Find Places to Stay in Iiyama on Airbnb

nice

Access is good. Close to the interchange. If you run a little, there are supermarkets, home improvement stores, family restaurants and convenience stores. The children were very happy. Since it was a season with little snow, I went to Nozawa Onsen. I will arrive in about 20 minutes. Ideal for winter sports.

Quite place in central location to several ski resorts. Host made us feel right at home -remember to take shoes off before you enter the house though

Great access from many nearby ski slopes. Cospa was good, too and was able to spend comfortably.

Iyama city. supermarket. Nozawa On Sense Kijang Accessibility was also good It was a beautiful and nice lodge. The next time you travel to this place, I will visit you unconditionally.

Hidetaka is an excellent host that makes sure the house is ready before you arrive. He will turn on the heater for you before you arrive and also shovel the snow off the doorstep. The place is as seen in the photos and is indeed magical when it snows.

I would suggest hiring a car as there is a bit of a hike to shops and laundro mat as there are no facilities close by. The scenery is amazing and the cabin is in a good location to visit other areas with ease if you wanted too

The buffet dinner and breakfast for six or more people accompanied by Japanese friends will be very good and you can feel the local atmosphere.

A total of seven friends and family members used the ski trip. The location and facilities of the cottage are almost as described in the listing. Almost everything we needed was clean and the heating was warm without any problems (we bring bath towels, paper towels and tissue). The fact that the entrance and clog box space is large, and that we could store the skis and snow boots for the number of people with plenty of space was saved. We had you explain very carefully at the time of check-in and were saved. It looks good in summer, so I would like to use it again with my family.

Host waited for us to arrive at around 9pm to help out with the check in. Very patient with helping out on queries. Very friendly too. Huge place.

Lovely cosy cabin.. big enough for a family. You need a car to get about. Perfect base for ski or hiking trips

If you want to get away from the tourists (which we did), this is the perfect place. Host was very friendly and helpful with everything. Would recommend a car if you want to explore. Thanks very much for our first airbnb experience ! We loved it

Great 20min drive to Nozawa Onsen and can do late check in until 11PM

We arrived hungry assuming there was a store within walking distance and when we found out it was much farther than expected, Hidetaka was so kind to offer my friends and I a ride to the store. Great place with a beautiful view of the mountains. Overall 10 stars.

The host is really friendly and speak English well. He provides useful information. The entire house is private. The place is quite spacious for 5 big luggages. The bedrooms are spacious and providing a lot of bedding equipments, so we feel very comfy to sleep. Need a car to get around

There is no washing machine, but it is a beautiful small log house. I used it to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy snowboarding. If you ask for local information, you can tell me anything.

A perfect couple, full of good intentions, a great cook. One of the best receptions for 7 years A perfect couple, full of good intentions, a great cook. one of the best airbnb for 7 years

My family really enjoyed our stay here. We live in Japan and so didn't expect to be wowed by the food, but the food truly is exceptional. We have dietary restrictions and are very grateful that the hosts accommodated us. Having meals prepared for us made for a really relaxing trip. We usually go to Nagano by car. Because the hosts pick us up and drop us off we were grateful to be able to visit this area without having to drive. We also enjoyed meeting other guests in the dining area. The area is great for visiting Nozawa Onsen, skiing and the snow monkeys. My kids are already asking to go back. We hope to visit again for beetle hunting in the summer.

My stay and trip with Yoshi-San was exceptionally better than I would have ever imagined. He is not your typical Air b&b host where you rarely see your host. Yoshi-San will pick you up, make you breakfast and dinner, and double checks your schedule for the rest of your stay— that way he can schedule out a timeline of when to take you to the station and when/where to pick you up. You can tell that Yoshi-San has done this professionally for quite some time. It’s not only him of course, his wife will pop up here and there and help make the breakfast and dinner for us. Their food is definitely 5 star restaurant quality. Yoshi-san is very humble and I thought his English was good enough for me to have a fun conversation with him. I had no problem communicating with him and we understood each other quite well. As for lodging, I couldn’t complain at all. We had a beautiful, snow filled view of the mountains and trees. We had 2 beds for 2 people. A private toilet and electric heater for the room. We are from Okinawa and it wasn’t as cold as I thought it would be in the rooms/house. You will not regret booking a stay at Yoshi-Sans home. I highly recommend his place!

Mr Yoshihiro and his family are kind and helpful. He is one of the best host in airbnb. We enjoy our time in his house. Mr Yoshihiro picked up us in JR station and take us to go Ski center and Onsen. It’s wonderful time to live in. Mr Yoshihiro is a great chef and prepare breakfast and dinner are amazing and full of memories. Sean Chan Hong Kong

Look no further and book now!!! Yoshihiro's place exceeded all of my expectations and staying with him and his family was one of the highlights of my trip! I was visiting to snowboard at Nozawaonsen and Yoshihiro helped me to get on the shuttle daily and gave me a ride to a local onsen at night. His recommendations were spot on and provided me with a unique experience. Also, his cooking was exceptional!!! A restaurant quality experience at home! His communication, service, cooking and knowledge of the local area were top notch. I would absolutely stay with his family again and give him my highest recommendation!

Amazing value for money, Yoshihiro and his wife made our stay in Iiyama seamless and unforgetable. Both the breakfast and dinner services were spectacular, every meal was made up of a minimum of 4 delicious hand made dishes prepared with care and experience . His house was cosy and warm, beds were comfotable and the local knowledge he shared was vital for getting the most out of Iiyama. Even if you aren't in the area, I highly recommend going out of your way to stay a few nights with Yoshihiro, it will be worth it.

Yoshihiro san and Rieko san went above and beyond for us. We were welcomed so warmly into their lovely home and served dinner on entry after a long train ride which was just what we felt like! Yoshihiro san helped us organise how to get to Nozawa Onsen for snowboarding and gave us rides to and from the bus stop and the local outdoor onsen. We feel very fortunate to have met Yoshihiro san and Rieko san and we will definitely be back for a longer stay! This bnb was the highlight of Japan - book your stay here and enjoy the quieter side of Japan. Thank you Yoshihiro san and Rieko san, if you visit New Zealand you have a home here!

Chicca’s place is an awesome spot to stay in especially if you’re looking to ski in the Nagano area. The house is cozy and the meals provided by Chicca are great! Definitely recommend checking out the nearby outdoor onsen too. Thank you for your hospitality and sharing you home with us!

Visited around the end of February this cozy place. Great atmosphere, nice private space for sleeping and a fantastic communal space where you can meet fellow travelers, drink tea and coffee for free. Taka, Yuji and Yuna were super kind hosts, Yuji especially helped me with solving some cumbersome issues and even got to ride together during some super pow days! You're right by the bus stop and only a short walking distance from one of Nozawa's chairlifts, which makes it a good location. A public onzen is also very close, open 5am to midnight, must try it as an early morning starter or definitely after a day's riding for muscle relaxation. Will definitely come back and stay at Taka's.

Although it is a dormitory, it is covered with walls so it is not visible from the surroundings, and the warmth of the staff and the interaction with other guests became memorable memories ^ ^ Highly recommended!

Great space to meet fellow travellers. The host is very thoughtful/attentive and can wax a snowboard the best! Great lift passes at reduced rates than on the slopes. It's out of the main Street by a 15-20 minute walk which I liked. Bus is available from end of street.

Never written a review on here but thought I had to for Taka. Even though the snow was pretty average this season, staying here definitely made up for it. Taka and Yuji were absolutely amazing hosts - super kind and generous. The place is 5min walk out from town. 5 min from the lifts. Right outside the bus stop. The food here was amazing and really reasonably priced. Discounted lift passes were provided too! Definitely will stay here again if I am back in Nozawa! (I will :D)

Both Takka and Yugi were awesome, such high spirited people who made me feel very welcome. Takka even had gentemsticks for me to try out which was an added bonus! Plus, Takka was an amazing cook which I took full advantage of. Can’t wait to come back

5/5

This is a greatlocation with plenty of parking, just a few minutes walk from the nearest ski lift, and in good conditions you can ski back to the lodge, or at least very close. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the local area. You can buy you lift tickets here for a small discount which is great. The food offered is wonderfully prepared and delicious, please communicate in advance for large groups. Highly recomended.

I had an amazing time staying at this Airbnb. The hospitality was incredible, above and beyond what other places I have stayed at.

I had a fantastic time at Toyosato Guesthouse, a very friendly family run guesthouse. Close to everything. Large traditional Japanese room and the breakfast was excellent . Looking forward to going there again next year.

Unbelievable place to stay when in Nozawa Onsen. Excellent location and facilities, cosy and homely Will definitely be back

This is the best place to stay in nozawa! The food is amazing and it's a short walk to everything! You definitely feel like a local staying here with Miwa !

The location of the homestay is about 3 minutes walk from the longboard ski resort, which is very convenient! The rooms are large and well-equipped. The breakfast is delicious. The host is very nice :)

Literally a 2 min walk to the base of Nagasaka gondola. Perfect location to slopes and restaurants and great host. Decent sized rooms, great breakfasts and has a drying room, which isn't mentioned. Miwa and family will definitely make your stay memorable.

What a lovely place! Perfectly located close to ski slopes but also easy walk to shops, restaurants and onsen. Large comfortable room. And the breakfast was a highlight - I looked forward to it every day!

We LOVED staying here. The host was amazing and made us feel at home (and came out to meet us when we got lost!). The traditional breakfast provided every morning was so delicious and exactly as pictured (something different everyday) with coffee and tea. Short walk from bus terminal and the main street. Absolutely loved staying here and would recomend and stay again !

I truly enjoyed my stay. Breakfast was especially good. I totally recommend this place!

Comfortable and welcoming place and host

Yoshirou was friendly and warm. He picked us up from the local station and drove us to the house. He made us tea and we drank it in the lovely common space in front of the fire. Our room was very cute and warmed quickly with the heater. Yoshirou offered to drive us to local onsen and restaurant streets. We chose to walk to the nearest onsen for a bath (5-10min wander). The onsen seemed to be ok for a single point 20cm tattoo but we didn't see an official policy so your mileage might vary. Afterward Yoshirou drove us to around the station where we had dinner. Although the streets were very quiet during the day, at night there were several restaurants open. Hakko was delicious and a little expensive, and D-Line was a lively bar with lots of types of food. When we were finished we wrang Yoshirou and he picked us up quickly. We had a great time.

The host is a very nice person. The station pick-up is very beautiful and will take you to the nearby hot spring and monkey park. Finally, I will pick you up at the park and return to the station.

I like this homestay very much and can experience traditional Japanese rural homes. The landlord Mr. Fang Lang is very friendly! I recommend to all tourists who want to live in Yudanaka! Much liked the place, experiencing the most typical Japanese rural style living! Host Yoshirou San is a really friendly and nice person, I would recommend his place to anyone who wants to stay at Yodanaka for Shiga Kogen and Monkey Park!

The owner is very hospitable, kind, helpful. I met at the station in my car, drove to the monkey park. The rooms are clean, the house is cozy, the wood is heated, you feel at home. We advise everyone to visit this Guest House !!!!

Absolutely the best overall accommodation you could wish for in such a place! An old wooden converted cafe with a log burning fire, incredible value for money for that region.

Great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the cities. Yoshirou is a super host that try’s to make your stay as good as it can be. Great food, great service and great location!!

Very nice traditional style room. We were very grateful to have Yoshirou drive us to and from the station.

The room was small, which was expected for a single person stay. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. Plenty of breakfast options and a kitchen at your disposal. Washing and drying facilities and a very short walk to the gondola. Very helpful host. Lots of local information. Great place to stay if you are on a budget.

This location is no more than 100 meters from the main Lodge, easy access to the main road with many restaurants and onsens as well. The manager is very friendly and the facilities are very clean.

Nice and clean interior for rooms and sharing space including bathrooms and fully equipped kitchen. Location is also good as just a few steps walk to gondola station and walkable to all around the town. You can have nice Public bath walking with their free lending shampoo and body soap. Hosts are very nice and friendly to take care of my room heat, which was very helpful in a summer hot day.

I enjoyed it very much in an interesting building. The town called Nozawa Onsen and the owners were all good and it was good. Arrival was late at night, but thinks that I do not have trouble in sightseeing because I took a bath. I recommend it.

Helped me find the shuttle bus, was given a map of the area and great tips!

This is a cozy ski lodge located steps away from the main gondola. I came here for some spring skiing so it was much quieter than I imagine it is in high season, but I can tell it is well set up to accommodate a full house. I enjoyed the use of the communal kitchen. Everything was clean and well looked after. I liked it so much I decided to extend my trip a few extra days. Thanks to Jack and Mica for a great stay!

Absolutely unbeatable location. Just around the corner from from the slopes and main gondola. The space is cute and clean, room is small but for the location and price unbeatable. There is a full kitchen available if you want to make something and there is a free washer/dryer available for use (¥100 for a laundry pod). WiFi is available throughout (I was a bit concerned since it wasn’t in the listing). Be aware the shower/bathroom is in the “basement” so you may be going up/down stairs a lot, especially in the single room which is on the top floor. Jack was very nice and gave me recommendations for Onsen to visit and rent ski equipment. They even have “wash buckets” with soap/shampoo you can take if you want to go to a public Onsen. Overall it was a wonderful experience. Highly recommend.

It was a late check-in, but I was able to enter and use smoothly. The unique architecture was fun just by looking around. We leave Oyu Dori, but it is just right distance for walk. You can enjoy the snow scene in a quiet residential area.

A great resort in a good location on the mountain, everyone is welcoming and the food is beautiful, the included breakfast was a nice touch. would highly recommend to anyone in a group wanting to stay on the Madarao mountain.

Many of the guests are from abroad, and the atmosphere is very bright and at home. After enjoying snowboarding at Madarao Kogen Ski Resort, I enjoyed a delicious meal made by Mayuko. At first I was worried about staying at a hotel in front of a ski resort or having a pension, but I still like to talk with people living there and to communicate with them, such as having them learn various things. This time, I stayed at this lodge and it was a great answer. It is a nice lodge where many Japanese families are staying and there are many repeaters. It was a very satisfying stay for 3 nights and 4 days.

Brilliant location, outstanding food and great hospitality! Slightly noisy on the weekends when people are partying in the restaurant at night, so bring your ear plugs if you're a light sleeper. Other than that a brilliant stay.

Abe, Mark and their team at the lodge are amazing hosts with excellent hospitality. We were treated like old friends as opposed to guests. Thanks team!

Mark and Abby are fantastic hosts. The lodge is very welcoming and close to the slopes. Would definitely stay again. Thank you Madarao Mountain Lodge!

Abby and Mark are very warm, gracious, kind and accomodating. They provided a shuttle service that was a life saver with our late arrival to a new place. Abby cooks a great breakfast to get the day started and the ticket office is then an easy walk away. Everything about this place makes your snow trip easy and pleasurable. They have a restaurant as part of the lodge, of which Abby is a master chef. Mark stocks a bar with a great selection of craft beers. The room is warm, comfortable and with the curtains drawn, very dark. We had our best nights sleep staying at Madarao Mountain Lodge. All the staff we met spoke excellent english that really helped us as we don't have a handle on the local language. Abby and Mark also helped with phone calls and suggestions for activities and transit options. We had a very memorable stay and hope to come back again in the future. They are the example for other AirBnB hosts. Thanks again and always.

The landlord is very enthusiastic! Originally booked this hotel, may not be able to live a total of 15 people (8 big, 6 small, 1 baby) to go to her friend's home, her friend's home is also very warm and very warm, breakfast well done! The room is a little smaller. The only downside is that there is no separate shower room. The shower and toilet are public, but it is also very convenient. It is a good experience to stay for three nights. The landlord also helped to book the snow ticket and take us to the group. The place where the ski equipment is located is not far from the snow field. The children are very happy to play. Thank you, the landlord is too tolerant of the children.

Great little place. The hosts are the friendliest people and will bend over backwards to help with anything u need. Good food and beer at the property also.

Thank you for your kindness. It was a wonderful house not far from the station

It is a good old house in Japan. It's only a 5-minute walk from the station. In addition, it is recommended to walk slowly while seeing the treasures of Joetsu Takada, the best gang tree street in Japan. There are easy-to-understand signs, so I found it immediately. I went around early March, so it was comfortable with hot water and heating. There is a sign cat called Kuro-chan, so I sometimes visit the room, but it was a cat group and I enjoyed it very much. The shower and toilet were excellent cleanliness. Lisa's hospitality was great. The morning coffee was a treat too. I will take care again. A Japanese-style Nagaya-style cultural guesthouse. Jintakada Station is a guesthouse that can be reached immediately. It is very easy to find the first and second-hand passengers outside the guesthouse. Right and left Joetsu in the beginning of March, about 4 degrees left and right, hot and cold water in a guest house, cold feeling at bedtime. Minshuku 內 看 貓 名 貓 貓 貓 字 名 名 黑 內 內 內 內 內 Minshuku Elderly, very friendly, Yusuke Hayami, very loyal. A guest house in front of the Urayama.

I am always grateful for your help. I use it as I like. Thank you for the hottie!

Always Thank you. It is the best cospa every time. The morning coffee was delicious.

It is a very clean and friendly place to stay.

I am always grateful for your help. It is too cozy and will take care again. The extra of coffee was also a treat!

Thank you for your always pleasant hospitality. I had a coffee in the morning. As cospa is very satisfied, it is becoming a permanent hotel, but thank you.

You can experience Japanese tenement houses. The host Lisa is also very friendly, so I think it's a very comfortable place to stay. Smoking is also very good!

We came to ski meters of powder ... and there was not a single snowflake. However, we still had a great stay. Our immense disappointment due to the snow conditions was largely compensated by Lisa's unique hospitality, her advice and good addresses, all in an authentic setting. For convenience, the accommodation is very well located, close to the train station and shops. Also note that the accommodation is perfectly clean.

I think that it is a wonderful inn where you can stay almost at home. Cats are also cute!

The bedroom is a traditionnal japanese style bedroom, with futons as beds. There is a nice heating table, TV. Toilets and shower are very clean.

I had a very pleasant stay. She was very friendly and went out of her way to help me. Clean house, loved the shower, loved the cat. Very japanese style. Would stay again.

It was more comfortable than the price! I still want to use it.

We were able to cope with overnight accommodation. Black cat is very cute. It was very clean than the price, and the communication with the host and the caring were also wonderful. I would like to stay again

The location was good. The house is very clean and clean with all amenities and towels. Especially the fragrance of the aroma was the best. Nyanko Kuro-chan is very quiet and cute. I want to stay here again

Very recommended place to stay in Joetsu. If you come to Joetsu, you will often stay there.

Great service with drivers and incredible food

The quality of this Japanese style is second to none, from the moment we arrived to the morning we left the quality of service was terrific. Although there on hot spring bath was being repaired on the first day, we were provided entry into the public bath right next door. The quality of the traditional Japanese cuisine for dinner and was exceptional, breakfast was also very good. The traditional Japanese style room was quite large and very comfortable and the beds were laid out whilst we were at dinner. If you want to experience traditional Japanese hospitality, quality accommodation in a idyllic location and where your every need is taken care of I would highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed.

We loved our stay at Ryokan Warobino. The staff went above and beyond to make us comfortable. Pro’s:The ryokan is situated in the countryside outside of Nagano. There are 4 onsens on the property. There is a private one that you can rent by the hour. There’s a super cute ski hill 20 min away. Con’s: That we couldn’t stay longer. Thanks again!!

If you are looking for an authentic ryokan experience away from tourists, book this place immediately. The complimentary shuttle was a huge plus, it is a bit of a trip out going from Nagano station on the local line to the station where the host picks you up, but totally worth it. The inn keepers will also bring you back and forth from the station that takes you to see the snow monkeys if you want but the times are limited to their regular shuttle schedule (10AM out of inn, 4 or 4:30 pick ups at station). Definitely make time for a dinner and breakfast as part of your stay, the cost is extra but you get a unique and thoughtfully prepared meal. The private onsen looking over the mountain is an unforgettable experience. We cannot recommend this experience enough!

We had a great stay and Ando and team really went out of their way to make us feel special. Would highly recommend a stay. Amazing food, amazing location anf amazing staff.

Is a place that would highly recommend to stay The rooms are spacious, clean, comfortable, warm and would like to recommend. The onsen is beautiful and very private. If there is a chance we will definitely go back.

Ando went above and beyond to ensure we had a great trip! Amazing hospitality and amazing meals! Onsens were perfect way to unwind and we were lucky enough to see the snow! Once again thank you Ando for such a wonderful time!

Amazing place with great scenery! Breakfast and dinner a must-have, and there is to-and-fro transportation from Suzaka/Obtuse stations to the inn. There was slight communication in terms of the language, but the hosts remained patient with us nonetheless!

I had a great stay!

Great hostel! Provides mixed dorms as well as private rooms, has a bar with electronic darts, a nice cozy lounge area, and they also offer breakfast and lunch service. Really conveniently location if you are planning on visiting Snow Monkey Park or the nearby mountains. The staff all speak great English which made checking in a breeze. Would definitely recommend if you are traveling through the area.

Great place!

Clean hostel, good amenities, great location, and a zen outlook from the lounge area. What more can you hope for?

Very good

I usually avoid hostels, but in this area it's hard to get something private unless you want to spend lots of money for a hotel. Surprisingly, it was good. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I was in a 16 people dormitory, but on both nights just shared the room with one person. Only downside is the room temperature in winter. The heater goes off after 3 hours, so you'll wake up in a freezing room.

Wonderful place! It's so full of character and charm, I definitely want to come back next time I'm in Nakano. ❤ Note for future travelers, because of the building's age, it's a bit chilly in winter. Dont be like me and forget to pack super warm sleep/lounge wear! 😅

Super clean and tidy hostel. Only a few minutes walk from the train station and easy connection to the monkey park and hot springs. Staff is really friendly and helpful. Thanks for the stay!

The place is great. It feels homey. I realy enjoyed my stay and the host is very attentive.

The BEST AirBnB host I have ever met! The sweet couple went above and beyond in accomodating me. From picking me up at the Station to dropping me off to the snowmonkey resort, providing landmark spots and them booking me for my bus for my departure date as i cannot speak japanese. If you ever want to visit the snowmonkey i highly recommend going with this one because they will pick you up and drop you off to the place which will actually save you money and they will also help you beyond their duties as a host. I am truly touch by their kindness. The whole facility is also beautiful <3

Very clean, comfortable space

I had a perfect stay at Mr Shuichi’s guesthouse. The room was clean and in good size. The blankets were warm and the beds were super comfy. The night and morning snow view outside the window was fantastic. Mr Shuichi responded immediately to our questions and offered to pick us up at the station as we did not rent the car. He also drove us to the nearby restaurant and local onsen at night. The sukiyaki place he recommended was amazing and we loved it very much. He also mapped out the detail route of our next destination and drove us to the station, making sure we are in perfect hands with the tickets before leaving. I highly recommend Mr Shuichi’s guesthouse if you are travelling to Nagano. :)

Excellent stay. Very homely feel with Mr Shuichi San and wife taking care of you. Let's start of by reviewing the accommodation. 5 stars for the cleanliness. Very comfortable beds and decent size room. Mr Shuichi San takes care of very small details like making sure that the bathrooms are cleaned again after the previous guest have used it before your use. There were several Japanese travellers, friends, mother daughters, during our stay. I always think that if locals choose to stay, it must be good, and I am right. Mr Shuichi San offered to pick us up at the train station upon our arrival as we did not rent a car. He also offered to drive us straight to the snow monkey park the next morning. Really very thoughtful as getting there by ourselves may not be easy. On the last day as we checked out, Mr Shuichi San even helped us mapped out the detailed travel schedule to Masumoto castle and Daio Wasabi farm, evening planning some time for lunch. Recognizing that we are on a very tight schedule, we couldn't have manage to make the round trip within a day without his detailed planning. Overall a very excellent stay. Can't ask for more.

Perfect place in rural japan with an incredibly hospitable host. Highly recommend

Suichi has a lovely home and he is indeed a lovely host! It's a shame that we did not get to see the snow monkeys in autumn (we studied the webcam for 2 weeks, and not many monkeys came down!) but still, our stay at Kanoka guesthouse was great. Suichi went through all the trouble to plan our plan B trip to Kurobe Gorge and to Shirakawago according to the timetables of 4 different modes of transportation! Tq Suichi!

Shuichi’s guest house was lovely it was sparkling clean and modern. Shuichi was very friendly and so helpful, he picked us up from the train station, dropped us off at the snow monkey park and helped us to know which buses and trains to get to our next location. We would really recommend staying.

This place was honestly much better than I expected for the price. It's clean, stylish, and helpful in many ways. Something that surprised me is that the ceiling in the bunk is higher than the one in my loft back in Kawasaki! For a 183cm man, it is very comfortable. I have already recommended it to some friends for their stay in Nagano soon!

Great place to stay, clean and well placed

It was a nice stay. Other guests were loud at night, and you can hear everything, but that it was not really a deal breaker. Location is very very close to a major train station and cool shops, and the beds were comfy. You get free drinks too, which is awesome.

Very good location with a bus stop right in front of Nagano station. There is a light, a power outlet, and a usb outlet each in a bed space like a capsule hotel, so charging is not a problem. There is also a dial-type valuable locker. However, dormitory people may be worried about other people's snoring, but I was fine ... The shower room has a mirror, wash basin and dryer in the dressing room of the private room, and there is a separate large mirror and wash basin. The free drink coffee at the cafe on the first floor was organic and delicious. Wi-Fi was fast and comfortable.

Quiet and reliable place, easily accessible, all good

great place great people !

Great place! Has a nice bar and is walking distance from the train station

Clean, efficient place with good amenities.

This was our second year staying with Chicca-San and Rietan-San, and we hope to continue to visit every winter after this one! We stumbled upon this Airbnb by accident last year, but have since sent friends and recommended a stay to anyone who will listen. Chicca and Rietan are two of the most lovely humans you will ever meet! They go out of their way to pick you up from the train station, get you to the bus stop on time, take you to try most magical outdoor onsen and of course, serve you absolutely incredible meals in their mountain home. If you want a truly memorable Japan experience, look no further! We came to ski both years, but we’re hoping to return for cherry blossom or beetle hunting season (yes that’s apparently a thing) soon! Thank you again Chicca and Rietan!

Amazing food. Breathtaking views. Great skiing. Yoshi provides you with the real thing. Prepare to be wowed. The warmest souls.

Our stay with Yoshihiro and Reiko was the best experience either of us have ever had with an AirBnB! Their warm hospitality, helpfulness and exceptional home cooked meals made our time in the mountains unforgettable. The breakfast and dinner provided was 5-star restaurant quality, better than most food you will find in Japan. I cannot reccomend this stay highly enough! If you are looking to stay in the area to visit Nozawaonsen, the snow monkeys, amazing local onsens or hunt for beetles in the summer definitely stay at Yoshihiro's!

Yoshihiro and Rieko are wonderful, kind, and such accommodating hosts! If you would like to understand the area and it’s culture, see a piece of Japan that is beautiful and unique, then this is the place for you. The food is delicious, the beds are comfy, and we haven’t slept that well in all of our travels! Easy communication, check-in, and assistance with organising your itinerary around the area. Definitely worth a visit!

This is by far the most amazing Airbnb and B&B experience we have ever had. Yoshihiro and Reiko are the most fabulous hosts. They drove our group of seven to and from their local onsen, ski slopes, and train station. They also organised ski lessons and gear for us at a very reasonable price. Breakfasts and dinners were delicious and plentiful. We enjoyed the variety served and it was such a treat to have delectable meals prepared by Yoshihiro who is a trained chef. Regretfully, we only stayed for two nights. We will return (hopefully soon) and the next time, it will be at least for a week of pampering by Yoshihiro and Reiko!

All the reviews are so very true. Yoshihiro san and his wife go the extra mile to make your stay the best it can possibly be. I am externally grateful to them for making my holiday so memorable.

Yoshihiro’s place is one of the true hidden gems of Airbnb. He is an amazing chef and a wonderful host. He and his wife are warm, friendly, and inviting. Staying with them has been the highlight of two different trips to Japan for me. I highly recommend his home.

Awesome. I'm a solo traveler and I have a wonderful time here. I was walking to Maguse Onsen and got trapped in the snow, Yoshi-san kindly picked me up and drive me there. 5 stars!

Koishiya ryokan is a really nice place, the room was beautiful and I had a great time going to the 9 onsen. The staff was wonderful, picking me up when I came in and getting me to the station with my luggage when I left.

Great staff who were very friendly and welcoming. Food in the restaurant was delicious.

great ambiance

Hot water tour, chartered hot spring was the best! I really want to come again without any complaints!

It is an awesome place. People working there are FANTSTIC. All of them are very nice person , very helpfully. The welcoming was incredible. They picked up and drop off from the bus station. Definitely I suggest this place . Thank you for everything.

Such a wonderful little (yet surprisingly big) place to stay if your headed skiing or, like us, to see the snow monkeys. The setting is absolutely stunning and the guys here go above and beyond to help. The rooms are spotless and cosy, we had never slept on a futon before but it was such a nice experience - the idiot proof instructions make it easy to set up. The restaurant / cafe area has a great social feel and the food was amazing. I would highly recommend walking from the station to the Ryoken as there is so much beauty in the area. We visited the private onsen as it came recommended and it was so worth it! Thank you so much for our night away from the hustle and bustle of the big cities.

This is a very cute house. Although the toilet and bathroom are shared, they are not crowded at all. The open-air wind is so beautiful. Although it is not in the house, it is very convenient to have a car to pick it up. The food in the restaurant is delicious. The reception staff at the front desk are so cute. They can speak English and Chinese in simple Chinese and Japanese. It is a good place to recommend to friends!

It’s very nice there. The shuttle service is perfect, restaurant, free Onsons, one private Onson (500¥), nice communication.. the room is a bit cold but it’s normal in this traditional houses.

Thank you very much for making me and my friend feel like home even we only stay here for one night ! They are a very caring and friendly couple. Outstanding amenity and chilling hot bath with a view. Nice to have a morning bath with a sunrise before heading to the ski resorts ! Also, it’s just walking distance from the hostel to Akakura Kanko Ski resort and the host are willing to drive you there. Please inform them first.

Located in the corner of the pension village, it was a very cool place near the ski resort and Akakura Onsen. They were run by a couple and they were both friendly. I was happy that the breakfast was handmade. I stayed in a twin room and there were other rooms with bunk beds, so it seems to be good for families. It was a wonderful summer vacation trip!

Thank you Yu-san and shine-san for their amazing hospitality! Both are really warm and welcoming. Loved the breakfast every morning. And both are very accommodating to send us to the ski resort and pick up from the restaurant. 10/10 would return and stay with them.

Perfect stay close to many ski resorts with hosts willing to drive to and from resorts everyday

Amazing place! Hosts are incredible. Food is delicious both breakfast and dinner. They have all kids of good information to share. Place is super clean but also very comfortable and home like. Bathroom tub is a bonus. We will definitely be back!

with quick responses my guests picked me up to and from Station and to and from mountain. the snow cabin dreams I've been waiting for my whole life included with a drying room, bath and meals. highly recommend if looking for mountain experience!!

Have been coming to Japan for the snow almost every year and Yu-San and Shige-San's hospitality is amazing even for the already high Japanese standards. Have stayed at 10+ ski lodge pension type accommodation in Japan, and this is heads above them all. You won't be disappointed.

This place is amazing! We stayed 2 nights and it felt like home away from home :) Yu-San & Shige-San are lovely people, they were so welcoming and always had a smile. They helped us a lot, Yu-San picked us up from the train station and brought us to the ski ground, he even helped us with the rentals of snowboard & wear. We were also given discount lift passes. Shige-San's cooking is delicious, the breakfast was great and we enjoyed sukiyaki a lot. We will definitely stay with them again, if we ever get the chance to visit myoko-kogen again. Stay at their home, you'll love them!

The location was very good and I stayed cheaply. It is recommended.

Good to stay here! Recommended! Very great place! I recommend it!

It is a repeater. The location is close to Yubatake, and there are plenty of restaurants. I like the hot springs where you can enter by time, and you can spend as much as you like at home. Comment response is very fast and safe ♪

Tomoyo-san is very hospitable. I enjoyed my stay tremendously. Drink sachets and a simple breakfast is provided. For me, the best feature is the private bath, if you do not wish to go to public onsen.

It is a very good place to relax and access the Kusatsu Onsen.

It is a house in a temple, about 5 minutes on foot from Yubatake. The host was quick and helpful, the amenities were fine, and the bread was served for breakfast. There are also kotatsu in the room, so it is recommended for those who like Japanese rooms with a focus on cospa!

Everything was fine,temple is beautiful and quiet, nice breakfast Very close to onsens.

Too comfortable ... don't want to go ...

Crisp sheets and warm rooms welcome you. If you imagine a normal private stay, you will be betrayed in a good way and you will want to come again.

Staying at this guest house in Iiyama was a very enjoyable experience, and probably the most accommodating experience we've had on our trip to Japan. As well as being such welcoming people, the guesthouse was a lovely Japanese style, with great amenities, and it was clean and comfortable! Toshi and Kiyomi made every effort to make us feel welcome, suggesting great activities such as paper making, and hikes, as well as taking us to the local onsen. We were sad to leave when the time came. Thank you Kiyomi and Toshi

Lovely helpful people. Semi-rural setting not far from Iiyama downtown. Good food and traditional Japanese room

Beautiful home, immaculate, fabulous breakfast. Toshi and Kiyomi were very generous with their time in telling us about Iiyama and Nagano Prefecture, and bringing us back and forth from town. We talked about gardening and Toshi sent us away with several white bitter melon seeds for Montreal gardening. Kiyomi sent us away with a lovely wash bookmark. Kind, generous hosts!

I miss words to say how grateful I am to have had the chance to meet Kiyomi and Toshi! I went to Iiyama for 2 days with two of my cousins and we really had a blast! I hightly recommend anyone this Guest House. You will feel the hosts' warmness at every moment of your stay. Even if sometimes the language barrier can be difficult the hosts are doing their best to make you feel comfortable and to let you enjoy the most of you stay by recommending local restaurants, museums, artcarft activities, onsen in the mountains... Their offer tons of extra services that will definitely make you stay one of the best experience you can have in Japan!

Kiyomi and Toshikazu are very nice host. They can advice you all the local places to go. They pick you up at Iiyama station. They can propose you tour to go to see the snow monkeys and amzing onsen in the mountains... I spent a very nice moment with them. I strongly recommand them and their house.

I would recommend Mark and Yoshiko's place to anyone. Staff and other guest were very friendly and nice. The place was super clean. The location is superb and the breakfast was a awesome touch and delicious. The place was quiet and one of the most peaceful places I've ever stayed. The sounds of the springs was very soothing. Overall Mark and Yoshiko's place was perfect place for me, and I hope to return soon!

Nathan and his wife are great hosts, very helpful and response in both accommodation purposes and local tips.

SUCH AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE! Nathan and Akiko made our stay so so easy and lovely! The breakfast is really delicious - Akiko is an amazing cook! We were about to hire ski gear, get lift passes etc so easily which took a lot of stress out of the trip. Great location - good distance to slopes (400m walk) and to Main Street (400m). Would 100% stay again

Perfect place to enjoy the skiing !!

I was really impressed with the whole experience at the lodge. The staff were always there to help and if I was to visit Nozawa Onsen again I would be more than happy to stay there. Also the service of the ski rental and lessons were great as all managed within the group which makes things simple! Thanks

Tomoyo-san was very friendly and accommodating. Her house is in a great location, and the futon were very comfortable and warm. We really enjoyed our short time in Kusatsu!

Good location, clean, and adequate heating facilities. I also experienced kotatsu.

Very beautiful and location is good. it's recommended. The bath is a small hot spring. It was a great trip. 真的 很 推 提 这里. Runway Jinji Old plate-like water fruit Tachibana. A small small hot spring with a shower.贼 stick. 也 Yubatake rejected. Recommendation

Tomo-san and her husband are gentle people. They prepared breakfast and sent me back to the station by car. The hot spring bath was comfortable.

Tomoyo's house is the best address you can find in Kusatsu Onsen! It is very well located, of course, but what makes the difference is Tomoyo and his family, kind and generous, who take great care of their guests! You can for example enjoy a breakfast each morning in your spacious and traditional room ... and you can count on your hosts to provide you with the best local addresses! Thanks again for everything Tomoyo!

The location was good and it was easy to go to the outside bath, but the private bath of the inn was also comfortable in the hot spring. The kotatsu in the room was also the best. Breakfast and coffee were prepared and it was very helpful. The feeling of distance that did not interfere so much was just right. I want to use it again when visiting Kusatsu.

Check in this listing for the second time, and I will probably go there again in the future. The location is very good, a five minute walk from Kusatsu Yuda, which is much cheaper than other hot spring hotels. Kusatsu Nikkei Onsen can be enjoyed, which is great. There is also Baigen Shrine next to it. The listing itself is the side building of Rikang Temple. The male lead is a mage and the house is legendary. The facilities are also good. Kusatsu's acid hot springs are directly entered into the home, but it is estimated that this resource will not be very useful if you go to Yutian. Remember to take a bottle before taking it. There is free parking, the breakfast is a little humble and there are some small breads. Kusatsu Japan's No.1 Hot Spring, Ri Akoji Temple is very cost-effective /

Great place to go ! simple and comfort !

What a gem of a spot! Super friendly and helpful hosts who did everything to help in answering questions, getting us to the slopes and help with renting gear, food suggestions and onsen’s. We’ll definitely be back!

This place is incredible! The place is so well presented and Kain and staff are always willing to help. We had 5 nights here and wished we had more. Thanks Kain!

Kain always went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and always had good advice . Nozawa Peaks was very comfortable and close to the slopes , with even great ski hire next door and popular restaurants beside that . Great Value and would highly recommend.

Awesome place to stay and cleaner and nearer than some homes I’ve stayed in the area. Great location with bars and restaurants right outside the door. Only downfall was no parking and I had to pay, but it was noted in the booking section. Definitely recommend.

Located in Nakao which is a short 7 minute walk to the nice cafes, bars and restaurants. Rooms are tidy, spacious and all you need. The drying room is great if you plan on doing some skiing or snowboarding. The communal facilities are all kept immaculate and the lounge area is a nice touch of traditional Japanese dining. Overall amazing value for money and great location right below the ski lift. Nakao Onsen is a 1 minute walk and a must do if you’re staying here.

Great comfy accomodation in a location you can walk to ski lifts, middle of town and onsens. Kain is a great host and helped us settle in and figure everything out about the town. 10/10 Would stay again.

All we can say is Wow! This newly renovated share accommodation is by far the best we’ve stayed in. Amazing amenities, clean cozy and comfy rooms, complete with an onsen kit! There is also an authentic Japanese style common room complete with a gorgeous kotatsu which is just perfect to relax under after a long day of snowboarding. The host, Kain is an awesome guy, full of local knowledge and info about the slopes. He provides maps, info booklets and a list of his favourite places to eat, which were all delicious! A perfect place to stay for our first visit to Nozawaonsen, can’t wait to come back next year!

Awesome! Can recommend this to anyone. Great hospitality and perfect with Kain explaining where to go, what to do's and how to behave in the many local (and free!) onsens (hot springs).

We were able to stay with peace of mind with friendly and helpful support. It's a recommended place to get to Nagano and major ski resorts in less than an hour! Thank you very much!

I used it for snowboarding trips with four men in their late 20s. Conclusion, everyone is very satisfied! A gentle couple in their 5s and 60s was running! Here are some good points because they are going to be long. ・ The contact before the reservation was quick, the response was polite and the reservation was smooth. ・ The check-in time could be changed on a case-by-case basis.・ Kitchen supplies are basically large pots, medium pots, frying pans, various dishes, chopsticks, cups etc. ・ If you have something else you want, you can lend it (if you live) ・ Seasoning was also available (check what you have before arrival) ・ The kitchen is relatively large (about 4 adults can taste and enjoy) ・ Is the table for four? There are two (large) types that can be used for various purposes.-The futon is soft and fluffy. It is very simple and gentle.-There is nothing around and it is okay to make sound at a reasonable volume? ・ The stars are beautiful (because there is no light around, you can see them very much) ・ Nagamine Onsen, which is about 10 minutes by car nearby, is old-fashioned and the best (but the shower hot water is almost water) ・ It's wide enough to run a shuttle if you don't have everything on it (I didn't do it) ・ Depends on the negotiations depending on how the sound is used. ・ It is spacious but warms up quickly if you use the stove. There is not much, but there are some troubles! ・ Is the cutting board a little small? ・ One kitchen knife ・ Isn't there a speaker that can be heard with Bluetooth etc.? I'm really thankful to you!

It is a wonderful hotel with rooms, accommodations and prices. It was run by a couple, and was able to respond to messages before check-in and hospitality during their stay. I would also like to stay when I come to this place. Great room! Having great hospitality, clean facility, traditional room.

Even though we ended up having to cancel our stay, Yukihito and Junko were great with communication and making sure we were all set for our trip! Very easy to work with, would recommend :)

We stayed for 3 people, We had a flexible stay with smooth communication such as changing the number of people and check-in time. I would also like to use it if I have the opportunity.

The best hospitality. Kindness. Very crean. You can feel Japanese culture. Awsome people. Good location.

Wonderful stay. Highly recommended. The hospitality was great with the smoked cheese and piano entertainment.

Very special house, in the middle of a mountain. In the back of the house is the highway and entrance of a mountain. Very natural scence and environment. The host and hostess are so nice that offered us very nice and warm support. There is also a very kawaii grandpa who enjoy bowsing Instagram. During the stay, we are also offered delicious local food, homemade cheese and hostess’s original classical music CD! Generally, a very nice stay here, and will definitely come back if I come to Nagano again.

A great place to stay for relaxation and pampering. Also perfect for a home base for skiing Myoko.

Wonderful place, such a beautiful area and lovely staff, good with English which was very helpful. A stylish restaurant and the food was great. I say a must for the experience.

Lovely place to stay. It is inviting and cosy.

Great place to stay by the lake and wonderful hosts and food !

They pick up and drop off at train station near by. This was great being I did not have my own vehicle. Also the shuttle to the ski resort was useful. The staff were helpful in choice of resort. Great for a winter sport enthusiast also looks like an awesome place to stay in warmer months.

It was a wonderful accommodation surrounded by nature. The food was delicious and the room was wonderful!

Fantastic place for anyone travelling alone or in small groups. The hosts are incredible and make you feel like part of the group. Would definitely stay again.

A home away from home! A perfect place to experience staying with a local family and having delicious meals on a daily basis. My children said staying at Chica-San place was the highlight of our trip (it wasnt Disneyland!). Chica San and Deiko San were great hosts and made us feel comfortable from the day we arrived until the day we left. The meals prepared by Chica San was amazing, we just could not wait for meal time. Rooms were comfortable and we had good sleep every night. There is a an area outside the house for the children to play sledges and snow. Highly recommende for families!

Yoshihiro-san is a great host. The rooms are simple but very clean and there is everything you need. The house is very cozy. In the dining room there is also a play area with blue blocks and a small table football for the children. With the super delicious breakfast and dinner there are also good excursion tips for the area. Yoshihiro-san's accommodation is definitely worth a stay. When we get back to the area, we will definitely stay with Yoshihiro-san.

The info on Airbnb is accurate so you know what to expect. The house is clean, food is good and plentiful and the hosts are very accommodating. I really enjoyed my stay with Yoshihiro san and his lovely wife and thoroughly recommend staying here if you find yourself in the Iiyama area. The best thing I can say is that I felt like I was visiting a friends house rather than staying at an Airbnb. The hosts are friendly and always trying to give you more to eat or drink, will plan mealtimes around your schedule and provide assistance/info for the places you want to go.

Comfortable and cozy accommodation with amazing food! We had everything we needed with yoshihiro being the kindest host ever!

This place is wonderful. We enjoy our days there . We want to ski and landlord help us book it.They also carry us there.The food here is brilliant. We enjoy a lot. The landlord can be a chief.He can speak English.And he can send us to many places .You can have your own room with a hot air conditioner.The landlord is also funny . He make as laugh the whole afternoon because of his funny jokes.

Fantastic hosts! And delicious meals with Yoshihiro. He was incredibly responsive, and took great pains to get us to where we needed to be. Very comfortable sleep.

Yoshihiro san and Rieko san were exceptional hosts. Nothing was too much trouble. The quality and variation of the meals were beyond expectations even though previous guests had raved about it. Yoshihiro ensured that we were fed and delivered to the local bus each morning to travel to Nozawa for skiing and on our return from the slopes he always promptly collected us from the bus to transport us to his welcoming home of warmth, delicious meals, and hot shower/bath. It was never too much inconvenience for him to take us to the outside onsen near his home or to the grocery store for supplies. We would not hesitate to stay with Yoshihiro san and Rieko san again in the future and can only highly recommend their place to people who appreciate Japanese hospitality at its best.

I believe like 99% of the guests who leave positive reviews for Yoshihiro-san, the majority agrees that the homemade meal he prepared for us are really restaurant standard and it’s makes us looking forward for meal times when we come back from our activities. He tries to arrange for pick up and drop offs which can accommodate the staying guests and everyone is more than willing to adjust their timing accordingly. It’s my first trip to Japan and Yoshihiro-san set the bar really high. Iiyama is a good place to go to and fro from Nagano/Nozawa Onsen etc. Would definitely book here again for trips back

This is truly the most wonderful place! We loved every second of our stay, and feel like we were so lucky to have landed here. The family is so friendly, kind, generous, fun, and helpful. They cook the MOST delicious food for breakfast and dinner -- make sure to bring your appetites, because the meals are very big! The rooms were clean and extremely comfortable, and the common space is warm and cozy. Junko provides lots of local tips and discounts, which make staying here an even more incredible value. We truly can't say enough wonderful things about this guesthouse. Best ever! We can't wait to come back!

very good for service and very good food for dinner and berakfast ！ 一级棒！

We had the most wonderful time! Junko and Miho were incredibly warm, hospitable and generous - we couldn’t have felt more welcome. From the moment we arrived they asked, what do you want to do here? Within 10 minutes they had mapped out an itinerary for us and then took us where we needed to go and arranged to pick us up. They also fitted us out with all of the snow gear we needed and a pass to the local ski lifts. After an amazing day skiing and bathing in onsens, we came back to the most amazing meals. We cannot overstate how good the food was! Also the views from our room over the snow capped mountains were incredible! Thank you Junko and Miho xx

It is the best hospitality. I am convinced that there are many guests.

This was one of the most amazing experiences we have ever had. Togari is a beautiful small village close to Nozawaonsen ski slopes. It snowed so much while were there and Miho drove us anywhere we wanted to go on request. Miho and her mother Junko went out of their way to cook us the most amazing food (also vegetarian on our request). I don't think I've have ever had a better home cooked meal. We will truly miss Miho and their lovely family and home. Thank you for an unforgettable time from Miriam, Naz, Sami and Mia. We will definitely return.

We had 3 days with Miho and Junko and their family and it was a truly special time for us. We were so well looked after and made welcome. The food is outstanding and so generous. We were helped in so many ways from ski gear to being walked to the skifield (5 minutes from the house) to luggage forwarding organisation as well as having special activites squeezed in like origami and calligraphy practice. Cant forget to say - the powder was out of this world!!

Amazing hospitality. If you want a true Japanese family experience, then this is the place for you. Would highly recommend to anyone!

What a wonderful stay at Ginreiso. The hospitality shown by Michiko, Miho and Junko together with their families was second to none. However, the highlight for us was the scrumptious food prepared for us every day. Absolutely divine! We were so well taken care of at Ginreiso and can’t recommend it highly enough.

Great place to stay, Takas cooking is incredible, really helpful and easy going staff, 100% recommend.

A chilled out and welcoming venue. Simple, but had all we needed! We showered every day in a different local onsen which was a great experience. Do your self a favour and have Takas sukiyaki for dinner one night!

Very nice!

Better than expected. The private sleeping space was really spacious. Was expecting a bunk bed kinda concept but this was already like having my own room. Both Taka And Yuji were very accommodating to every of our request. Till defo come back soon.

I had a very good stay there. The value for money is unbeatable for Nozawa. The food is super good and the alcohol too! Taka the boss and Yuuji are lovely hosts. I spent a great time there. Best value for Nozawa. The food is great and the sake too! The boss, Taka and Yuuji are super nice hosts. め ち ゃ め ち ゃ 楽 し か っ た! あ り が と う ご ざ い ま す ~

The amount of thoughtful touches is impossible to write down here - I was a bit nervous about a bunk style place, but you have so much privacy that it never felt like an issue. I met my ski partner for the trip on my first night, facilitated for sure by the communal atmosphere. You can get your ski pass here, they’ll hook you up with a deal for a local rental shop, and give you all the tips you need. I’ll be back.

The boss is very cordial and interesting. He is a senior ski master. He occasionally talks with the tenants about the wine and drives away the tiredness of skiing all day. The place to stay is a little far from the downtown area, but take a walk every day to go to the soup to eat, you can also see the beautiful evening scenery. Walking to the cable car station is not too far, about 5-10 minutes, just can be used to warm up. In general, it is considered to be medium above the standard of the backpack house.

Second time staying here. Place is clean, good location and affordable. Highly recommend.
