Enjoy the freshly sourced Onsen at a 17-generation traditional Property in Nozawa Onsen.
Nozawa Onsen, cherished for centuries as a "beauty-enhancing hot spring." At the heart of this charming onsen town stands "Ryokan Sakaya," a historic accommodation with 17 generations of tradition. Enjoy the natural, 100% pure hot spring water directly from its source, offering the rich aroma and smooth texture that define authentic onsen. The large communal bath, crafted by master carpenters in traditional bathhouse style, provides an unparalleled sense of warmth and relaxation for an exceptional healing experience.
After 25 years of visiting Nozawa Onsen just for skiing without staying overnight, this was my first stay. The Onsen was incredibly relaxing, and since it’s available all night, I went in from around 5 a.m.! Every dish was delicious; being in season, we had bamboo shoot rice. The attendant’s hospitality was wonderful, and we had a great conversation about visiting Togakushi Okusha the next day. Breakfast the following morning was also very enjoyable.I’m grateful to have stayed at such a lovely Accommodation and to all the staff. I’d love to stay again!
ゲスト 4/24/2026The Onsen was absolutely wonderful, and we thoroughly enjoyed the delicious meals featuring mountain vegetables, fresh produce, and river fish that let us truly experience the nature of northern Nagano. The staff were attentive without being overbearing, which made our stay very comfortable. We were also happy that the tap water tasted great to drink. The only minor issue was that the shower in the Room bathroom had low water pressure and wasn’t very usable, so we rated the Facility 4 points. Overall, we felt this is an Accommodation we would definitely like to visit again.
