Nozawa Onsen is a working mountain community of 3,400 residents, a home to both farmers and international athletes, and deeply committed to maintaining its lifestyle and traditions, both out of respect for its ancestors and to provide a sustainable path to the future. While Nozawa Onsen has been a much-loved domestic retreat for more than 200 years, over the last decade it has rapidly gained a reputation as an international vacation retreat destination, and now offers not only depth of tradition and the experience of a mountain village, but also the comforts that you expect - good coffee, a great choice of restaurants, and of course, our offering: supremely comfortable accommodations and world-class service.
