Sakakiya

My review for this place is not as negative as some of the comments on Google or trip and here is the reason why: i stayed in 3 different places in Nozawa osen this trip, this has by far the best value for money, cheapest with private toilet and real onsen. Location is good and the bed / futon was made for me instead of me having to make my own bed in other places and with shared bathroom and no real onsen. This place provided me with hot water and green tea and snack inside the room of which some other places didn’t. There is a dog in the premise and it barks when you first walk in, I think he is notifying his owner of new guest as the old man’s hearing is not good. The dog never barked at me anymore when I go in and out of the premise once I have checked in. The old man doesn’t speak English and he is not the nicest Japanese you will ever meet, but Google translate works fine.

Horrible rude owner who is probably half deaf…kept shouting and screaming in Japanese at checked in. The recommended antidote is to shout back and you will see him whimpering like a lame duck. And there’s a stupid dog taking up almost half the arrival lobby. If you have heavy luggage’s, good luck, there ain’t any elevators. Absolute crap hotel!!!

Friendly staff and decent food arrangement.

位置就在公交站旁邊，去雪場交通也方便，旅館有些年頭兒，典型的和式酒店。設施不能和現代化的酒店相比，但餐食安排得挺豐富，工作人員都很熱情。
