Multi Resort Pass Nozawa
Madarao/Tangram
Madarao and Tangram are an easy one located just across the Valley from Nozawa and with public transport operating between the two resorts via Iiyama. If drive direct it just takes 30 Minutes and makes for a great day trip from Nozawa. Already well on peoples radar both are fun resorts to explore, read more about Madarao and all it has to offer right here; https://www.nozawaholidays.com/news/madarao-resort-a-great-day-trip-from-nozawa-onsen/
Togakushi
Togakushi is an interesting add-on and a little resort I really like. As the crow flies it is not far from Nozawa but access by public transport is a bit tricky. You can get a bus from Nagano station but if have the means your own car is the best way to go and is quite a nice drive up. The resort only has a vertical of 548m so half that of Nozawa and 7 lifts in total so is limited but the views of the Alps are spectacular and being able to check out the amazing tall cedar trees near the resort a huge bonus.
