Comfy and cosy place to stay with a quite traditional Japanese flavour. Convenient to Nagasaka Gondala and ski hire places. Staff were very friendly and helpful but the shared bathroom facilities were a bit limited. Breakfast was an additional cost (it was a reasonable price) but ideally should have been included in the room cost.

Thank you for your staying at our guest house.Shared bathrooms will be shared with other people, so there are some restrictions. Although the price is a little high, some rooms have private bathrooms, so if you are concerned about bathroom restrictions, please choose a room with a private bathroom.It is possible to create a room rate that includes breakfast, but in that case we will also receive money from guests who do not need breakfast. We believe that it would be more advantageous for those staying overnight to have the person who needs it pay and order it.In fact, about 40% of our customers don't order breakfast, and there are also customers who eat or don't eat breakfast depending on the day.We understand that ordering every day may be a hassle, but we appreciate your understanding.

Great location, friendly staff, good food and authentic Japanese style rooms. Could not have asked for anything more.

Wafu was a lovely little comfortable ryokan. It was shared facilities that were kept extremely clean. It had everything we needed for our stay. The owner and staff were very friendly and very helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place to others. Note the place was a little noisy at night but generally settled by 10.30.

We loved our stay at Wafu Pension Miyazawa in Feb 2019. It is in the perfect location, halfway between the main street of town and the main Gondola so never have to walk too far to get anywhere. All the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. We arrived late at 2am and the staff were happy to organise a late check-in and stay up for our arrival. The room and all facilities were kept extremely clean. The traditional style beds were the comfiest compared to others we have slept on before. We had dinner only one night however it was delicious, highly recommend the hot-pot! And the breakfast is very good value. Highly recommend Wafu Pension Miyazawa! We will be back for sure!
