This is a really good and worthy place for relaxing suburbs if you are trying to escape from a busy urban area.

We had a great time for 5 days. The place was very clean and modern. The hosts were extremely friendly, helpful and made sure we felt welcome. We visited to go snowboarding, so having a car is a must and also being able to speak Japanese helps. We would like to visit in summer next time! Thankyou

GWに奥只見で春スキーをするため、私、夫、子供(9歳と7歳)の4名で二泊しました。明るくて清潔なお部屋で、滞在中とても快適に過ごすことができました! 近くにはショッピングセンター、レストラン、コインランドリー等があり、とても便利でした。 滞在中はちょうどホストさんの近くに住んでいらっしゃるご家族の方も集まっておられて、夜はご自宅の前での花火にも誘って頂き、とても楽しい時間を過ごさせて頂きました。 子供たちもすごく楽しかった!と話しています。次回は冬のスノボシーズンにまたお伺いしたいです。ありがとうございました!

清潔快適で素晴らしいお部屋でした!近くには24時まで営業しているスーパーやTSUTAYAもあり大変便利です。ご両親に丁寧に迎えて頂き良い旅となりました。出発後近くの坂戸山に登りましたがお父様に634mでスカイツリーと同じ高さということや、駐車場の場所などを丁寧に教えて頂きました。ありがとうございました。

We had a great time staying at the place! It was a very cosy and warm for the snow weather. The home was extremely clean, there was plenty of room and the bathroom / toilet are all very modern. The home was in a great spot, only a 1-2 minute walk from a large home centre, great supermarket / grocery store, daiso, pharmacy and some restaurants.

新潟の花火大会のために宿泊しました。 有名な花火大会ともあって、周辺のホテルなどは高価格でしたがこちらはリーズナブルで凄く助かりました。 アクセスには車は必要だと思いますが、宿泊施設周辺はダイソーや夜遅くまでやっているスーパーもあったので呑んでも歩いて買い足し行けるので凄く便利な場所でした! 部屋入ってみるとタオルやお菓子などのおもてなしまで オーナーさんもとても優しく、気さくな方です(^-^)/ また新潟に観光する機会があれば使わせていただきたいと思います♪

This is a lovely, spacious, and clean apartment attached to the beautiful home that Takayuki's parents live in. The location is very convenient, with a shopping center literally right outside your door and the highway access point nearby. As is clearly noted in the listing, the kitchen isn't functional, but with shops and restaurants so close by, you have the best of both worlds--comfortable accommodation and food and shops at your finger tips. It's a really great deal for the price. And Takayuki is an attentive and very polite host. We highly recommend this place and hope to stay again.

The host is very kind and nice. He explained every equipment in his place in detail and even drive us several times. The house is clean and beautiful. Will visit once again if have chance!

Marus Apartment kann ich sehr empfehlen! Es ist typisch japanisch eingerichtet, man bekommt alle Informationen und Tipps für die Gegend. Die Fahrräder haben wir genutzt, das war herrlich! Wir kommen gerne wieder ☺

とてもいい部屋でした。

我在這區住了 四日三夜, 兩晚是住 Maru 的家, 相片和實物是一樣的, 一房一廳一個露台… 因為到步當天天氣寒冷, Maru 很細心給我們多提供一個暖爐, 我最喜歡那張暖枱, 但行程太急, 沒有多少時間可用到… 在東武鬼怒川線 (小佐越駅) 下車, 大約步行 15 min ~ 20 min 就可到達, 感覺有些遠, 但那邊是住宅區… 非常清靜, 晚上行回去時還可看見很多星星, 因為我是下雪天住宿, 當地上雪路變成冰路時大家要小心… 因為非常地滑… 小佐越駅一出站就有間深夜才關門連鎖餐廳, 行多幾步有間中午食烏冬… 晚上是居酒屋。 那麼晚回去都不怕肚餓, 但我沒有發現便利店! 我是用 NIKKO ALL AREA PASS 所四日不停穿梭日光和鬼怒川。

Very very responsive host, comfortable, clean and warm home (especially in the winter!), perfect for our short stay in Nikko! Thank you very much!

清潔感に溢れ、洗練されたデザインの素晴らしいお部屋でした。 鬼怒川温泉も東武ワールドスクエアもすぐの最高の立地。いっさいの文句なしに、心からお勧めさせて頂けるお部屋です。

This room met our requirement. Maru also responsed us quickly.

ที่พักสะอาด เงียบสงบ ห้องอาบน้ำแยกกับห้องส้วม เข้าที่พักง่าย มีที่จอดรถ

Marus place was very nice and the description is accurate. It's in an old building but the apartment is renovated and was in good condition. Marus apartment is big and offers very good value for money. It's also very close to Tobu World Square, if you plan to go there. However, if you plan to stay here after or before exploring the temples of Nikko, it's worth noting that the train connections are quite few and far between in the early mornings and evenings.

Masaki is the best japanese host I ever met, highly recommend if you go traveling Niigata city!

駅からも近く大変便利な場所です。 新潟に行く際はまた利用したいです!

Great host that will help you a lot with places to visit!

Very comfy little apartment just 2km from the ferry port to go to Sado island! The interior decor is cute and friendly, and the bed is really big! My host was also kind enough to recommend some places to eat and tour. Would definitely stay again!

Masaki's apartment is conveniently located and can be accessed by a 10 minutes walk from Niigata station. Checking in was absolutely problem-free thanks to Masaki's detailed instructions. The room is very bright and nicely decorated which makes you feel like home from the first moment. It's also very clean and comes equipped with some daily necessities like shampoo and towels. Communication with Masaki was not only fast and reliable but also really helpful (e.g. if you need help to find a restaurant nearby) and enjoyable. I can really recommend this Airbnb!

宿泊前の連絡にも気配りがあり、安心して利用できました!暖かいメッセージに感動して素敵な新潟旅行になりました。ありがとうございます

立地が良いです。部屋も綺麗でタオルも置いてあり不自由しません。

Masaki provides my family not only a warming place but also fully tour suggestion in Niigata; she's definitely a good choice for you too.

Nozawa house is awesome. We went in the summer, and was just what we needed after busy sightseeing and travelling in Kyoto and Tokyo. Mark was super fast and super helpful through the whole process, stellar communication. The house is clean, has a great feel, and a beautiful view. It's a short walk to town with restaurants and shops. If you want a beautiful clean space to get some RnR... this is it!

We had a group of 7 friends. Nozawa House was great for us. Nice living room to spend time. Short walk to the nearest ski lift and restaurants.

Our stay at Nozawa house was great and Mark was very helpful. Perfect way to beat the rush in Tokyo and spend some time exploring the Japan mountain side and plenty of Onsens to enjoy. Hope to visit again in the snow season.

Our stay in a Nosawaonsen house was great. Mark was very easy to get in touch with and the house was perfect for our family of five. It had all the amenities needed in a beautiful setting.

Couldn't have asked for a better location in Nozawaonsen or better lodgings - the house is really comfortable with lots of space (family of 5) and everything we could have needed. Mark, Luke and Gab were fantastic with tonnes of advice & info and quick replies before and during our stay. We loved the setting (freestanding house surrounded by trees by a babbling creek) too, and there are so many things to see and do in the area - we really enjoyed the summer kids' park, snow monkey day trip, tried the zipline and summer skiing, mountain bike trails etc etc. Can't wait to come back again in winter! Highly recommend Nozawa House and the team from Nozawa Holidays.

Great location, great communication, great entertainment equipment, information, and recommendations, great kitchen supplies and recycling set up, great bathrooms and great bedding! EVERYTHING we needed was provided. The place was perfect for us four adults. Thank you Mark and Luke!

8月1ヶ月滞在しました。 ほとんどの期間を滞在した貸し別荘は 周りを緑に囲まれ、リビングからは 大きな空と遠くの山々を見ることができる 絶好のロケーションでした。 部屋には生活に必要なものは全て揃っていて 何かあるとすぐにスタッフの方が対応してくださいます。 お盆の期間に先客があったため、マークさんが 所有する他のアパートに移ったのですが 温泉施設のスパリーナやスーパーなどが 近く生活しやすかったです。

Nozawa house is a beautiful chalet on the high point of the town. In my view the prettiest location. Central few minutes walk to restaurants and one minute walk to a public onsen. Three storey chalet was way too big for our family, would comfortably fit 2-3 families if needed. Clean with spectacular views through the valley and next to a stream. A special relaxing space! Amazing communication and information from Mark and staff also. Thanks for a great experience! We plan to return one day to experience this beautiful traditional town in winter.

Great authentic stay! Wonderful house, the beds were comfortable and there were spacious rooms to accomodate our group of 12 people. To facilitate communication, make sure to bring internet if you don't speak Japanese. Toshiharu-san showed us beautiful places nearby and cooked very delicious food (we compensated for the expenses). Many instruments to play in the house. We would definitely recommend it for a unique experience in Japan.

夏の平日に一人で1泊お邪魔しました。 とても良いところでした。1泊では足りなかった…。 皆さんのおっしゃっているとおり、オーナーの前田さんの人柄も素敵でしたし、星空もとても綺麗で、空気も冷たくて気持ちの良い場所でした。 何度でも訪れたい場所になりました。 宿の写真を見て、「おっ」と感じた直感を信じてよかったです。 建物はまさに「秘密基地」といった感じ。 スタジオ機材はレトロ感が漂っていて、ワクワクがとまりませんでした。スタジオはまだまだ作業中のようで、完成が楽しみです。 井戸もさいきん湧いたみたいで今後水周りが整備されていくみたいですね。自分で基地を作っていく前田さんのお話がとても面白かったです。 翌朝は周辺を案内していただいて、とても良くしていただきました。 次回行く時はお土産もっていきたいと思います。 またどうぞよろしくお願いいたします。 本当に素敵な旅になりました。ありがとうございました。

とても、楽しい秘密基地みたいなHOUSEでした~!!

最高な旅のしめくくりになりました。お金で買えない価値があるってこういうことだと思います。 20年の施工期間を経て出来た手作りのハウスは広くて快適でした。木が呼吸をして、室内の気温や湿度を快適な状態にしてくれているようです。 オーナーの前田さんをはじめ、泊まりに来る方達が皆明るく親切で、オーナーの人柄の良さが出ていました。 近くには温泉あり、川あり、目の前にある廃校になった学校で、様々なアクティビティをすることも可能だとか。 宿泊客兼もはやスタッフのkさんには、山形の山並みを一望できる場所や川にも案内していただいた上に、ギターレッスンまでして頂きました。 そして何よりオーナー手作りの美味しいご飯の数々は言葉に表しようがありません! また、もともとこちらは音楽スタジオを併設していることもあり、どこからともなく素敵な音色が… 木でできたカウンターで食べるご飯はまた格別です。一見すると本当にカフェかと錯覚するくらい素敵な空間です。これが個人のお家だとは…。 まだこれから色々と併設するそうで、進化途中なようですが、今後も楽しみですね。 マイナス点としては、駅から遠く、来るまで本当にあるのか不安になるような閑静な場所にあります。でもそこがいい!なので結局プラスですね笑 本当に素敵な時間をありがとうございました。

最高の時間を過ごすことが出来ました!!! ^^ 静まり返った荘厳な森の中、ゆっくりとした時の流れ、温もりを感じる建物、そしてオーナーの人柄溢れるおもてなし。どれをとっても、ひとつひとつがかけがえのない思い出です。 美味しい手料理、弾む宿泊者との会話、日々の雑踏から抜け出して心穏やかな時を過ごせます。あなたの大切な人とぜひ足を運んでみて下さい。♪ 特に感動したのは、宿泊翌朝に地元の人が知る観光スポット(山々を一望できる展望台、澄み切った川、ブナ林散策)に連れて行っていただけたことです。「またこの場所に戻ってきたい」と思える素晴らしい空間です。大変お世話になりました。 ありがとうございました。

小国駅から山の上へ約30分ほど。 自然に囲まれた素敵なログハウスでした。 近くの展望台から見える景色や星空が本当に綺麗で、虫の鳴き声や川の音が響いていました。 オーナーのトシハルさんはとても気さくな方で歓迎してくださる気持ちが伝わってくる方でした。 たくさんの友達を連れて行くのも、家族を連れて行くのも、一人で行くのもとても充実した時間になることでしょう。!

This guy is amazing , the best I ever meet. Will recommend and beautiful place . Fall in loved in this area.

家族でお伺いしたのですが、とても親切にしていただきました。バーベキューも到着したときには準備いただき、食後は満天の星空を眺められるスポットにお連れいただきました。 是非またお伺いしたいです。

Bin um ca. 12:30 angekommen (also viel zu früh) konnte dennoch einchecken. Lage ist super, Bahnhof ist auf der anderen Straßenseite und 3 min vom Haus weg ist ein Supermarkt (Kein LAWSON etc.) wo man super gut Mahlzeiten kaufen kann für kleines Geld (nach 18 Uhr werden alle frischen Mahlzeiten Reduziert)

this place is so easy to find and really great location. I had such a great time staying in here. The place was very big... Very clean too.

Good place for backpackers

It is very close to the station,almost right in front of it so you and easily to catch the bus to do sightseeing! And the dorm is very clean and bed is comfortable.

Perfect place no need to go somewhere else. It's to close to everything ! Maybe a 2nd shower and true kitchen would be great Highly recommended

NPL is nearby the bus stop. I met a lot of people who came from all over the world and this is my most precious experience in my trip.

合租公寓在东武日光站对面,交通非常便利。房间很宽敞,有沙发三件套。晚上可以坐在一起聊天交流。附近有一家渔民的居酒屋,适合晚上聚餐前往。你还可以白天把行李箱存放在酒店,方便自己去周围观光。

Pros: Two blocks from the train station, right near town, within walking distance of restaurants and shrines, across the street from major bus stop, fast reliable Internet. Cons: not very clean, very creaky bunk beds made it hard to sleep, a little bit old and run down, unsecured, OK communication.

距离车站几分钟的路程!房东人超级好,全程热心服务!真的非常感谢!

Great location. Grocery store is in front of house.

ノープラン旅行で初めての新潟県にお邪魔しました。もちろん十日町市も初めてでしたが、ホストさんが丁寧に対応して下さり、不安になることもありませんでした。 同伴したわんこの面倒を見て下さったり、地元の方ならではのお店や観光の情報を教えて下さったり、とても助かりました!歩いて数分の場所に駅前の繁華街がありますし、観光スポットも近い。そしてすぐ近くにスーパーもあり、色々便利でした^^

Tokamachi was an intermediate stop along our tour of Japan. As advertised, the location of the building is super close by to the Tokamachi train station. The house is a renovated building that was designed in an interesting mixture of modern Western and old Japanese styles. The host was very helpful and kind. Warmly recommended location!

We had such a wonderful time staying here! We visited for the Tokamachi snow festival in February--what an amazing time! The snow sculptures were amazing, and the town itself was really cute. The location is awesome--right across the street from a grocery store and very close to many restaurants and businesses. The room we stayed in was large and had very comfortable futons. We liked them so much that we are now hoping to get some for our house. Our accommodations were very cozy, and we are especially grateful that we could bring our dogs along with us. Overall, we had an amazing time in Tokamachi. We loved our host and hostess, who made us feel right at home all along. When we left, we felt like we were leaving friends. I would definitely recommend staying here to anyone looking for an awesome trip in Japan's snow country!

駅より徒歩5分以内、中心地にあるおスーパーの目の前、近くには美術館や温泉もあり素晴らしい立地です。 お部屋もとても広く、ゆっくり過ごす事ができました。 ホストの方も遅い時間のチェックインなど柔軟に対応してくださり、とても助かりました。 また是非利用させていただきたいです!ありがとうございました。

この度はありがとうございました。 お部屋も広く、お風呂やトイレも清潔感があり、リラックスして過ごせました。 ホストの方もとても親切で、急な予約にも関わらず、迅速に対応してくださいました。 おススメの観光スポットなども教えていただき、とても良い旅となりました。 また機会があれば、利用させていただきたいです。

フジロック期間中の宿として、利用させていただきました。直前に参加を決めたため、フジロック会場まで、車で1時間ほどかかりましたが、この宿のある十日町も、近くに安くて最高な温泉があったり、美術館があったり、スーパーが東京に比べるとすごく安くて美味しいものが揃ってて、宿泊するのによい環境でした。また、フジロック期間中ということで、山崎さんに、深夜帰宅の件など、いろいろご無理を言ってしまいましたが、優しく対応していただきました。ありがとうございました。

駅の万代口からすぐ。とても便利な立地です。

Imagine a capsule hotel made out if wood with books scattered everywhere. The place has a very new age feel to it and has all of the basic amenities you might wish for. The room might get a bit warm since there is no fan but even in summer I was not overly hot

Very clean and nice. The place had alot of privacy but was social as well. Everything was beautifully designed and well thought out. The social areas were beautiful and location was great.

Very nice stay! Convenient location, very friendly personnel and nice design of the place. I highly recommend a stay there.

My stay in Book Inn was quite extraordinary. Just like pics show, The design of Book Inn is really creative, and it does provide a private and personal space for each other. I really enjoyed hanging out with new friends and drink a little bit beer in lobby chatting or reading books. This experience reminded me of my collage life. Advantages: 1. Walk distance to Niigata Station(新潟駅). 2. Many sake houses, restaurants, and convenience stores around. 3. Clean, and well-equipped. 4. Tons of books there. Tips: 1. This hotel is pretty much like a capsule hotel. It might not guaranteed you one hundred percent quiet or private, but Book Inn provides you a set of earplugs, it might help. 2. This hotel doesn't provide you complimentary shampoo, body wash, toothbrush and toothpaste. You might bring your own, or buy them at front desk.

コインランドリーが歩いて15分くらいのところなので、それを踏まえてスケジュールを立てるといいかと思います。

I was travelling solo and looking for something more than just a stay over near the Niigata station. Then Book Inn took me in. So kindly. Really love all the people I met during my stay, especially the very hospitable hosts. Staying at this shared place feels more like living. We shared not only the space, also the great time chatting and hanging together. In the hostel and the local Izakaya. Beautiful experience! Thank you Aoi and Greg, for making this local community in Niigata so kind and special to the travellers. I'd definitely love to come back again :)

It's a nice little, clean place. Location is great (2 min walk from Niigata Station) and it's cool to be surrounded by books. I went during a weekday and there was almost no one else there, so it was very quiet. Can get a bit warm sleeping in the bookshelf, but if you keep the curtain open you can get the AC from the main room to come in. Shower supplies are not provided, so you can "rent" them from the front or buy them yourself. There wasn't a lot of space to socialize (the "kitchen" microwave area is right next to people's beds, so not ideal), though it's hard to comment on the social atmosphere since I didn't run into any of the other guests.

特になし

駅からも近く、コスパもいいのですごく良かったです。

Akihito, was really helpful beforehand with me, answering all my questions. Once there, they drove me to monkey-park, and they suggested me nice restaurants and places to visit. The atmosphere in the hostel is really nice, chill out but active at the same time. I do really recommend it and will come back!

Modern amenities and style in a traditional ryokan. We traveled in a group and had a nice stay in the dorms.

Clean, friendly staff, amazing lounge! Would visit again and definitely recommend.

ZEN是一家兼具經濟實惠、設計風格以及乾淨舒適的Hostel,一樓大廳的咖啡館/酒吧也提供不錯的餐飲,最重要的是所有工作人員都非常友善、熱情,也會提供你許多玩樂、交通的資訊。在湯田中這裏大部份都是要價不斐的高級旅館,ZEN反而是另一種平價、互動性高且留下回憶的選擇。誠摯推薦!

Good place, friendly hosts! We would like to come again if possible !

We really enjoyed staying at the Zen Hostel. We had a family room which was spacious & warm. We loved that the Zen Hostel is a mix of modern decor & traditional Japanese. The pond with snow on it was stunning. We met some friendly people from several countries. It has a big traditional lounge room with a smart tv which you can bring your own food to eat or watch movies or youtube. It has a very cosy fire, bar & restaurant area which we had a very yummy breakfast & also dinner which was really great. Nothing is too much trouble, Akihito drove us up to see the Snow Monkeys in the snow and it was just magical and an unforgettable experience. we were very happy to stay at Zen Hostel, it felt like a home away from home and we were and well looked after, much appreciated, we hope to come back one day & thank you for your hospitality and help.

Great place well equipped with good wifi and lots of restaurants close by.

位置可达性良好,距离市中心和商区都不远

新潟駅から徒歩圏で、静かな場所でした。コンビニも駐車場も近く、利便性の高い宿です。

Kiyo's apartment in Niigata was great. It suited the 3 of us travelling perfectly with a single and a double bed, good internet, kitchen, shower and bathroom with amenities included. Although it wasn't a massive space it was more than enough for us. It is situated perfectly close to both the stations, the fish markets, sake factory and all the major sights of Niigata. Also around the corner is a 200 yen curry place which is a dream. Kiyo was more than willing to help us with anything and quickly responded to any queries. Would absolutely recommend this place to anyone travelling to Niigata

Kiyo's apartment is extremely accessible from the JR Niigata Station/Bus Station, and just a short walk will take you to the closest city malls, as well as restaurants! We felt very comfortable and Kiyo does a fantastic job reaching out to our needs and checking up on us! Definitely looking forward to visiting Niigata again!!

Centrally located and just a short drive to the ferry port which was important for our trip. There are a few restaurants around but we ended up taking a taxi because they were small and full. The place itself was small, but comfortably equipped. We didn't have any problems and the self check-in and check-out was very convenient. Good value for the location!

The apartment is located up a nice quiet street with a pretty easy walk to the Niigata station and Benten Street for lots of restaurants and shopping. The green metal staircase made it easy to find, if you have large bags they could give you a little trouble. We loved being able to catch the train to surrounding areas and explore the large Book Off.

駅からも近く、部屋もとても綺麗でした。 連絡もこまめにとっていただき安心して過ごすことができました。 また利用させていただきます。

Two minutes away from Niigata station, with cool and friendly staff, a very interesting concept and comfortable beds and shower. I know where I'm going next time I'm in Niigata.

駅に近くてとっても便利!飲み歩きにもいいですよ。 寝室は二段ベッドをイメージいただけるとよいかと思います(本棚が壁になってます)。頭をゴツン!しないように気をつけてください~(私は数回やってしまいましたw) スタッフの方も親切でくつろげました♪

Aoi and Greg are some of the loveliest people i have met during my time abroad. Book Inn, is such a comfortable and cosy environment with very new and clean facilities. Very convenient to get to via Niigata station (perfect if you have JR). Niigata is Japan's best kept secret city for tourism, some of the best sake and sashimi ive ever had came from here. Aoi and Greg gave me brilliant suggestions of things to see and places to go during my stay in Niigata. Dont forget to go to Sakura bar and the brilliant sake tour at Imayo Tsukasa sake brewery! So amazing. Thank you so much! Cant recommend enough!

他の方のレビューの通り、設備、清掃、本棚!?イメージ通りでした。ただ私の部屋は、コンパネ1枚隣の部屋から中国語が11時すぎまで聞こえてきました。電話のマナーをチェックインの説明に加えても良いと思います。当たり前ですが、夜の静かさを重視する方は普通の個室のホテルをおすすめします。共用部での知らない人との会話を楽しめる方にはおすすめします。私は平日だったので私と受付の方と他に1人いるぐらいでしたが、週末はわいわいする事があるようです。また新潟で泊まる事があれば、週末に伺いたいです。

新しくとても綺麗でした。

BOOK-IN was super clean, easy to find and the staff were super friendly and helpful! they even suggested some local events to check out when I got there. The place is pretty new and was nice and quiet. Being able to lounge around all afternoon and read Slam-Dunk manga and other books was really awesome! one thing worth noting, is they provide rental towels and soap/shampoo for a small fee. So, it might be worth bringing stuff with you if you don't want to rent them. Improvement-wise, The only thing that I would suggest is airflow in the bunk areas. Because its summertime, it got pretty warm in there. Especially if you close the curtain. So, maybe some mini-fans or a way to duct the A/C air into the bunks would be great! :)

泊まるもよし、本を読むため楽しむもよし、とても楽しい滞在になりました。キッチンはありませんが、電子レンジはあるので、買ってたものを温めたりはできます。アメニティーはドライヤーありました。 近くにはコンビニも居酒屋とかもあるので、困りません!駅からもすぐなのですごい便利です。

Located on the 4th floor of a building , it is very calm and surprisingly since its really close to the main station and lively district. This hotel is charming with it atmosphere and nice employees. I had a great time!!
