Nozawa Central Apartments in Nozawa Onsen

Really good ski resort with lovely small village. It is a calm and relaxed place probably not the best for partying. Ski resort has some really nice and runs.

The location amazing. The staff amazing. The rooms : we had five beds with a mix of Japanese and very comfortable western style mattresses with comfy pillows. Breakfast : amazing and changed every day. Thank you to the chef.
Snowboarding : well!!! Amazing.
Special thanks to Saki , Akira and the rest of the polite and attentive staff for making our trip unforgettable.
For dinner or lunch I’d strongly suggest “sparina” (the paid onsen). It has an amazing food hall with many choices and large portion dishes suitable to fill hungry teenagers. You don’t need to pay the 900yen fee to use the cafeteria but I’d recommend having the outside onsen experience at least once. Especially the outdoor one.

Central apartments staff so friendly Jess was lovley could not do enough for you. Very clean great location to ski feild restaurants. Starter pack for breakfast was a nice touch eggs bread cearl .Ski hire down stairs so easy to organise your hire.

Very friendly, great breakfast. Fantastic gear room, very close to onsens and the Swiss bakery

Friendly staff. Good facilities and close walk to lifts.

Villa Nozawa was a really great place to stay for the few days we were there. Prices are cheap when considering there are ski lift packages, and rooms are a very comfortable size. There is a communal kitchen that you can use from 12 to 8pm and a communal fridge where you can keep your food. They provide breakfast which varies every day and can be Western or Japanese, and also have tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and milk for everyone to freely use throughout the day. It is a 5 minute walk from the nearest bus stop, and another 5 to the ski lifts. Ski hire is also made easy, as you can return and settle the rental at the villa between 5 and 7 pm. If I were to take another ski trip in Japan I would honestly 100% stay here again! It was just so convenient and comfortable!!

We have just returned from a 7 night stay at Villa Nozawa and had the most amazing time.

The staff particularly Ash, were so friendly and accommodating and made sure we were looked after at all times. Ash greeted us every day with a huge smile and wonderful advice. The staff recommended and booked us into great restaurants and always provided us with great eating options. All staff were warm and friendly and really made us feel at home.

The villa is located close to the Karasawa slope which made getting to all parts of the mountain extremely easy. There is a fantastic teppan restaurant across the road and a beautiful Swiss bakery only a few minutes walk selling yummy calzones and pizzas. Being only a short 10 min walk through the gorgeous village to get to the Main Street it was located in a great spot.

The rooms were a great size, the beds comfy and had gorgeous views of the surrounding mountains. Bathrooms were clean and tidy.

We hired all our gear through nozawa rentals and our gear was delivered to the villa and was returned for us which was nice and easy. They also serviced my board which was great.

Wine was cold and cheap! (Staff has it chilled ready for us every afternoon!) The common room was stocked with great games and people and it was a great spot to hang out with the other guests after a day boarding.

Breakfast in the morning was delicious and always served with a smile!

There isn’t a thing a could fault from our stay at Villa Nozawa. If I could give 10 stars I would.

We will be taking our kids back next year and our friends and family and will definitely be staying here again!

Thanks for a trip to remember!
