Nozawa Onsen


"The skiing is excellent at Nozawa with heaps of runs for all abilities – mainly gondolas and covered chairs.It was 3 minutes walk from the hotel to a free travellator which takes you 500m up to the ski area (maybe 20-30 different runs) and hire shop (where you can store your gear),reasonably priced restaurants ($15 for hot lunch and coffee), bars, cafes etc.There is even a ski jump ramp which makes you realise how courageous those people are in the Olympics!

Resort

Nozawa Onsen is Japan's oldest ski resort and one of the largest. Established as a ski resort in 1924 but the township dates back to around the 8th century due to the natural hot springs.

Nozawa Onsen is a traditional village and a great ski resort, perfect if you want a ski holiday with a true cultural experience.
