Genbe is an 11-room, modern Japanese minshuku (bed and breakfast) with futon beds on tatami flooring, renovated into an art and music-focused boutique inn in the peaceful village of Nozawa Onsen.

Available for whole-hotel rental for 5 night group stays through the winter season (Sun-Fri).  Breakfasts and one dinner are provided by our top-class chef.  Location is in Nakao neighborhood of Nozawa Onsen Village, a few minutes walk to the Karasawa lifts, Nakao public hot spring, and 13 minute walk (1km) into the center of the village.

Genbe blends traditional Japanese comfort with contemporary style, offering a quiet retreat just moments away from the hot springs and the world-famous Nozawa Onsen Snow Resort.

Each room features classic tatami flooring, minimalist Japanese interiors, and cozy futon mattresses, designed to give guests a calm, authentic stay. Throughout the hotel, you’ll find curated artwork, handcrafted decor, and a warm, creative atmosphere that reflects the spirit of Nozawa’s local culture.

Genbe is the perfect place for guests who appreciate design, comfort, and a memorable experience.

Whether you’re visiting for skiing, hot springs, relaxation, or exploring the village’s food and art scene, Genbe offers a unique stay that feels both modern and deeply Japanese.
