clean, has everything that you need for ski, wonderful Onsen, the owner is very helpful, close to the entrance of the ski resort

nothing

The host is very kind, he let us check in as soon as we arrived (11am) and got us our ski lift tickets with discount. There is a free shuttle that stops less than 1min from the hotel so we didn't need to walk to the slopes. We also got a lot of helpful information regarding food options nearby.

They have a loud speaker that they use to announce when breakfast and dinner are ready. Breakfast is at 7:30 so that might be a bit early to wake up for some :) it was unusual but we didn't mind as we were waking up early anyway.

This pension is managed with warmhearted hospitality for the no-nonsense traveler who likes a vintage style authentic environment. Don't skip the Japanese breakfast and follow the host's excellent tips for dining around this hotel. The terrific Nozawana Onsen public hot baths are nearby.

I liked every bit of this pension but if you come in winter and want to be close to the main starting points for skiing this pension is not ideally situated. You need to access the ski circuits with a bus. It takes you 15 mins to the Gondola and ticket center. Nozawa Onsen is very small though and even on the outskirts of the village it won't take you more than 20 minutes to cross the town in any direction.

Reception is super warmhearted.

It will be better to have a coin laundry machine.

very basic yet friendly & value-for-money family run ryokan. Nice & hot real onsite onsen; saved us walking out in the cold to public onsen. The owner is very attentive & accommodating. He goes all out to help eventhough he doesn’t speak English but thanks to his best PA called Google Translate!

shared toilets and wash basins in the hallway. Do ask for rooms on 3rd floor.

loved the property , great location, comfortable , good rooms, good private Onsen . host was lovely and helped in every way possible . thank you very much

The customer service and attention given were the best we ever had!! They shared with us discounts at the inn for the ski resort and also gave recommendations on the best onsen, local insights, and also drove us over when we were almost late for catching the bus. They went above and beyond and for that, I will give Kadowakikan a 6 out of 5 star review! FYI they have wifi too and the beds were comfy (FYI I like that they clean the rooms really well too and there's a good view of the mountains from our side!)

really nice staff that were super accommodating

The accommodation was pretty good and clean. Breakfast was pretty good, you have to get use to a bit of Japanese flavour. The Onsen was good and there wern't a lot of people staying when we were there. The host was very helpful with information.

There wasnt much to not like, you must be use to sleeping on futons.

The staff at Kadowakikan are amazing!!! So delightful and able to help. We loved it here, easy to get the the slopes, comfortable and accommodating, will definitely be back!

Excellent location, close to the ski lifts and a short 15 minute walk into the main street of Nozawa Onsen. Very good service. Traditional Japanese room was large and comfortable with a stunning mountain view. Futon beds were great. Good value for money.

The building looks old and dated, but everything was clean and tidy. Would definitely stay again.
