    Breakfast and Dinner were amazing. Many courses of beautifully cooked and presented traditional Japanese food. It was a joy to be taken slightly out of our comfort zone at breakfast and a memorable culinary experience.

    Stunning location, the outdoor onsens were private and had beautiful views (even the indoor onsens had incredible views too!), and the food was outstanding - we think the best food we’ve had on our trip so far!

    The very friendly, helpful Akihiro and Naoko as well as private onsens made our stay lovely! Nakaodaira also has a nice “homey” feel and clean, large rooms.

    The couple running the property warmly and kindly welcomed us and served delicious meals. There outside onsens had a beautiful view to the snowy mountain peak. The mood there was of complete relaxation.

    Amazing food (they were also able to provide gluten free options), great indoor and outdoor onsens. Very friendly and helpful staff. Rooms are decent. The location is nice but not amazing, and it's still a fair walk to the ropeway and so on.
