The Ridge Apartments Nozawa

We had a terrific stay at the Ridge apartments. Yuta, the front desk manager was so welcoming and friendly. We took advantage of his offer to take us to the local supermarket to stock up on supplies to prepare our own meals. He also gave us great tips for restaurants in town. The apartments are spacious, warm, clean and comfortable. They are well located in the village, just downhill from the Nagasaka Gondola station.

Amazing apartments! Great location, great bathroom, bed, heater works so well, storage for suitcases, kitchen facilities are superb. Could not fault this place! Absolutely loved staying here and will be back. Close to ski gondolas and not far into middle of village- about 10 min walk. Yuta at front desk was extremely helpful everyday and made our trip unforgettable! I will be back to see his little baby again! Too cute!!!!

My hubby and I recently stayed at The Ridge Apartments and highly recommend the place. Shannon and Mia do a fantastic job of running this place. On arrival Shannon gave us a brief run down of the town, places to eat and visit. We stayed in the loft apartment, suitable for 2 people. It is split into 3 levels, entry level for hanging up jackets and storing some luggage, top floor bedroom with en-suite and bottom level, kitchen (full stocked with crockery / cutlery) & small dinning area. The apartment was super clean and modern with housekeeping coming in every day to take rubbish away and top up coffee / tea and change linen every couple of days. Location wise we were a 5-8 minute walk to the main Gondola and cafes at the base and along the way to the slopes. Walk into town was also a short one. Located next door to the SpaArena (communal onsen) which was perfect for going to the onsen together (bathers permitted in here) and then coming home to our nice and cosy warm apartment. Shannon picked us up from the bus station to bring us into our accommodation and Mia dropped us off on the way home. Shannon also drove us into the main shopping centre just out of town (20min drive) to do a shop of any main groceries we needed and to help us with shopping as purchasing Japanese products is not as easy when you cant read Japanese! (very grateful for his help) Laundry downstairs washing machine and dryer to use everyday if needed. Bed is nice and comfortable with nice linen and heating available in all rooms. We will definitely be back next year.
