Ryokan Sakaya

Taka-no-yu is Sakaya’s men’s communal bath, and Tsuki-no-yu is the women’s bath. Choose this inn for time with the bathhouse architecture and bathing, rather than planning every hour around skiing.

The village inn uses a spring that rises in its garden. Leave time for a walk after bathing; if your plan includes dinner, arrange the evening around the meal.

Base

Nozawa Onsen village

Slope access

Choose Hikage or Nagasaka first, then ask the inn about snowy streets with equipment.

Rooms

Compare Japanese-style and Japanese-Western bedding and capacity. Check bathroom facilities for the exact room.

Baths & facilities

Communal and open-air baths plus a reservable private indoor bath; not a private onsen in every room.

Transport

The inn estimates 25 minutes by bus from Iiyama and a three-minute walk from the terminus. Check winter trips and snow separately.

Tsukimi-no-tani is the open-air bathing area beside the communal baths. Matsu-no-yu is a private indoor bath that requires a reservation. These are facilities within the inn, not a promise of a private onsen in every room. Ask about charges and available private-bath slots.

Kame-no-yu, shown on the official bathing page, is an outdoor spa at the separate Sakaya Hanare Jonnobi property. Swimwear or bathing garments are required. Inclusion with a main-building stay and access for day visitors are unverified here; ask who may use it before planning a visit.

Compare Japanese-style and Japanese-Western room photographs, bedding and guest capacity. Photographs of the communal baths do not show your room’s bathroom; check the exact room description when booking.

The inn lists about 25 minutes by Liner bus from Iiyama Station, then a three-minute walk from the terminus. Check winter trips, last departures and snowy walking conditions separately. Tell the inn your lesson or rental shop’s location when planning the route to Hikage or Nagasaka.

• Check dinner, breakfast and arrival time for the specific plan.
