The house is comfy and well-situated on the outskirts of town. Its a short walk to the travelator to head up to the slopes and you can ski back home. It's also an even shorter walk to the nearest onsen. There was plenty of space for our group of 5 and we were all very comfortable in our beds. The views are lovely.

It's minor, but living in Japan, we've all gotten used to having a washlet in the bathroom and Nozawa house does not have them.

Location was great with easy access to the Nozawa ski slopes. Inside the house the facilities were clean and comfortable.

Parking was a hassle. Our hosts were very nice to help us haul all of our stuff in and out of the house during check-in and check-out, but the lack of direct access from our cars was a surprise. It would have been nice to have been warned about this, in which case we would have packed way less. We understand it is a snowy town and is beyond control of the hosts, but please explain parking situation to future guests well in advance to prevent the confusion we experienced on arrival.
