We stayed here at the end of our time in Japan as a treat and for the traditional Japanese inn / onsen experience and we certainly weren’t disappointed. The room was huge and the seating area was seamlessly converted for sleeping by the hotel staff while we ate our dinner. The food was traditional Japanese with seemingly endless small plates of delicacies (a similar story at breakfast). The onsen was fabulous - we used it 3 times in the one night we were there and loved it. All in all a great experience and lovely place to stay.

What a lovely spot! 2 minutes walk from the train station, we stayed in a traditional Japanese room which was great fun. The room was huge, 2 comfortable futons, low table with floor seats, kettle in the room (bring your own tea or coffee) and a good shower. The owners were extremely helpful despite the language barrier (Google translate was successfully used). They advised us on onward train timetables, gave us a ride to the Snow Monkeys Park saving us having to wait for the bus, picked us up again, gave my husband and I a private onsen session and delivered a huge cooked Chinese breakfast to our room in the morning. When we left they gave us an ornamental chopsticks set as a gift. Can highly recommend this ryokan.

Gem in Nozawa. One of the best ryokan in Nozawa. Professional top quality staff. Breakfast and dinner (optional) are served on the second and third floor. English speaking staff available. A showcase of Japanese hospitality.  We had the kaiseki dinner and shabu shabu dinner at the ryokan which was excellent.  Within the ryokan, there are single sex indoor and outdoor onsen (with sauna facility) and also a private onsen for reservation. The ryokan is in the middle of Nozawa village, with a short main street of shops and many free public onsens. There are a few hot steam buns stores and also multiple craft beer joints.  From the ryokan, walk 3-5 minutes up a steep hill to reach the moving walkway up the ski hill. Very convenient.  From Nozowa village bus station, there is a free shuttle bus which can bring you to five different ski resorts around town.  Ryokan Sakaya is highly recommended and early reservations are necessary

I cannot recommend staying at Iiyamakan enough. The amenities and cleanliness are both great, but what sets it apart is the service, which even for Japanese standards is unmatched. The host was extremely helpful, authentic, and friendly, going above and beyond to ensure I had a comfortable stay and an enjoyable time. The breakfasts each morning were huge, very tasty and diverse; each night the hot tub was clean and prepared; and when it was cold, the host made sure I understood how the heater worked, so I never got cold. He even packed me a lunch each day and offered to drive me to a sightseeing spot more than 30 minutes away, telling me about the local mountains and culture on the way. The authentic care and energy that was put into my stay made it one I wont forget. Definitely worth every penny.

On such a hot day, there is no air-conditioning on the 4th floor. I vaguely feel that there is discrimination in the room booked through Ctrip. The next day we negotiated to change to the 6th floor.

Likes the breakfast, room was huge. Great if you’re skiing or snowboarding at Ryu. However, hotel does not have parking, requires snowmobile to shuttle up and down or sometimes climb the hill if the shuttle is not available. Overall, I would visit again only if I’m skiing there.
