    Bit of a walk to the gondola but you can store ski boots, skis ect for 300 yen a day at the first store on the left as you come off the moving walk

    Beautiful gracious Japanese hospitality. Very helpful and polite staff, spotless and clean. The breakfast and coffee at Hardy’s across the road is fantastic.

    I didn't check the pricing of other places closer to the ski fields, and if the quality was equally as good, I would consider them. However, if they are far more expensive, I would not hesitate to stay at Nakajimaya Ryokan again.

    Loved most things about this place and would definitely recommend it to others. The owners are great people and helpful.

    Our hosts were fabulous, extremely helpful with anything we needed. We loved our Japanese style breakfasts which set us up for the day skiing. The inhouse onsen was great. The location was good, just a 5 minute walk to the centre of town (uphill). We had one evening meal there which while it was expensive, it was definitely worth it, a real Japanese feast, great experience. We would highly recommend the Nakajimaya Ryokan.

    Yukiko and staff went above and beyond for us. The dinner service was excellent Close promixity to the main street but far enough away from the noise Across the street from one of the 13 onsens in this town Dry room in the basement for all your wet ski gear

    Third visit to this property. I really like this ryokan. This last stay was great overall. The room was a smaller unit than expected. This might have been an oversight by me during the booking process.

    If I have to say anything, the beds are hard, but it’s a ryokan so this is to be expected.

    A traditional Ryokan accomodation with warm Japanese hospitality. Yukiko and her husband are amazing hosts. We return to Nozawa as often as we can for ski season. This was our first stay with Nakajimya, we loved it! A large and spacious room that was beautifully presented and cleaned every day. We enjoyed the Onsen on the first floor everyday with the clean onsen pjs and towel kits. Located at the bottom of the village, it is quiet and peaceful but an easy walk to the centre of town. The ryokan provides a drying room, but never hire skis in town and walk up hill, this is a steep village! Always hire at Hikage and leave your gear on the hill each day. The team here made us feel like family, so welcoming and caring.
