Our stay at Tanuki Lodge's Deluxe Quad room was a great option for a family wanting to be in the centre of Nozawa Onsen. 

Located directly opposite the iconic Oyu Onsen and within easy walking distance of restaurants, shops and the ski lifts, the lodge offers a convenient base for both skiing and exploring the village.

 The recent renovation has given the nearly 100-year-old building a fresh and modern feel while retaining some of its traditional character.

The Deluxe Quad is compact but thoughtfully designed. The queen bed and bunk bed configuration worked well for our family, and the private ensuite bathroom was a welcome feature after long days on the slopes. 

Storage space is limited, particularly when travelling with ski gear and luggage, but the room is clean, comfortable and makes efficient use of the available space. 

We particularly enjoyed using the shared lounge to relax outside of the room, complete with heater and TV.

The location is undoubtedly the standout feature. Oyu Onsen is directly across the road, while Nozawa's restaurants, bars, shops and public onsens are all within a few minutes' walk. 

The Yu Road moving walkway and ski lifts are easily accessible, making it simple to get onto the mountain each morning without relying on transport. 

For families wanting a central location and comfortable accommodation, the Deluxe Quad is an excellent choice.
