The location was unbeatable. Apartments were well stocked and very clean. Spacious and worked well for our large party.

We had a terrific stay at the Ridge apartments. Yuta, the front desk manager was so welcoming and friendly. We took advantage of his offer to take us to the local supermarket to stock up on supplies to prepare our own meals. He also gave us great tips for restaurants in town. The apartments are spacious, warm, clean and comfortable. They are well located in the village, just downhill from the Nagasaka Gondola station.

A great option for families and groups

Amazing apartments! Great location, great bathroom, bed, heater works so well, storage for suitcases, kitchen facilities are superb. Could not fault this place! Absolutely loved staying here and will be back. Close to ski gondolas and not far into middle of village- about 10 min walk. Yuta at front desk was extremely helpful everyday and made our trip unforgettable! I will be back to see his little baby again! Too cute!!!!

AMAZING

My hubby and I recently stayed at The Ridge Apartments and highly recommend the place.  Shannon and Mia do a fantastic job of running this place.

On arrival Shannon gave us a brief run down of the town, places to eat and visit.

We stayed in the loft apartment, suitable for 2 people.  It is split into 3 levels, entry level for hanging up jackets and storing some luggage, top floor bedroom with en-suite and bottom level, kitchen (full stocked with crockery / cutlery) & small dinning area.

The apartment was super clean and modern with housekeeping coming in every day to take rubbish away and top up coffee / tea and change linen every couple of days.

Location wise we were a 5-8 minute walk to the main Gondola and cafes at the base and along the way to the slopes.  Walk into town was also a short one.

Located next door to the SpaArena (communal onsen) which was perfect for going to the onsen together (bathers permitted in here) and then coming home to our nice and cosy warm apartment.

Shannon picked us up from the bus station to bring us into our accommodation and Mia dropped us off on the way home.

Shannon also drove us into the main shopping centre just out of town (20min drive) to do a shop of any main groceries we needed and to help us with shopping as purchasing Japanese products is not as easy when you cant read Japanese! (very grateful for his help)

Laundry downstairs washing machine and dryer to use everyday if needed.

Bed is nice and comfortable with nice linen and heating available in all rooms.

We will definitely be back next year.

Great Western Apartments in perfect location

Shannon and Mia run a very nice establishment. They were a huge help in getting our transfers organised, were happy to answer any and all questions. You pay good money to stay in your own apartment at Nozawa and they take good care of you. Will recommend to all who decide to head to Nozawa

Thank you to Shannon and his family for a lovely stay at the Ridge Apartments in Nozawa. We stayed in the 3 bedroom apartment which was plenty of room for our family of 5 (kids - 19,17,15). The apartment was clean and provided plenty of basic amenities that we required for a 10 night stay. Shannon was very helpful in booking all restaurants beforehand for us and taking us to the supermarket to get essentials. Location - perfect for when you want to walk into the town for the night which we did all nights bar one. It is not ski in ski out. It is approx a 8 min walk to the gondola. You can leave your skis and boots at the ski hire there which is definitely advisable as I wouldn't want to do the walk with ski boots on and lugging skis. As long as you can do this it is fine. My kids are older though - families with little kids may find it a bit of a trek at times but we were fine. Overall it was a great stay and I would recommend it to anyone who asked. Thanks Shannon. Hope to see you again.

Great apartments in Nozawa

I would like to thank the manager Shannon and his family for their wonderful attention to detail and unwavering hospitality during our 8 night stay at The Ridge in Nozawa. Our family of 5, 2 adults and 3 kids stayed in the 3 bedroom apartment, so much room for all of us and every amenity you could think of to make our stay so comfortable and enjoyable. The location was perfect, a simple 5 min walk to the main gondola via coffee shops, bars and restaurants, ski hire and lift passes were also in the same place.
We loved our time in the truly special and memorable traditional Japanese ski village of Nozawaonsen-Mura.
Another positive was The Ridge was right next door to the community onsen, where my my family would visit every day after a hard session on the slopes - swim wear acceptable!
Highly recommend staying at this boutique apartment, close walking distance to everything and every thought has gone into making it an easy and comfortable stay.
Cheers O’Brien family from Sydney 

Fantastic apartment in perfect location to the slopes 

We have just returned from 7 nights in a 2 bedroom apartment at the Ridge Nozawa where we had a brilliant stay. The property is in the perfect location - just a 5 minute walk to the bottom of the slopes in the morning (we had 3 kids in tow, probably only 2 minutes otherwise!), right next door to the Sparena (outdoor, mixed hot baths - great after a day of skiing), and only a couple of minutes in to town for all the restaurants for dinner. Shannon and his wife Mia are managing the property this summer and are fantastic. Nothing is too much trouble, they had fantastic recommendations for ski hire, restaurants etc, and really made us feel welcome. By Japanese standards the apartments are enormous. Very spacious to come home to at the end of a day of skiing, and are self contained which allowed us to self cater for breakfast and some dinners. Shannon also takes guests into the larger supermarket in town a few days a week should you wish to do more self catering. The apartments also have two large areas for drying ski gear at the end of the day which saves cluttering up the apartment. According to my kids this was the best place we stayed in our time in Japan. Overall I cannot rate this accommodation highly enough and will be recommending it to family and friends.

Amazing stay!

First of all, thank you Liz, Kain and the team for the fantastic service. 
The loft unit is perfect to chill after a long day out on the slopes. The kitchen is fully equipped, there's a fire-grill in the oven to grill fish or meat, a microwave and a Nespresso machine. The room is cozy and comfortable. The balcony offers a view to one of the runs across to Karasawa area. 
It's a pleasant four to five minute walk up the trail, most will be distracted half way up with skiers practicing their ski jump in the distance. Neo Bar is an ideal pit stop for a beer before heading back to the apartment at the end of a day.
Kain offers a supermarket run everyday at five o'clock if you need to stock up on groceries. He drops guests to the Choa bus station to catch the Nozawa Onsen bus to liyama station for trains to Tokyo. Liz will make any reservations for taxi arrangement or restaurant booking without hesitations. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for them. 
Spa Arena is just next door to the apartment. There are many more traditional onsen around in the village that you can explore. 
It was a wonderful ski trip for a week. Looking forward to coming back again soon. 
Thank you very much.

Fantastic ski trip!

We stayed at The Ridge for 2 weeks and loved it. Lovely 2 bedroom apartment - comfortable and quiet. Very easy 2 minute walk in the morning up the road to the trail that leads down to a ticket booth and link lift and then an easy ski to the main gondola. Ski room was great - nice warm, toasty boots and gloves in the morning!

Best part of staying at The Ridge was the wonderful care and attention from Liz and Kain. They looked after us so well. Liz did all our restaurant bookings, helped with making sure our bags were sent ahead of us to Tokyo and answered all our questions. We can't wait to go back again in 2019!
