Nestled in the charming village of Nozawa Onsen, Sakurasou Lodge offers a warm, welcoming stay just moments from the Nagasaka Gondola. Combining traditional Japanese touches with Western comfort, this budget-friendly lodge is ideal for ski lovers, families, and travelers looking to soak up local culture. Rooms feature Western-style beds or futons, with shared bathrooms, heating, and access to free Wi-Fi throughout the property. Sakurasou’s location couldn’t be better—just 300 meters from the Nagasaka Gondola and a short walk to Nozawa’s renowned public hot springs and vibrant dining scene.

Sakurasou is undergoing a range of upgrades this summer to improve comfort and functionality for the upcoming winter season.
