Resort Inn Murata

The room was clean, the bathroom and shower were a bit run down but usable. If you plan to ski or eat at Nozawa Onsen it makes it very difficult. The first shuttle from Togario Onsen to Nozawa is at 9:24am and the last one was o round 4pm. No taxi after 6, so you cannot eat dinner in Nozawa staying here. While it is not the hotels responsibility, it made dining options very limited. The front desk staff was unfriendly, apart from the hosts wife who tired her best to arrange accommodation.

Liked the traditional Japanese hotel style, as well as the onset which was very hot and was much needed after a day of skiing. Staff was very accommodating and helpful when needed

Location is beautiful but inconvenient as there are no restaurants close by or convenient stores. There were many different types of smells, all unpleasant, as you walk into reception, the bathroom, the hallway and your room. The pillows were made of wheat and were incredibly small and uncomfortable. The futon beds made you itchy and were quite thin. There are very limited amenities inside the room, only a small sink, a small TV and gas heater. The heating in the room is very good. You need to use the public toilets and the shared, open bathroom. The vending machines inside the accomodation were not turned on. This place is suitable if you wanted to go snowboarding, as the Togari- onsen snow resort is only a 5 minute walk away and didn’t mind where you lay your head. The staff are also very friendly.

オーソドックスな朝食でしたが、ゴボウの小鉢やお味噌汁など美味しかったです。 布団が、もう少し地があるといいなぁ、と。 ちょっと薄くていたかったです。

自販機が全て売り切れ、トイレのホット便座は、電源が抜かれたまま、 残念でした。
