Dream Central is in a great location. The staff were incredibly helpful and it had the feeling of a nice hostel since our room used the shared washroom. Overall a great experience and we would stay here again

Down the hill from the traffic light, maybe 50m. Easy walk. Very affordable, traditional style accommodation, helpful multi lingual staff. We loved it and will stay again.

Second time using Nozawa Dream central. Location is excellent.

Staff ALWAYS go above and beyond to help. Special shout out to Cora! Extremely helpful!

Staff also understand the nuances to blending the Japanese +/- western resort experience.

Rooms are traditional tatami style, so just be aware after a few days of sending it, our lumbered western bodies may take a hit getting up and down from the mats.

Bathrooms/showers are shared - gets very cold down there.

Coffee and tea station all provided for.

No breakfast during this season's visit. But that's not a deal breaker.

Easy to access accomodation that was really well located for access to the snow (using local free shuttle bus) and easy walking access to great choice of restaurants as well as the public onsens. The accomodation was very Japanese which met our needs really well. Breakfast was delicious and varied.

The pros.
Easily accessible from bus stop.
Traditional style sleeping arrangements and amenities. Which was what we were after.
Morning breakfast which was included was awesome.
Beautiful window view and location.
Perfectly insulated- room had a heater .

Cons.
You hear everything in your rooms. Including conversations and foots steps.
If you boarding or skiing the uphill trek will make you wish for Jesus, is a bit far.

The overall experience was great and in all honestly you are far too tired to hear most things I just happen to be a light sleeper. I would compare to an expensive hostel. With adequate amenities and everything you need but the people make the experience a 10/10.
If you chasing Luxury and comfort this may not be the place your after.

It was a great place to stay. Traditional tatami floors. 10 minute walk to the ski slopes. We didn't use the shuttle bus at all. Easy walk to local restaurants and shopping. Staff were amazing and friendly. Very helpful and accommodating to our needs.

After staying at other traditional Japanese hotels I would rate this one average 3.5. Breakfast was good, the place was clean but some staff were not well informed on ski resort.

Highlight of our 4 week trip in Japan.

The team were incredibly accomodating and helpful with ALL matters and enquiries.
Special mention to Adi, who went above and beyond with everything, it was like staying at your favourite uncle's house. Every question was answered with in depth local knowledge and if he wasn't' sure he would find out for you and get back to you. He also made reservations for restaurants for us.
Recommended all the good onsens for your taste, free vs paying and advised on cultural norms so we didn't anger locals.
Directed us to all the good restaurants and helped with all our gear.
Adi was definitely was the x-factor with Nozawa Dream Central.

Check-in was easy, rooms were Japanese style ryokans. breakfast was excellent, fuel to kick start your day on the slopes! Location is perfect.

We left and felt this poignant desire to head back to Nozawa (unfortunately they were very booked out)
We'll be booking back in next season.

Kind service, convenient location

Nozawa Dream Central is unique in being a traditional Japanese ryokan run by an English language friendly team. I believe they also speak some Spanish!

Service is kind and professional. Location is convenient: ~3min walk from the shuttle bus stop to/from Iiyama Station.

About a 10-15 min walk up to Yu road up to Higaki Gondola for skiing.

Caro and Sonny were also very helpful in returning my forgotten headphones!
