Vacation rentals with breakfast in Minamiuonuma

A unique and amazing experience for cat lovers that you'll never forget! I went all the way to Nagano, caught an infrequent bus for an hour and walked up a hill in the snow to get to this cat cafe - and it was absolutely worth it. You're staying overnight in a cat cafe during its closing hours, with approximately 10 rescue cats. They're not in the house with you but you can readily access their catio for a pat whenever you like. All the cats were happy and healthy. You have a whole wing of the cafe to yourself, including a living area with kitchenette and bedroom. The bathroom and toilet is next to the cats on the other side of the cafe which was not a problem at all. The beds were comfy, the kitchen was well-stocked and the house was nice and warm from all the heaters. My cat-themed breakfast in the morning was so cute and I was grateful to be given cat treats to make friends with cats. The owner is a wonderful person for giving these street cats a warm forever home. Thank you!!

This is a special place in a beautiful setting off the main route. We loved the cozy cabin with a lovely porch. We also loved the neighborhood, very quiet and peaceful. I hope to stay here again someday and highly recommend it to others looking for a relaxing place to stay.

love this place as it's right on the slope for skiing. lovely family run hotel with a lot of friendly guests who had long term relationship with the host. you can tell that the host are really nice and organized events such as mochi making and tasting while I was there. highly recommend for ski in ski out experience and nice combination with cultural experience as well. oh, not to forget, the dinner prepared were really delicious!

The lodge is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and a serene atmosphere. The rooms are not only spacious but also incredibly comfortable and tastefully decorated. The hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful, always available to answer our questions and provide recommendations for local attractions. The breakfast was not only delicious but also varied and plentiful. We especially enjoyed the fresh, locally sourced ingredients and the homemade sourdough bread. Thank you for everything.

Beautiful stay. Yusan and his partner are excellent hosts. Room was comfy. Had the shared onsen to myself every afternoon. 10 minute walk to Kanko gondola. 20 mins walk to Akakura restaurants. It’s a tight walk between walls of snow and road. Can be dodgy. Yusan was very helpful with lifts in the van. To the lifts in the morning and dinner in the evenings. Felt very looked after 😊

What an amazing stay at Aibiya! We only had 3 nights in Nagano and decided to stay at Yudanaka so we would have quick and easy access to the snow monkey park and the snow fields. Aibiya was the perfect place for our little family with kids aged 8 and 6, an easy walk to the train and bus station. Right from the time of booking, communication was first class. Seongmi and Yoshi offered heaps of suggestions and advice on visiting the region as well as tips for making it a safer trip. Upon arrival, Yoshi made the check-in process very easy, had lots of tips for dining and even booked us a private rooftop onsen at a nearby hotel. The guest house is a beautiful traditional Japanese hotel which immediately felt like home. Our room was spacious and the shared areas were clean and tidy with plenty of books, games and origami for the kids. By far the best thing about our stay were Seongmi and Yoshi, the most welcoming, warm and helpful hosts. We look forward to staying with them again!

It was a really good experience and Lynn and her family are amazing 😊 hope to come back

From Jiezl and Brandon - Rich and Maiky were the perfect hosts. Their hospitality was absolutely amazing. We have always gone to nozawa onsen for skiing, but staying with Rich and Maiky, we were able to explore other mountains. Unfortunately we were sick during our stay and they went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and able to get better. They even helped us book doctors appointments. They were genuinely really nice people and very easy to get along with. The house is quaint and homely. Waking up to picturesque views everyday was incredible .We will definitely come back and make it part of our regular visits. We are excited not only to come back in better health, but also to come back and show our families this little gem in Iiyama. We can't wait to come back. Thank you so much Rich and Maika for everything.
