RDP 0 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Oyuki kigan 0 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 i really liked Kawaichikan (河一館）They have been extremely courteous, the service is excellent, and the good is great. And its pretty much downtown. Info here http://www.snowjapan.com/e/hotel/viewhotel.php?hotid=97 Link to post Share on other sites
RDP 0 Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 Nice, wonder why I didn't catch that one when I was searching yesterday... Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted January 25, 2008 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted January 25, 2008 If you didn't catch that one perhaps you didn't catch the others on this site http://www.snowjapan.com/e/nozawa-guide/nozawa-places-to-stay.html Link to post Share on other sites
tsondaboy 0 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I ve stayed at Kiriya ryokan a couple years ago. http://www.snowjapan.com/e/hotel/viewhotel.php?hotid=45 Its what most foreigners would consider a typical Japanese ryokan. We had the room on the top left corner, great view. Link to post Share on other sites
Haydn 0 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I am supposed to be staying at Kiriya soon. Is that the outside onsen in the picture? From the snow on the rocks I suspect not. Did you enjoy it? I am looking at having a couple of nights at Kameya also Link to post Share on other sites
tsondaboy 0 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 They don't have a "rotenburo" (outside onsen). Thats just a pond inside a traditional japanese garden. But they have certified real onsen water in their baths. Link to post Share on other sites

RDP 0 Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 What Nozawa Onsen Hotel has (which others don't seem to have) is Kashikiri. Big plus to places that do in my books. Link to post Share on other sites
grazza 2 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 We just spend 6 days at Ryokan Sakaya. Can unequivocally say it was the best (not grandest, but the best) hotel I have ever stayed at. Food is beyond amazing. Service was the most thoughtful and generous I have ever experienced. Beautiful, beautiful place. Link to post Share on other sites
RDP 0 Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 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! Link to post Share on other sites

RobBright 35 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 managed to get a spot at seisenso on the 24th/25th through this site. will let you know then what it's like - just itching to get there as everywhere is crowded up then Link to post Share on other sites
co_hiker 0 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hey Rob, How was Seisenso? Just booked a few nights there for this winter. Haven't seen any reviews of it - hope I didn't make a mistake! Thanks ~Tom Link to post Share on other sites
Paul&Kerry 0 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 We stayed at Seisenso over Christmas and thought it was sensational: - the staff were wonderful - it's an easy walk to everywhere in the village - it's a tradional place, so you get to experience futons, onsens, tatami rooms, etc - the food was delicious, traditional food that was beautifully presented and an absolute taste sensation. We'd highly recommend this place if you're open to new experiences Link to post Share on other sites
7-11 2 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Seisenso were good when I stayed too, liked it there. I found the people of Nozawa in general to be very friendly and welcoming. Link to post Share on other sites
