Nozawa and Myoko are only about an hour away by car. You cant rent a car in Noz and drop it off in Myoko though. Have you thought about hiring to drive from Tokyo for your trip? Here is how it would work: enter phone number of Nozawa accommodation into GPS. This will guide you to Noz via the expressway, a really easy trip. Then do the same to get to Myoko and back to Tokyo. I think it would probably cost the same as trains, but driving is easier for the transfer and also gives you a bit of freedom to look around. There are heaps of interesting things in that area, like the snow monkeys which you could do one afternoon while you are in Nozawa.
