I had an amazing time! The hotel was run by a lovely family and they even had a dog downstairs! The first day, they drove us to Kagura and picked us up later which was really convenient. There was snow if you knew where to look and follow forecasts carefully. The nice lady at the inn made sure we were well fed with delicious homemade food. Naeba is easy walking distance and on the second day they took us to a nice little onsen in town that had an outdoor bath! Would love to go back

This was my first long weekend snowboarding and I was a little nervous to go but I had so much fun! I made lots of friends who I would run into across the resort and go snowboarding with. Despite the wind occasionally closing top area, there was always somewhere to go. I like how the hotel is located close to the yama no Eki so you have good access to the bus to get to other areas (although you can traverse anywhere). Had fun beating Daff and KG at blokus and getting panini revenge.

This was absolutely a powder weekend. I was surprised that the hotel for this trip was so clean and comfortable! Even if you aren’t a pro, you can have fun at the beginner lesson and enjoy all the onsen in town and what a cute town it is. The hotel itself was located close enough to a lift and there were lots of cute restaurants in town too. The snow and slopes were the best I’ve ever experienced and I can’t wait to go back.

Had a wonderful time! The rooms were fantastic, the food was just what you expect! Everything was expertly planned and ran on schedule.
It would be nice if we could have some brief input on random roommate pairings (sleep times, language).

It was a well organized trip as always. The hotel was just a 3 min walk to the closest lift. We had great breakfast and delicious hot pot for dinner. With the rental shop across the street it was a really comvenient location, even with an Onsen. Nozawa offers a great variability of pists and the numerous Onsen in the village are a big plus. It was snowing a lot during our trip, with great powder snow.

Everyone is always very nice and helpful! Nozawa is a wonderful place to ski. Thank you very much!

Well organized and convenient trip! Naeba is not too far from Tokyo so the ride wasn't too long or stuffy, and love that everything from food to lodging is covered. Hotel was near the resort, powder was also great. Would definitely join again.
