Book APA Hotels Nozawaonsen accommodation from NZ$263

Awesome location! Walkable from Yudanaka Station. Has a shuttle service for pickup and dropoff to the station. Short walk to the bus stop to the Snow Monkey Park. Breakfast buffet is decent. Right next to a brewery if you want to try some local crafted beer. Rooms are nice and big. 2 public onsens and also a private onsen is available. Downside is the kaiseki dinner option may not to available so prepare to plan for dinner elsewhere. They have a do-it-all-staff, this one receptionist was checking us in/out, driving the shuttle van, and communicating in English~ impressive.

Excellent resort with Western amenities and very nice rooms and facilities paired with classic Japanese charm and culture. Would definitely stay here again. Our family absolutely loved it!

Wonderful little place, very close to slopes with wonderful service.

Total bargain. Lovely, helpful staff.

We stayed at building #2 and #6 due to limited room availability during winter break. Rooms look totally different, one from 2010(#2) vs other from 1980(#6). They are priced as such, too. So set your expectations properly. Interestingly, #6 is easier to access Hiuchi-no-yu(onsen). #2 has good bathroom so you may want to avoid walking all the way to Hiuchi. Dining options are limited to resort itself and price is high to promote all-inclusive plans. Their in-house convenience shop charges extra for everything. This old style business model has to go. I wish the resort invites usual convenience stores like 7-11 so that guests will have access to better/cheaper breakfast. As a ski resort, Naeba is good. Everyone can access green course on top of gondola #2 which has fresh snow compared to usual resort’s green courses at the bottom of the mountain. And those folks can take gondola back down to skip blue courses. Though you have to pay little extra, I highly recommend trying Dragondra for its view and better snow in Tashiro area, at least one day.

👍 good
