippers. The vibe is mountain-chic and cozy—simple, clean, and focused on rest after the slopes.

Soak in hot springs (onsen), unwind in the spa and sauna, or take a dip in the indoor pool and seasonal outdoor pool. Ski storage, ski-pass services and an area shuttle (surcharge) make slope days easy. There’s also a gift shop/newsstand, free self-parking and complimentary Wi‑Fi—wake up to crisp mountain air and head straight to the lifts.

Luggage storage, safe-deposit box at the front desk and an elevator. Free self-parking and complimentary wireless internet throughout the property.
