Boasting a garden and views of mountain, Urasa Cottage @ Snow Countryside is a recently renovated country house situated in Minami Uonuma, 29 km from Gala Yuzawa Snow Resort. The accommodation has a spa bath. The country house features rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. Ms Li was super hospitable! We soon realized that we came from sunny Singapore and the family chatted comfortably. The place is very clean and amenities well planned and detailed. It was snowing heavily and the house had more than adequate heaters to keep us warm and comfy. Photos shown and description are exactly what you will get.

Set in Yuzawa and with Gala Yuzawa Snow Resort reachable within 2.3 km, Yukinohana offers a restaurant, allergy-free rooms, free WiFi and a bar. 22 km from Naeba Ski Resort and 9.3 km from Maiko Snow Resort, the hotel features ski storage space. The hotel provides a sauna and a 24-hour front desk. We would say everything (we visit in Oct2023). Staffs are nice and helpful, and make our stay truly feel like second home. Room is clean and well prepared. Beds are comfy, and have no problems to our sleep. Private bathes and public bath are clean and well-organised. If you use it during day-time, you will find a panoramic view - which is so splendid! (we enjoy it so much!). Breakfast in Japanese style - which they serve a lots of stuffs in set - however we must say it truly fulfil our day. We also get discount for dragondora ropeway ticket (I think you can get cheaper price if you buy at some designated hotel - however we cannot read japanese, so we just ask the price and book through the hotel instead). In brief, we recommended and we would go back again!

The farm stay features rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. Absolutely incredible! We stayed for one night and had a lovely host family who welcomed us with homemade tea and drove us to the local onsen and sushi shop. The guesthouse was very cute and cozy and had a little balcony for us to sit and watch the snow fall! Highly recommend!

Situated in Myoko, 31 km from Zenkoji Temple and 33 km from Nagano Station, Pension Moomin Papa features accommodation with free WiFi, air conditioning, a garden and a shared lounge. The accommodation has a spa bath.

A ski pass sales point and ski storage space are available at Pension Moomin Papa, and guests can go skiing in the surroundings. Classic charming pension with the most friendly owners! The private onsen across the street is incredible, I had it to myself every night, and there is an option for breakfast. The room was perfect for two of us, and Papa was so kind to drive us to and from the Myokokogen station and the mountains, and also on some errands which was so kind. It feels like you are stepping into a place that can’t be created, a piece of personality.
