Shibu-Onsen hot spring baths and Ryoken

The absolute best Onsen I have ever been to. I highly recommend a stay here. The hot springs are so soothing, and there is a variety of baths to choose from. The food can’t be beat, I truly enjoyed the multi course traditional meals. The staff goes above and beyond and exceeded my expectations. A big thanks to Shoya! He made my stay extra fun.

One of the Very Best

Reviewed By chackeridge

We have just spent a glorious week in this wonderful hotel. We have travelled the world and stayed in many great hotels but we would rate this as one of the very best. As a Ryokan, it is a traditional Japanese hotel. It is so welcoming and full of character that staying there is a real pleasure. Our day started with a breakfast served by the attentive dining room staff, we had our separate cubicle. However, the highlight was the daily visit to bath in the hotel's own onsen (Japanese Spa Bath). We can truly say that we were treated like royalty, as were all of the guests. Nozawa Onsen is a delightful ski resort and Tokiwaye Ryokan is the gem in its heart.

Fabuluous weekend!

Reviewed By HenningSchmidt

The rooms were very clean and our expectations concerning a traditional ryokan were fulfilled. The staff was very welcoming and friendly even though COVID 19 rules are a challenge to everyone these days. The staff was professional at all time and we would stay there again if we manage to come again... The breakfast we booked was traditional Japanese style and we enjoyed it. If you want to see the Snow Monkeys or the vicinity stay at Tawaraya!

Superb meal

Reviewed By Hallomega

I visited this ryokan for their seasonal kaiseki meal and was not disappointed. Excellent and timely service was provided by the young Vietnamese waitress as course after course followed. A menu in English was very useful to explain each dish. The food was beautifully presented and each morsel was delicious. Highly recommended.

Got My Snow Fix

Reviewed By tttora11

Wanted to see some proper snow after being deprived of it for a couple years in Tokyo, and certainly got my fix here. Town and countryside were a magical white on arrival, and had some steady snow falls during my 1-week stay. Also easy access to the local ski-fields at nearby Shiga Kogen and Ryuo. Hotel is a 10 min walk uphill from station, which is terminus for a convenient connecting express train from Nagano bullet train. Friendly, professional hotel staff. Nice town/mountain views from lobby/lounge. Delicious kaiseki-style breakfast. Two types of baths - large public bath downstairs, and open air private bath on the roof (great for watching the sunset), and they even have gaijin-sized yukata owns! Nice town/mountain views from lobby/lounge. Good base for exploring nearby shrines/temples around Yudanaka and historic Shibu Onsen. Of course the visit to the snow monkeys is a highlight, not to mention the amazing hill-side hike to get there! Great late-winter escape.

Simply the Best

Reviewed By mg788

Spent 8 days here recently, skiing at nearby Shiga Kogen. Simply the best hotel we've stayed at in our many trips to this wonderful country. Not because its facilities are super luxurious - they're not but they are very comfortable - but rather because of the delightful, ever accommodating, ever helpful owners and staff. I recommend this hotel, without reservation.

Good views, at the top of town

Reviewed By normr512

This was suggested to us by our travel agent as the better place to stay in Nozawa. It was OK and comfortable enough. We were sold the room with a private onsen - which was smaller than our bath at home. It is just big enough for one person. However, the larger guest onsen (seperate men and women) and the public onsen in the hotel offer a much better experience. The buffet breakfast is standard fare. The hotel is a short walk from anywhere in town. For anyone with mobility issues Nozawa will present difficulties.

Simple, no frills, very lovely stay

Reviewed By graceyyyyyy

Hotel staff picked us up from the train station, a very convenient service. Free kitchen for use, spotlessly clean with most utensils you would need. Self service laundry also available. There was a nice restaurant cum lounge area for guests to mingle, with games, tv and free coffee!! A Small Onsen was nice and quiet. Rooms were Ryokan style, very clean, very comfortable. Absolutely nothing bad to say about it. Breakfast was a simple set meal as well. Everything was lovely. Hotel Kiyomizu Bozansou was an amazing and memorable stay for me particularly due to a combination of their exceptional staff service (very helpful and friendly people!) coupled with the coziness and spaciousness of the entire place. Very personalised service as well since there weren’t many people around. Would 10000% stay again.
