Scout loves
- The location – right on the slopes.
- The Craft Room downstairs is a great après bar.
- The apartments include large flat screen TVs with digital channels.
- Guests can use the onsen and kids’ room at Address Nozawa (Address Nagasaka’s sister property).
Scout tips
- The living areas only have a dining table and no sofa
- Order your groceries via the hotel prior to arrival. Taxis to the big grocery store are expensive and there aren’t many supplies in the village.
- There is a large, separate storage room for luggage and skis.
- Check-in is at Address Nozawa.
- Bathrooms are typically Japanese – i.e. small.
- The housekeeping service happens every 3 days.
- The apartments can get noise from the bar downstairs (which is mainly busy at apres and shuts between 8-10pm)
SCOUT REVIEW
Address Nagasaka is one of the few ski-in ski-out properties in Nozawa Onsen. This makes it perfect for families or couples wanting hassle-free access to the slopes.
While most of the accommodation in Nozawa Onsen is located in the heart of the village (at the bottom of a steep hill), Address Nagasaka is right next to the Nagasaka ski base area – you can literally ski to its front door. Just be aware that you will need to check-in at its sister property (Address Nozawa), which is located in the village.
Decorated in a contemporary Western style, Address Nagasaka consists of two one-bedroom apartments and two two-bedrooms apartments. The bedding is made up of twin, double and queen beds (Western style). All four apartments have a separate living room and kitchen, as well as a dining area with views of the mountains (either valley or slope). The kitchens have all the basics – enough that you can even cook dinner. It must be mentioned that Address Nagasaka is best for those wanting convenience over luxurious comfort. With only a small dining table and dining chairs in the living room (where the TVs are), the living areas aren't the most relaxing. They are also quite small. But if what's important to you is being able to step out the door onto the slopes, then you can't go past Address Nagasaka.
Given its location, the kitchen facilities in the apartments at Address Nagaska are very useful – as all of Nozawa Onsen's village bars and restaurants are a ten minute walk away, down a steep hill. However, the popular après bar, Craft Bar, is located right underneath Address Nagasaka – which is an excellent spot for post-ski hydration. But don’t fret – it only stays open until 8pm (or 10pm at the latest) so it won’t keep you from getting to sleep in your cozy apartment.
With only four apartments, this property gets booked out early. So if you want to stay here, you will need to plan ahead.
Who should stay here
Address Nagasaka is perfect for families or couples whose main priority is fast access to the slopes.
Scout Customer Reviews
Address Nagasaka was great. Wonderful location. It was clean, with good facilities. We didn’t find the walk down into town too bad, either. The pub downstairs had good hot chocolate, beer, and toasted sandwiches, though it was noisy until 10pm and there were often people hanging around the stairs. - Hillary, Scout customer, 2017
Location
Address Nagasaka is located right at the Nagasaka base area of Nozawa Onsen Ski Resort. From there you have several lift options as well as the ski school ‘train’ to take kids to the main ski school at Hikage. The village center is about a 10 minute walk down the hill (15 min up).
You can find a map of Nozawa here. Address Nagasaka is located in H6 where it says Craft Room. The main street of the village is O-yu Steet running diagonally across the map.
