Set at the gateway to Nozawa Onsen Village, this three-storey wooden home offers an excellent base for enjoying one of Japan’s best-loved hot spring and ski towns. With the village close at hand, it’s easy to dip into Nozawa’s onsen culture, dining scene, and year-round mountain lifestyle, while still having a little breathing space around the house.

Built in 1997, the property sits on a combined plot that includes both residential land and a small area of farmland. Water and sewage connections are already in place, making it a practical option for buyers looking for a straightforward foothold in Nozawa. Whether you’re planning a personal retreat, a family holiday base, or a longer-stay lifestyle change, the location at the village entrance is a strong, simple advantage.
