Winterland Lodge, Taproom and Gyoza Bar was inspired by mountains, music, craft beer and bring people together. The 6-room, 3-star hotel and taproom opened in 2018, resurrecting a building that had once been a popular restaurant but had been sitting empty for more than a decade. The popular Nozawana and vegan gyoza were created for Winterland by good friends who own and operate family-run gyoza factory in Utsunomiya – the heartland of gyoza in Japan. Winterland’s owners, Gardner and Natsuko Robinson, are also partners in Nozawa Onsen’s original craft beer taproom, The Craft Room, and bring that passion for good beer and cider to Winterland. Winterland is cozy, comfortable and unpretentious. We believe in good people, good value creating a memorable experience for our guests.

 

Each room at Winterland has the original private unit shower/bathrooms; there is shared guest lounge with smart TV, washer and dryer, a drying room and the popular taproom is on the second floor. Winterland is located right across the street from the main Nozawa Onsen Bus Terminal, making arrival a breeze. It’s just a 6-minute walk to Yu Road (the free escalator that takes you up to Hikage Gondola Station) and the free shuttle to Nagasaka Gondola is also right out front. We do book out early so please contact us to check availability.
