As you enter through the door, you are greeted by the single bedroom at Residence Yasushi Junior Family Suite that is suited for a single guest. It has a separate toilet, washing area and shower, comfortable bedding and even a TV.

The master bedroom or junior suite is well indoors adjoined to the common living area for both bedrooms. The bedroom suite features shoji screens on large windows offering plentiful views. The twin or king-sized bed is perfect for two and you have an ensuite with toiletries, bathtub, shower and other luxurious amenities.

When in Nozawa, you are surrounded by mountains and the winter sun which is perfect for leisurely walks along the village streets. Residence Yasushi offers private onsen for men and women that are soothing and calming, especially after a long day of travelling or skiing adventures. You can change in the changing area and take a shower before climbing inside the onsen and enjoying the hot water as it relaxes your sore muscles and cleanses your body.

Residence Yasushi Junior Family Suite is a self-contained unit with the absence of a fully-equipped kitchen but fitted with tea/coffee and a TV lounge. The living area is adjoined to the junior suite separated by sliding shoji doors or paper screen doors that are authentically Japanese. The room is well-lit owing to the windows that overlook the mountainous views of Nozawa. There is a comfortable daybed and a couple of armchairs for sitting, a widescreen TV on the wall and a study desk where you can catch up on some work or leave thank-you notes for the staff.

There is a common reading room/games room in the lobby for all the guests of Residence Yasushi which is designed for optimum comfort and warmth. While the fire is crackling in the fireplace, you can cosy up on the couch with a good book and some TV. Spend time with loved ones or make new friends among fellow guests. The dining area is good and running with the professional chef preparing mouth-watering breakfast each morning giving you a choice between a western or traditional options.

From natural hot springs and ski slopes to traditional Japanese restaurants, Nozawa has so much to offer in a compact place. There are a lot of activities to be enjoyed and you can take organised tours around the village to Obuse (a traditional Japanese town) or even Zenko-ji Temple. Restaurants and bars are plenty in the area so you can always find something to relish.
