Vaisala is operated by Nozawa Hospitality, the largest hotel operator in Nozawaonsen. Throughout your stay, you will have access to their concierge services. We aim to offer you a wonderful Japanese experience, at the right price, for your winter holiday. Nozawa Onsen is unique in Japan, and one of the most special places we know anywhere. Our vision is to share this, carefully, with guests who understand our passion. We are humbled to be part of this thriving, strong, active mountain community. We respect its history and admire its sense of carefully directed progress. We are excited to show visitors the integrated blend of mountains, culture, food, water, and cooperation that is Nozawa Onsen’s heritage. We will strive to invest in tourism that contributes to the village’s well-being and becomes an integral part of it. We expect that while the village may change its visitors, the visitors will not change the village.

Vaisala is a two-storey cottage with a traditional Japanese bedroom, a living/dining area and a kitchen that comes with an oven, Nespresso machine and more. The sofa in the living area can be converted into a temporary bed for one. Refurbished in 2020, this once quaint townhouse has been updated for a modern lifestyle with complimentary wifi, integrated shower stall with seat, 2 toilets and laundry facilities. Vaisala is a cozy home - perfect for a small family or small group of friends. It is a short walk to the Karasawa home slope, Nagasaka Gondola link pairlift, No. 2 carpark, Sparena, an onsen, and a local bakery. Note that it is not car-accessible in winter.

Nozawa Onsen is a traditional quaint Japanese village with fantastic snow (up to 12 meters/year!) and plenty of public onsens to enjoy at the end of a long day on the slopes. The locals are really friendly and the town is beautiful. And as an extra bonus, Nozawa was the host of the 1998 Winter Olympics! During the summer, the gondolas open for mountain biking activities.
