Rainy Day Activities Nozawa

Good day for an Onsen

After some amazing powder days and some truly glorious sunny days here in Nozawa, this morning as forecast the warmer temps have delivered some rain. It started last night and was pretty light but a bit more this morning. We are at the mercy of the southerly wind shift driving that warmer Okinawa current our way.

Good news is the low pressure will move and change the wind direction and temps very soon and will see snow start to fall up top later today. Then it will intensify over the next 24 hours and bring with it some serious cold temps and snow fall.

So for today maybe hit an onsen there are 13 free ones in town just be sure to follow the local Onsen etiquette. Link here and in Bio with guideline and video on how to Onsen in Nozawa Onsen; https://www.nozawaholidays.com/onsen-etiquette/

Did you know many local houses are made without a shower as most locals including myself just onsen everyday. It is a part of life here and we treat the onsens as our own bathrooms. Everyone is welcome to enjoy them just do the right thing. Arigatou Gozaimasu
