Kadowakikan

Kadowakikan is a small family-run minshuku (民宿) in Nozawa Onsen village, the kind of place that often hosts school groups on nature-study trips. The building is a bit older but reviewers describe it as spotlessly kept, and several mention the host treating guests like family over generous home-style meals. Rooms are simple and don't have their own bath or toilet; everyone shares a communal bath on the basement floor.
