Naka-wada Vacation Rentals

"Great hotel that is right next to the best base area at zao onsen resort! The junior suite was incredible, I really liked the Japanese styling with full western amenities. It was extremely spacious and having two in room ac units for the living room and bedroom was great. We never ate dinner at the hotel but my sister and I both really enjoyed the breakfast buffet both days we had it. Additionally despite a language barrier I found the service to be excellent. Hotel staff came out of the hotel to carry our bags in, and they were very helpful getting us shuttled to the bus station when we left. My only complaints are price and the indoor onsens. It was very expensive in early February, as nice as the room was, the rest of the facility didn’t quite match the price tag. Additionally the indoor onsen water smelled slightly of chlorine and doesn’t feel like it is sourced from the local sulfur springs. Personally I’d recommend skipping them and just going into town for the public baths unless it’s really late"

"The staff members were friendly and helpful. The hotspring was a bit small. "

"Staffs are friendly beginning to the end of our stay. "

"Had an amazing 5 nights at Tsuruya. A very comfortable room with soft sleep mats, low table and chairs and 2 sitting chairs. We had full board and the meals were exceptional. Very fresh Japanese meals. We loved the outdoor onsen - it was a treat to sit in the hot mineral water while being snowed on. The best part of our stay was the friendly and helpful staff who went out of their way for us - either with hints of where to ski, how to eat meals or general interest in our day. Given we have no Japanese, communication was not difficult. Tsuruya also offers shuttles to the 3 main ski slopes although it is only a 5-10 min walk. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back next year."

"This is a beautiful old facility. Taxi or bus from train station. An uphill walk from bus station or about $50 taxi. We visitors in January. Icy steps! The staff was great to carry luggage up to room! Chucky was so nice and helpful. Ask to see his photos from his hometown!"

"The room is spacious, cosy and welcoming. The inroom onsen was very relaxing and nice and the staff is very friendly and warm. Recommended! "

"Room service included daily and very clean. Smoking rooms do wreak of cigarette smoke, but what could you expect."

"The quietness makes me feel I return to nature again. Besides, the service was so good, people at Bekkan were friendly and supportive. I enjoyed 1 night staying here and definitely want to go back someday."

"Excellent food, customer service, and overall experience."
