We loved staying here. Traditional Japanese rooms were great. Onsen was great. The family that ran the hotel were awesome, very accommodating and cooked a great breakfast. Would recommend this place!

The single onsen was open at set times for males and females. Not a big deal, just make sure you don't miss your spot as there aren't separate showers to use if you do.

During winter, the room was very warm along with the rest of the property. The view from the window is lovely and you can’t beat the location!

Cleanliness and friendliness of the staff were exceptional. The hot bath was excellent after a days skiing. The breakfast was very enjoyable. Cleanliness was exceptional.

I found it difficult to sit on the floor and have breakfast. You need to practice this before you head to Chouchiniya

feel like home. very nice guest housw

Chouchinya’s Toshi san and Tomoko san were excellent hosts. I had the pleasure of staying at Chouchinya for ten nights (Monday, February 13 to Wednesday, February 22). I opted for the bed and Japanese breakfast option. Not only was it great value for monet ($86 a day for a single) the breakfast provided was more than enough for me on most days to not be bothered having lunch. That is saying something considering I skied everyday bar one. You can even opt to have dinner which I did on two occasions. If you are money conscious, you will be hard pressed to get better value in Nozawa Onsen for your dining dollar. The location is perfect. A very short walk from both the Chuo bus station and centre of town. I rented my skis from Sports Thanx near the Nagasaka gondola. The walk each day from Chouchinya was less than 10 minutes. In a nutshell central to all you want to see and do in the lovely town of Nozawa Onsen.

Nothing tI can pinpoint considering the target audience and price set by this establishment.

very good location, close to all the shops and bus stop

the in house Onsen is ok but doesn't feel particularly clean. All amenities are very basic

The staff were amazingly friendly. The owner is a sommelier and specializes in natural wines, which was quite the pleasant surprise! You can order a glass to the room. Another great point that made the rooms super cozy was the adjustable light. You could adjust the temperature from a bright blue light during the day to a warm yellow light in the evening. Such a simple thing but makes a huge difference!

Nothing! It was great.

Friendly and nice staff. Perfect town center location.
