There is often talk about the Mountain Bike scene in Nozawa with the ski runs and Gondola, Nozawa Onsen Ski Resort is a great choice for people to jump on a downhill bike and experience the thrill of the ride. Gives you a similar buzz to downhill skiing just the scenery and temperature are different!
Cycling or riding road bikes around Nozawa and further afield does not get talked about as much but the set up and options in the area are amazing!
A group of lads from Brisbane Australia have just arrived for a weeklong adventure. They brought their bikes with them and some cool matching wear! They have already discovered some great rides and the Craft Beer brewery! Staying at Nozawa House tucked up in the forest just above the Village it is an awesome base to set off daily and explore the surrounding terrain. With a carport to store the bikes, views of the surrounding mountains, a few hundred meters stroll to the village and all the restaurants and shops and a beautiful little Onsen or hotspring Taki no Yu just 50m from the door.
