Family-friendly holiday rentals in Minakami, Tone District

The room was clean and easy to spend time with, and the view from the large window was excellent.

It was a wonderful property designed in a very quiet location. I was very satisfied with the clean and wonderful interior, so I would like to stay a little longer next time. I thought the few problems were that the dishwasher and wifi were not available. Overall, it was a highly recommended stay.

It was spacious, clean, and a great place to stay. If I get a chance, I will use it again!

Yoshi's place was beautiful and I loved the amazing onsen the most. The view of the forest was great and I enjoyed cooking while looking out the window. The walk to town is only 15 minutes but there are a few restaurants closer by as well. I was also easily able to work from there. thank you for having me.

We had a very comfortable stay! I would like to use it again.

Great stay and enjoyable time our family spent together. Their heaters were very helpful and onsen bath was great! Walkable distance to Yubatake. Yoshi was a great communicator and cared us responsibly.

Whilst the snow wasn’t what we hoped so late in the season we loved our time in Nozawa. Gab and his lovely family and staff made us so welcome as well as helping with all our questions and recommendations for ski hire and tours and the best of all, sending our excess baggage back to the airport allowing us to continue on our travels without our ski gear! The apartment was spacious and easily coped with 8 of us, perfect for larger groups. The apartment is located a 10 minute walk from main centre of town. We will be back!

There are many hills around, and it freezes in the winter, so it is better to have not only studless tires, but also chains.

This place is great. Not many foreigners go to Kusatsu Onsen in the first place so the staff being friendly is great. The location is remote (about a 20 minute walk from town) and the walk gets old after about a day considering how many hills there are. I knew this when I booked the place, though. Kusatsu is worth it no matter the walk regardless. The only negative thing that I have to say about this place is that it's cold and I think the kerosene heater broke on night 2. Either that or we're just morons. Either way, fixing the room heaters should be a priority. This minor inonvenience was forgiven when the staff took us to the bus station in a snowstorm, saving us a long and brutal walk. Very kind of them.

It was helpful that you handled it quickly and check-in flexibly.

We really had a great time at kaoru’s place. And host are very friendly. If you looking for a place with real japanese vibe, look no further, this is the best palce. We looking forward to go there again soon!

I used it for the first time, but I had a very comfortable stay! They also responded to the urgent response, and they were really kind and kind! Thank you so mych

LOVED THE STAY!! They allow dogs which is great and the rooms are very spacious. I love sleeping on Japanese Futons (Though people who like soft beds might not) It is in a good location for both skiing and night life. Nozawa Village is hard to get around with steep hills and narrow snowy streets but once you are checked into the stay you are set! They have a dry room but it is very small which is quite normal for Nozawa. The service was top notch and they bent over backwards to accomodate our every need. VERY MUCH RECOMMENDED!!!

Recommend renting a car or plan on paying for taxi. The area is amazing right in the heart of nature and farming. However nearest station is 25 min walk and then at least half hour to Nagano or Iiyama. Very close to snow monkeys. Suggest bringing warm clothes for the winter months. Nothing like sitting next to a fire listening to the rain.

They handled me very politely

We had a truly wonderful family stay at this charming villa. Nestled in the peaceful, tree-lined heart of the Old Karuizawa summer residence area, the location was simply perfect—a serene retreat with easy access to all the beauty and charm of Karuizawa. Each morning, we strolled down to Old Karuizawa Main Street for fresh pastries and coffee, soaking in the nostalgic atmosphere. With a car, the villa made an ideal base to explore not only Old and Central Karuizawa, but also nearby gems like North Karuizawa, Miyota, and Komoro. One of the highlights of our trip was a fun spring ski day in Nozawa, just a scenic 2-hour drive away. The host was incredibly kind and responsive, and handled our last-minute guest change with such flexibility that it made our trip completely stress-free. We’re already dreaming of coming back—next time in the lush summer or the colorful autumn season. Highly recommend this villa for anyone looking for a peaceful yet well-connected Karuizawa escape.

The place was great and easy to find. Host is also responsive and welcoming.

Lovely host. Awesome location - walk to everything, home with great energy for our family of 7 with a baby

Our group of 6 adults loved our stay at Birch Cabin. Would certainly recommend having a car, despite proximity to skii slopes, as the walk looked arduous. In our case, with a car, we had a great time with no issues. The place was as great as it looked.

Exceptional Stay and Outstanding Host! I had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful Airbnb, and I cannot recommend it highly enough! From the moment I arrived, it was clear that this place was special. The house is beautifully decorated, clean, and incredibly well-maintained. Every detail has been thought of, making it feel like a home away from home. The space is spacious, cozy, and filled with thoughtful amenities, making it perfect for both relaxation and exploration. The kitchen was fully equipped, the beds were super comfortable, and the outdoor space was a great bonus, offering a peaceful retreat. What truly made this stay exceptional, however, was the host. They went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed, offering excellent recommendations for local spots to visit, and even providing thoughtful touches like fresh flowers and a welcome basket. Communication was seamless, and they were always available to answer any questions without being intrusive.

It was used for one night. It was a very comfortable space and the description was easy to understand. I had a memorable time!There are also Tsuruya supermarkets, hot springs, and tourist attractions nearby!

The ski resort is right in front of you, and there is also a drying room, which is convenient and comfortable, so it will be your second time using it.There was heavy snow this year, but the road to the building was also removed, so I was relieved. Lloyd, the host, was flexible with check-in, checkout, and shopping at the supermarket, which was helpful.The kids love it.

I stayed here to focus on some work on my laptop, and it was perfect — super quiet and private, with almost no one around. There weren’t any supermarkets or convenience stores nearby, which was a bit inconvenient, but it wouldn’t have been a problem if I had a car. Since it’s pretty deep in the mountains, next time I’d like to come with a car or a bike! The Wi-Fi was great too — I got 76Mbps download speed on the Fast speed test, so everything ran really smoothly. I’d definitely come back! 🫶❤️✨

It's a great guest house! The host is very friendly and the hostel is perfect!
