Yamane
Tucked away in the oldest part of Nozawa Onsen village, Laforet Yamane is a simple, welcoming inn that offers a true taste of traditional Japan. With just 21 guest rooms, it captures the charm and quiet spirit of the village, making it an ideal retreat after a day on the slopes.
The rooms are classic Japanese-style, with tatami mat flooring, calming muted colors, and soft futons that can be folded away during the day to create a sense of spaciousness. Some rooms overlook the peaceful forest, while others offer views of the surrounding neighborhood rooftops, giving you a true sense of place. Toilets and washbasins are shared and located just down the hall, while a large communal bath is available on the basement level. For those seeking a more rustic experience, the beautiful Kumaotearai onsen is just a 30-second walk away, shaded by ancient trees and steeped in local tradition.
Each morning, guests can enjoy a simple but hearty breakfast buffet in the dining room. After a day exploring the village or skiing the nearby slopes, unwind in the lounge with a board game, grab a drink from the vending machine, or catch up on messages using the free Wi-Fi. The property also offers ski storage and courier services, making it an easy and convenient base for your stay.
The location is hard to beat—just a five-minute stroll to Oyu-dori, Nozawa’s charming main street lined with cafes, gift shops, and the iconic Oyu Onsen. The Yu-road escalator, which takes you up to the Hikage home slope, is only nine minutes away on foot, giving you easy access to the mountain each morning.
Laforet Yamane isn’t fancy, but that’s exactly its charm. It’s clean, comfortable, affordable, and run by a friendly, multilingual team who are always happy to help. If you’re looking for a down-to-earth stay with authentic atmosphere and everything you need, this is a great choice for your time in Nozawa Onsen.
