こぐまの家
Family-run log-cabin inn at the foot of Nozawa's ski slopes
Heated tap water, not a natural hot spring
The inn's own bath is not hot-spring water. Free access to a nearby onsen public bath (Nakao-no-yu) is offered separately, but that is a different place.
Enclosed indoor bathing area
A private bath you can reserve for yourself or your group
A December 2025 review counted two 24-hour family baths (家族風呂).
Shared bathing area for all genders
Baths are locked for exclusive private use per party; no mixed bathing is offered or mentioned anywhere.
On-site or nearby parking available
A paid lot beside the inn (1,500 yen for the first night, 500 yen per additional night), not free on-site parking. No reservation needed.
This small family-run inn near Nozawa Onsen's ski slopes has its own bath, though the water isn't from the hot spring: two locked bathrooms are free for guests to use any time, day or night. For an actual onsen soak, Nakao-no-yu (中尾の湯), one of the town's free public bathhouses, is an easy walk away. The building is log cabin style, post-and-beam construction with heavy timber throughout, sitting right at the base of the slope with the chairlift visible from the rooms. The family that runs it cooks home-style Hokushin countryside food, with vegetables from their own garden, wild greens foraged from the hill behind, and local Koshihikari rice.
