Bed and breakfast holiday rentals in Niigata

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!

Clean, pretty room view and a very complete breakfast. All staff is very kind. They drove me to my next hotel for free.

Aibiya was a lovely place to stay for our few days in Yudanaka! The hosts are very kind and provided many recommendations for the local area, including restaurants, shops, and bars. The onsen passes that you can purchase from the hosts are great since you aren’t staying at a ryokan. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing stay with Seongmi and Yoshi at Aibiya. We were there for 5 nights total to finish up our trip in Japan. I’ll probably forget some things, but here is a list of things that we loved about this place - Yoshi and Seongmi were fantastic hosts, so friendly and always up for a chat about anything and everything. - They provided us with great recommendations on restaurants and things to do in the area. - We were able to book onsens directly through Seongmi and Yoshi (there is a great one like 50m up the road that we went to twice) - Having breakfast provided. It’s a small thing, but so nice to not have to think about what you’re going to eat. - The place was always spotless and beautifully decorated and lit. We felt right at home immediately. Our only regret is not coming here a couple of months later to enjoy the snow. We will definitely be back in the ski season next time. See you soon! Jack and Maria

Loved our stay! Super warm, cosy, and homey with a great location – close to the ski lifts and gondolas, which made waddling up in our boots much much easier; and close to the main street, which was very convenient for dinner and shopping. Leo and Linda were so hospitable and welcomed us warmly. Felt like we were greeted by old friends :') Big thank you to Ellie and Cam as well for hosting us at the lodge, and for the great breakfasts! All in all, we left with full hearts and new friends.

I felt so lucky to have booked a room at Ado’s place. He was available at all time to assist and went above and beyond to help me after I had a bad injury on the 2nd day of my ski trip. He helped me move around, stay an extra night and also helped me get to my bus stop with all my luggage. I’d 100% stay here again knowing the service level.

今回は大人数で利用させていただきました。飲み会用の部屋やナイター組の早めの食事の用意などこちらの都合に合わせて段取りしていただき本当にありがとうございました。私自身は怪我で参加できませんでしたが、来シーズンは利用したいと思います。この度はありがとうございました。

Es war super schön. Die beiden Gastgeber waren äußerst hilfsbereit! Wir haben uns super wohl gefühlt und einen der Onsen in der Nachbarschaft besucht. Die Lage ist super - es ist ruhig und man kann direkt zum Snow Monkey Park laufen (ca 1,5h) oder den Bus nehmen. Es gibt viele kleine Restaurants und Bars in der Nähe. Wir würden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen.

We can’t thank Miho and her family enough for such a special, comfortable stay in Nozawa Onsen. Firstly, the location is incredible: an easy walk to the nearest chairlift, ski rentals, cafes, restaurants, and public onsen. The traditional room we stayed in was cosy and warm, as with the rest of the house that truly felt like a home away from home. The most memorable aspect of our stay though was the hospitality of the whole family. The cooked japanese breakfasts each day were delicious! The family were always happy to chat and answer questions. We sincerely appreciate learning about their family history, religion, and overall Japanese culture 🥰 They have made our trip to Nozawa onsen so special, and we will definitely be back!!

Amazing hosts to a brilliant resort

We happened to be the first visitors for this snow season. It was a comfy stay with breakfast; 3-min drive to Madarao ski resort; highly recommend

Honestly, such an amazing and warm place. The authenticity is so strong. Seeing the history of the family and the connection to the sports is a delight. The calmness of the region was very mindful and we loved the host. Such a nice family, very kind and just perfect. Thank you for the stay.

Excellent place to stay at a great value! Super close to ski lift and an amazing breakfast. In-house onsen (hot bath) is a great way to soak after a day on the slopes!

Good breakfast, good location! Also the staff were friendly and nice!

とてもいい時間を過ごすことができました！ チェックイン時間を調整頂いたりなど柔軟な対応をしていただきとても親切な方でした。 施設もとてもキレイで共有スペースも日本文化を楽しめる雰囲気でとても良かったです。 また是非利用したいと思います。

Great home away from home! Very close to the slopes. Nathan offers transportation to the ski resort in the morning and pick up in the evening. The house is warm and cosy and perfect to relax after a day of skiing. Breakfast in the morning is excellent and change every day. Plenty of restaurants and public onsen nearby. Nathan and his wife will give you lots of recommendations on where to eat. The Japanese family room was perfect for 2 adults and 2 kids. We will be back for sure.
