    Fantastic place to stay just outside Nozawaonsen. Very nicely presented and quite unique. There is a smaller ski area within walking distance but best to have a car (you can rent one at Liyama station if coming via bullet train from Tokyo) and...

    Very modern, private, great location if skiing at Togari Onsen Ski Resort, well heated, short walk to bus transfers from Togari Ski Resort to Nozawa or Ilyama station.

    非常適合家人或朋友旅行時的住宿,六人以上平分下來性價比極高。房東會提供非常詳細有關周遭環境的說明,有問題也都會立刻回答。如果要去附近的戶狩滑雪的話這間真的算是不二首選。

Host Information

9.5
Host review score
Both accommodations on the property were renovated In February of 2020. The Kura (two bedroom) is a unique place to stay. It was once used as a storehouse. With thick earthen-walls they were considered to be fire proof, thus being the best way to store your valuables or in some cases, food. It has been renovated in such a way that you can still feel it's history, but without sacrificing luxury. The Cabin (one bedroom with bunkbeds) is part of a 200 year old property, and was originally built to be a meeting space for the family (and in more recent years, a karaoke area!). The karaoke is gone, but what remains is a newly renovated space purpose built for a small group who want to enjoy being together on their trip.
Togari Onsen is situated across the valley from the more well known Nozawa Onsen. Just like Nozawa (and nearby Madarao), we get the same snow storms which give the area such wonderful snow! Unlike Nozawa and Madarao, Togari Onsen is a lot less well known , and so there are typically a lot less people on the slopes. Very rarely is the a queue for a lift, which means more time enjoying the snow for you! There are several restaurants, shops and bars in town as well as two natural hot springs (one of which is a few minutes walk from the property!). Togari is more of a traditional Japanese village, and not a full blown resort, so there isn't so much nightlife. If you want a bit of a night out we recommend visiting Nozawa Onsen. This will require a car, and of course, a designated driver (Japan has zero tolerance laws for driving and drinking alcohol, and it is strictly enforced!).
