FYI, booked into Yado-Gen (hope I can put this down). Will report back on the experience. One thing for sure, the place is nothing to look at from the outside. RDP

Thank for the reccomendaiton on Sakaya, unfortunatley there is a big competition taking place the weekend I am going, so am moving over to Myoko to avoid the crush. This is all good info for anyone going to Nozawa, thanks!

*sigh* After trying to go to Nozawa in a few weeks I finally found out why all the places I would want to stay at are booked out --- Big Competition taking place. So, backup plan is Myoko area. Greatful for any good Ryokan reccomendaitons, preferably with good food and onsen (Roten, Kashikiri). I saw the hotel list on the main snowjapan pages, but would like comments if possible. Thanks in advance, RDP

What Nozawa Onsen Hotel has (which others don't seem to have) is Kashikiri. Big plus to places that do in my books.

SJForums: Noted, thanks! tsondaboy: thanks!

Nice, wonder why I didn't catch that one when I was searching yesterday...

Looking to stay in Nozawa soon. I have been to some 'western' places there before and also the Nozawa Onsen Hotel. I have friends coming over and I would like to have them stay at a Ryokan. Besides Nozawa Onsen Hotel can anyone reccomend (based on experience) a place around the same budget as Nozawa Onsen Hotel? Thanks, RDP
