Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are english speaking and so are the majority of our guests. Staying and working in a small village in Japan is in itself a fantastic cultural experience. Nozawa Onsen is over 1000 years old and families have been in the village for many generations. From using the local Onsens, the day to day activities will allow use of Japanese language and taking on the infamous Japanese recycling system which is an experience in itself.
