Sakura 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.

A brand new house, completed in Feb 2023, this exceptionally well-appointed, three-bedroom home is located in the oldest district of the Nozawa Onsen village close to Kumanotearaiyu, reputedly the very first onsen in the village. This gorgeous property has underfloor heating throughout, 3 ensuite bedrooms (one with a panorama bath) with western bedding, for up to 6 people. A loft area can accommodate 3-4 small children on futons. Equipped with a full entertaining kitchen, living area (with gas flame fireplace, smart TV, and built in sound system), dining area and a home office area, Sakura is pet-friendly and well suited to accommodate all of your needs.

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.
