Really comfortable stay in a basic, clean and friendly location. Added bonus was the basically new ski gear I rented for a good price!

Comfy and cosy place to stay with a quite traditional Japanese flavour. Convenient to Nagasaka Gondala and ski hire places. Staff were very friendly and helpful but the shared bathroom facilities were a bit limited. Breakfast was an additional cost (it was a reasonable price) but ideally should have been included in the room cost.

Thank you for your staying at our guest house.Shared bathrooms will be shared with other people, so there are some restrictions. Although the price is a little high, some rooms have private bathrooms, so if you are concerned about bathroom restrictions, please choose a room with a private bathroom.It is possible to create a room rate that includes breakfast, but in that case we will also receive money from guests who do not need breakfast. We believe that it would be more advantageous for those staying overnight to have the person who needs it pay and order it.In fact, about 40% of our customers don't order breakfast, and there are also customers who eat or don't eat breakfast depending on the day.We understand that ordering every day may be a hassle, but we appreciate your understanding.

Snowboard by day, Onsen by night
Posted 7 Jan 2024 on HotelsWhen we came to Japan we wanted to know what the Japanese lifestyle was like. We wanted to remove our shoes at the door, sleep on futons that we had to pull out, eat at a low table, what it might be like at a Japanese bath house, eat traditional Japanese food. This Inn provided it all. It was also very convenient in terms of renting snowboarding gear, walking to the slopes and walking to the onsens. I can not recommend this inn enough. Don’t let the shared bathrooms scare you because during my stay I didn’t run into a single soul while using the facilities. You can also purchase breakfast there and I highly recommend it. The morning salmon was probably some of the best fish I’ve had. You can also purchase a hot pot dinner with all you can eat salad bar. We did the regional beef and the sauce you make it with is amazing. I always felt welcomed and the inn owner is an awesome guy and one of the nicest people I’ve ever met.

We had a great one night over Christmas at Wafu Pension.
The staff was super friendly and the room was clean and comfortable. It had a stunning early morning view with soft-coloured mountains.
The breakfast was half buffet style, due to allergy I was happy with the option not to take the things I couldn't eat.

Great location, so close to main gondola and a short stroll down the hill to town. Lovely staff and very clean rooms.

Wafu was a lovely little comfortable ryokan. It was shared facilities that were kept extremely clean. It had everything we needed for our stay. The owner and staff were very friendly and very helpful.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place to others.
Note the place was a little noisy at night but generally settled by 10.30.

Great stay
Posted 22 Jan 2020 on HotelsOur family enjoyed our stay in Wafu Pension MIYAZAWA. The staff were excellent and even took us to the bus with all our luggage during s snow storm. It is a great place to stay with close access to the ski lifts and restaurants.
