Company information

View Hotel Shimataya is operated by Nozawa Hospitality, the largest hotel operator in Nozawaonsen. Throughout your stay, you will have access to their concierge services. We aim to offer you a wonderful Japanese experience, at the right price, for your winter holiday. Nozawa Onsen is unique in Japan, and one of the most special places we know anywhere. Our vision is to share this, carefully, with guests who understand our passion. We are humbled to be part of this thriving, strong, active mountain community. We respect its history and admire its sense of carefully directed progress. We are excited to show visitors the integrated blend of mountains, culture, food, water, and cooperation that is Nozawa Onsen’s heritage. We will strive to invest in tourism that contributes to the village’s well-being and becomes an integral part of it. We expect that while the village may change its visitors, the visitors will not change the village.

Property information

View Hotel Shimataya is aptly named: many of its rooms have stunning views of Mount Kenashi above the village, and the Chikuma Valley below. This spacious, airy property offers very comfortable western and Japanese accommodation, a short stroll from the moving walkway and hence the slopes. It’s a stone’s throw from several of Nozawa Onsen’s many great restaurants, 50 metres from the nearest “soto-yu”, or traditional public bath, and less than a minute’s walk to the starting station of the local bus service. View Hotel Shimataya is a non-smoking property and has in-house onsens. There is limited onsite parking.

Neighbourhood information

Traditional quaint Japanese village with fantastic snow (up to 12 meters/year!) and plenty of public onsens to enjoy at the end of a long day on the slopes. The locals are really friendly and the town is beautiful. And as an extra bonus, Nozawa was the host of the 1998 Winter Olympics! During the summer, the gondolas open for mountain biking activities.
