Snowboard by day, Onsen by night
When we came to Japan we wanted to know what the Japanese lifestyle was like. We wanted to remove our shoes at the door, sleep on futons that we had to pull out, eat at a low table, what it might be like at a Japanese bath house, eat traditional Japanese food. This Inn provided it all. It was also very convenient in terms of renting snowboarding gear, walking to the slopes and walking to the onsens. I can not recommend this inn enough. Don’t let the shared bathrooms scare you because during my stay I didn’t run into a single soul while using the facilities. You can also purchase breakfast there and I highly recommend it. The morning salmon was probably some of the best fish I’ve had. You can also purchase a hot pot dinner with all you can eat salad bar. We did the regional beef and the sauce you make it with is amazing. I always felt welcomed and the inn owner is an awesome guy and one of the nicest people I’ve ever met.

We had a great one night over Christmas at Wafu Pension. The staff was super friendly and the room was clean and comfortable. It had a stunning early morning view with soft-coloured mountains. The breakfast was half buffet style, due to allergy I was happy with the option not to take the things I couldn't eat.

Wafu was a lovely little comfortable ryokan. It was shared facilities that were kept extremely clean. It had everything we needed for our stay. The owner and staff were very friendly and very helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place to others. Note the place was a little noisy at night but generally settled by 10.30.

Our family enjoyed our stay in Wafu Pension MIYAZAWA. The staff were excellent and even took us to the bus with all our luggage during s snow storm. It is a great place to stay with close access to the ski lifts and restaurants.

Great little hotel in Japanese style. Rooms were very clean and warm and while the futon Bed was very firm (in true Japanese style), I got used to it and slept well. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended place to stay.

Thanks Wafu Pension
We loved our stay at Wafu Pension. We loved the traditional Japanese experience. Masaki was always very helpful. The breakfast was fine and quick. The hire equipment was excellent. And its a great location, just a short 5 minute walk to the gondola.

The property is not easy to find as it's not signed. You are also charged ¥300 for each towel which I found very strange especially after we had paid extra for an ensuite bathroom and then pay for towels to use it

Response from Owner on 11 Jan,2020
Thank you for staying at our place. Pensions and guesthouses in Japan are different from hotels and Ryokans, so there are many places where you need to pay for bath towels. Many Japanese customers bring bath towels, so the room fee does not include bath towels. Face towels and toothbrushes are included in the accommodation price and are provided. However, as foreign customers are increasing, we would like to consider including bath towels in the accommodation price from next season. Thank you for your valuable opinion.

We loved our stay at Wafu Pension Miyazawa in Feb 2019. It is in the perfect location, halfway between the main street of town and the main Gondola so never have to walk too far to get anywhere. All the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. We arrived late at 2am and the staff were happy to organise a late check-in and stay up for our arrival. The room and all facilities were kept extremely clean. The traditional style beds were the comfiest compared to others we have slept on before. We had dinner only one night however it was delicious, highly recommend the hot-pot! And the breakfast is very good value. Highly recommend Wafu Pension Miyazawa! We will be back for sure!

Had a very memorable stay at Nozawa
We stayed for 4 nights and overall, our stay was good. The inn was a few minutes walk to shuttle bus going up to Nagasaki slope and a few minutes walk going down to Nozawa town. Definitely very convenient specially when you have smaller kids. Rental is cheaper than when you rent at the slope area. Dinner was good. Highly recommended to try.

算是與滑雪場距離蠻近,走路大概十分鐘就到達了,去商店、食店或溫泉也是走路十分鐘就到,適合沒有租車的朋友! 房間和公共浴室還算乾淨,可免費洗衣和乾衣。 付費的早餐一般,但足夠吃飽就去滑雪,付費晚餐的壽喜燒非常滿意,牛肉量好多,味道和質素也很好! 床鋪和床具都很舒服,枕頭有足夠的承托力。

老闆人很親切,而且有公車站接送服務真的超棒,省時又省力。旅館離雪場也很近,散步約五分鐘就到Gondola,早上可以很悠閒的慢慢來都無所謂。往下走就是商店街,距離也是很近,就算買了一堆東西,也不用擔心要提很遠。餐點的部分每天都是不同的主題,而且份量十足,一天的疲勞吃完都恢復💪

First of all,you did not stay at our place. We don't know why you're valued. You booked our place for 22nd Dec-26th Dec on 12th Apr. And then you demanded to refund on 20th Dec,2day before you check-in. We have not sold our room you have kept for 8 months more. Why we have to accept to refund ? You are too late to cancel,we can not re-sell the room. We are guest house,are not Snow Resort.We are open even if the snow resort is not open. Additionally,Nozawaonsen Snow Resort opened 24th Dec,and we take our customers to Ryuo Snow Park have already opened for free before they opened. Anyway,you should not book without accepting the condition the plan is non-refund plan.

十分喜欢这个离雪场只需步行5分钟左右的日式传统木屋,主人夫妇2人十分友善,有问必答,尽管他们的英语能力有限,但是能够解答一般常见问题。超爱酒店提供的早餐和晚餐,日式传统早餐,搭配合理,美味;晚餐,如点火锅,则可在晚8:30前,免费无限量加点火锅原料,牛肉锅的牛肉除外。免费的洗衣服务,对我们尤为重要,每天都能穿干净,干爽的卫衣去滑雪。尤为赞下男主人,他是个多面手,能修理滑雪装备,能下厨,能开车,能指导去哪里泡汤,能...反正强力推荐该日式传统LOGE给各位雪友。

余额为1,500日元(晚餐)+ 500日元(早餐)= 2000日元与餐和仅房间之间。 我们的晚餐是“所有你可以吃的计划”。 我们的意思是我们的晚餐价格便宜且吃得足够大,但这不是豪华晚餐。我们已经提前提供了晚餐信息。 如果您想要享受豪华晚餐,您必须预订5星级或4星级酒店,不是因为我们的宾馆是2星级。 我们不能提供1,500日元的豪华晚餐。
