Comfy and cosy place to stay with a quite traditional Japanese flavour. Convenient to Nagasaka Gondala and ski hire places. Staff were very friendly and helpful but the shared bathroom facilities were a bit limited. Breakfast was an additional cost (it was a reasonable price) but ideally should have been included in the room cost.

Snowboard by day, Onsen by night
When we came to Japan we wanted to know what the Japanese lifestyle was like. We wanted to remove our shoes at the door, sleep on futons that we had to pull out, eat at a low table, what it might be like at a Japanese bath house, eat traditional Japanese food. This Inn provided it all. It was also very convenient in terms of renting snowboarding gear, walking to the slopes and walking to the onsens. I can not recommend this inn enough. Don’t let the shared bathrooms scare you because during my stay I didn’t run into a single soul while using the facilities. You can also purchase breakfast there and I highly recommend it. The morning salmon was probably some of the best fish I’ve had. You can also purchase a hot pot dinner with all you can eat salad bar. We did the regional beef and the sauce you make it with is amazing. I always felt welcomed and the inn owner is an awesome guy and one of the nicest people I’ve ever met.

We had a great one night over Christmas at Wafu Pension. The staff was super friendly and the room was clean and comfortable. It had a stunning early morning view with soft-coloured mountains. The breakfast was half buffet style, due to allergy I was happy with the option not to take the things I couldn't eat.

Wafu was a lovely little comfortable ryokan. It was shared facilities that were kept extremely clean. It had everything we needed for our stay. The owner and staff were very friendly and very helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place to others. Note the place was a little noisy at night but generally settled by 10.30.

Great little hotel in Japanese style. Rooms were very clean and warm and while the futon Bed was very firm (in true Japanese style), I got used to it and slept well. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended place to stay.

Thanks Wafu Pension
We loved our stay at Wafu Pension. We loved the traditional Japanese experience. Masaki was always very helpful. The breakfast was fine and quick. The hire equipment was excellent. And its a great location, just a short 5 minute walk to the gondola.

The property is not easy to find as it's not signed. You are also charged ¥300 for each towel which I found very strange especially after we had paid extra for an ensuite bathroom and then pay for towels to use it

We loved our stay at Wafu Pension Miyazawa in Feb 2019. It is in the perfect location, halfway between the main street of town and the main Gondola so never have to walk too far to get anywhere. All the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. We arrived late at 2am and the staff were happy to organise a late check-in and stay up for our arrival. The room and all facilities were kept extremely clean. The traditional style beds were the comfiest compared to others we have slept on before. We had dinner only one night however it was delicious, highly recommend the hot-pot! And the breakfast is very good value. Highly recommend Wafu Pension Miyazawa! We will be back for sure!

Had a very memorable stay at Nozawa
We stayed for 4 nights and overall, our stay was good. The inn was a few minutes walk to shuttle bus going up to Nagasaki slope and a few minutes walk going down to Nozawa town. Definitely very convenient specially when you have smaller kids. Rental is cheaper than when you rent at the slope area. Dinner was good. Highly recommended to try.
