NIKONOS III

A refined hideaway where design meets stillness, set above a private garden and just steps from the mountain.

A modern dining room with a wooden table and six black chairs with woven seats. A large paper lantern hangs above the table. The room has shoji-style windows and sliding glass doors with snow outside. There is a black bean bag chair in the corner and a small bookshelf.
Interior of a modern kitchen with black cabinets, a large island with wooden cutting boards, and a dining area with a paper lantern ceiling light and shoji-style windows.

Spacious free standing house in Nozawa Onsen. Very comfortable inside. Good size kitchen and second toilet. Only a few minutes walk to Karawasa ski lift. Host lives locally in the village and went over and above to accomodate all our needs.
