Tanuki Luxury Apartments

We had a fabulous time at Yumi's. The location couldn't have been better – just a few hundred meters from the base of the ski area, and directly across the street from our favorite public onsen. To gripe, some minor things could have used maintenance, but the value of the place really is superb - spacious (bigger than the photos let on), ideal location, and very reasonable for the area. Would recommend, as well as stay here again!

Fantastic location and warm, welcoming hosts make this apartment a fantastic place to crash. Thank you Brad and Yumi!

Perfect apartment for a week in Nozawa Onsen. The unit is right in the middle of the village, close to many restaurants and nightlife. There is a Thai restaurant downstairs that does both breakfast and dinner. Yumi was also helpful in securing bookings with local restaurants (a must in Nozawa). The unit is a five minute walk uphill to the moving walkway that takes you to the Hikage gondola. There is a drying room in the back available for equipment. Plus, two onsens right out the front door and many more a short walk away. The unit itself is clean with two rooms with western style beds (4 person bunk room, 2 person twin room) and another room that is tatami style. Parking for o e car was cleared for us, but beware that driving in Nozawa is treacherous. The roads are winding and very tight. Additionally, there are many drainage ditches that would love to eat a cars tire. Overall, had a wonderful time. Yumi is a consummate host and we cannot wait to return.

It was a great stay at Tanuki. The place is located very center and convenient, and the apartment was very clean and big enough to chill-out for 5 of us. We all enjoyed staying there. The restaurants around there are busy on weekends and I would recommend to make reservation for dinner in advance.

We stayed 3 nights at Tanuki house, it was a great stay. The place is more a hotel than a house stay, but Yumi and Brad were really flexible and always replied positively to our requests. The appartment we stayed in was clean and big enough to accodomate 8 people, well located as right down the escalator that brings you on the slopes. There is also an onsen right in front of the place. All in one, it was a really satisfying stay, and for sure we will go back there next time we go to Nozawa.

Amazing place to stay! Would highly recommend! Great for a group of 8 of us, very clean, spacious and had all our needs. Super close to everything, including the escalators to the ski resort which made life very easy. Right near the famous Onsen too! Yumi and Brad on reception where fantastic in helping us organise ski lessons and hire gear and just helping with small things too. We all enjoyed our stay and will hopefully be back in the future!

Yumi's place at Nozawa Onsen was amazing! It's a big apartment that easily accommodated our family of 5. It's well equipped with everything you could want or need. It's also authentically Japanese which we loved. It does have "real" beds though!! There is a separate drying room at the back of the building for all the snow gear when you get off the mountain which was awesome. It's only a short walk (300m) to the magic carpet that takes you to the gondola. It was so easy. You are surrounded by amazing restaurants and hot spas! Yumi and Brad are amazing hosts who helped us with EVERYTHING! They can make restaurant reservations, help organize babysitting and are local experts on Nozawa and the mountain. We had the best time and (reluctantly, as we really don't want anyone else to know about it) wouldn't hesitate to recommend the accommodation! Thanks for having us!!
