Nozawa Grand Hotel is located on a hill in Nozawa Onsen Village, boasting spacious grounds, stunning views, and abundant Onsen facilities. The expansive 5,000-tsubo property features a panoramic open-air bath with the best view in Nozawa Onsen, a grassy plaza, an outdoor pool, a babbling brook, flower gardens, walking paths leading to Tsutsuji-yama Park, and more.

Located in the famous Onsen town of Nozawa, known for its 13 public baths, this property offers the experience of enjoying two different hot spring sources within its premises.

A century-old building reborn as the boutique Hotel “mont,” standing in the heart of Nozawa Onsen, surrounded by snow-capped mountains and beech forests. Mountain blessings become snow, then water that nourishes the land, and eventually spring forth as Onsen. Forest trees, too, become the festival tower that lights the winter Dosojin Fire Festival, carrying local memories into the future. Inspired by these two opposing yet life-giving energies—“fire” and “water”—we have shaped our spaces, cuisine, and drinks. At our wood-fire restaurant, seasonal local ingredients are grilled to a fragrant finish; in your room, enjoy moments with village craft gin and regional sake. In this place where nature and culture flow in cycles, experience a stay where people and nature gently return to one.

We offer healthy local cuisine made with safe and reliable ingredients, including Koshihikari rice from North Shinshu and local mountain vegetables harvested by us. This property is ideal for relieving daily fatigue with 13 free outdoor hot spring baths.

For a warm, homey Accommodation in Nozawa Onsen that will satisfy both your heart and your appetite, choose “Oyado Fubuki.” The biggest highlight here is the exceptional cuisine you won’t find anywhere else. Enjoy freshly harvested river fish from their own fish farm—clean-tasting and odor-free (Shinshu Salmon, char, carp, and more)—served as sashimi or simply salt-grilled. You can also savor authentic Korean home-style dishes prepared by the Korean-born proprietress, along with generous servings of homegrown rice and vegetables—all truly delicious. Freshly cooked Koshihikari rice from Kijimadaira is so good you won’t be able to stop eating. The location is excellent as well: a 3-minute walk to the popular public Onsen bath “Shinyu,” and a 5-minute walk to the “Yu Road” moving walkway to the ski resort—perfect as a base for Onsen hopping or skiing.
