9.6/10Wonderful experience at the lodge for 8 skiers. Believe this is one of the only places in town that can accommodate such a large group. The location is as good as you'll get in Nozawa, not ski-in/out but a very brief walk to your first chair lift/moving walkway. Incredibly warm and friendly staff, at least one of the beautiful onsen were always open for guest use, the Japanese robes were perfect for lounging after a day of skiing, and the beds were outrageously comfortable. Nozawa itself is incredibly charming and filled with incredible restaurants - I would go more to visit Nozawa rather than for the skiing which is pleasant and big enough to explore for a few days but more advanced skiers will likely find it too easy. That said, we didn't do much off-piste as the powder wasn't too inviting the days we were there....
