Very pleasant stay in a rather secluded part of Japan with great views. Management was very helpful and knowledgeable about area and assisted in all our comfort needs. Hope to come back!

An oasis of peace
I stayed here for a few a few days at the end of October. It was a welcome break away from the busy cities during the Rugby World Cup. Stephen and Ted are great hosts who will go the extra mile for their guests, like driving us to a nearby restaurant and offering suggestions for places to see. My room was comfortable and spacious with great views across the lake. I hope to return to Japan one day and look forward to visiting Nojiri again.

We loved the relaxed family atmosphere that Ted and Steve created. They are so friendly and full of great ideas about places to visit and interesting things to do. We were able to borrow bicycles and a rowing boat at no extra charge to explore the lake. Nojiri Lake is one of the prettiest places in Japan and in the Autumn, nice and quiet too.

Beautiful town. Wonderful stay!
Unfortunate for us, we only had one night to spend in Shinano-machi, fortunately however, we found us a great place to stay for that one night! Nojiri Lake Resort is really a gem. Great location as it is right beside the lake. Waking up in the morning with a beautiful view of Nojiri-ko and the surrounding mountains is a dream, especially in winter! More importantly, the hospitality of Ted and Steve are unmatched. They assisted us with everything we needed, right from the moment we arrived by train until we left the next day. We felt very much at home during our stay. WiFi worked well. Their breakfast was filling. Will definitely go back the next chance I get!

Strong recommendation 👍
Perfect location and view, next to lake Nojiri. You can watch sun rise ! Interior is quite bare simple. Location can be problem if you don’t drive but hotel owner offers pick up from nearest train station. Personalised service from the owners. There are convenient store and restaurants nearby. Lots of onsen nearby. Perfect breakfast with good prices. Best part is enjoying breakfast with Great view from the lake.

野尻湖 琵琶島を目の前にした眺望。 無料で体験できるカヤック。 フレンドリーなスタッフ。 非常によかったです！ Tedさんご本人もお話していた通り特にロビーやガラスに老朽化、クモの巣等気になる部分はありましたが客室は問題なし。 スタッフがフレンドリーなのでまた来たいと思わせてくれます。 でもご年配の方や星○リゾートみたいなのが好きな人には合わないと思うのでそこは予めご了承を。

オーナーさんは、楽しい方でした。 エアコンガッツリ効きます。 ワインも置いてあります。 コンビニは、歩いて行ける距離にないですが、レストランが何軒か有りイタリア料理店は美味しかったです。 バス釣りメインの琵琶島前でしてので陸っぱりしたかった。 また、伺います。

ロケーションと朝食は非常に良く、スタッフの対応は丁寧で良かったです。 また、宿泊費用は安く良かったです。 しかしながら、施設の老朽化や窓の汚れやクモの巣等、清掃が行き渡っていないところがあったので、宿泊費用が安いながらも頑張って改善してほしいと思います。

とても親切な湖畔の静かなホテル
9月15日～17日(2泊)、お世話になりました。 野尻湖を一望できる素晴らしい眺めの部屋です。 オナーやスタッフがとても親切です。オナーお奨めのレストランを紹介してくれて、営業の確認までしてくれました。お奨めレストランでの夕食も美味しく大満足。 無料の手漕ぎボートで野尻湖にある琵琶島に行くことができます。湖や島の散策を満喫しました。 朝食のフルーツに出た珍しい『信州生まれのワッサー』、酸味と甘みがほどよく、とても美味しかったです。サラダには地元の野菜も使われているそうです。 また是非行きたいです。 ホテル情報：無料の駐車場、広いロビー、24時間無料の紅茶、自転車、手漕ぎボート 部屋情報：TV、冷蔵庫、ユニットバス、バスタオル、ゲストタオル、ボディーソープ、シャンプー、リンス。(セキュリティボックス、温水便座、ゴミ箱、歯ブラシ、ティッシュはありません)
