We have been working with our good friends at Maruji for many years and have introduced many overseas skiers and boarders to stay at their lodge. Most people come back time and time again. It is a Minshiku but has a beautiful entrance with polished wooden floors and views across the valley at the end of the hall that set the scene for an awesome Nozawa experience.
Tomii san the owner was an Olympic downhill champion and an all round champion guy. He was a great friend and mentor to us over the years. He sadly passed away a few years ago but his wife Eriko and her extended family have carried on the tradition and will make you feel very welcome from her first smile.
Beautiful traditional Japanese style rooms, amazing food, huge ski room, awesome views and friendly Japanese service all the things you are looking for on a Nozawa ski holiday. Better book early though as it tends to fill fast…
