When planning a holiday it is always important to look at where to stay. Maybe more so on a ski holidays as want to be close to everything the slopes, lifts, restaurants, shops and the Onsens!

It was over 5000 when I first came here over 25 Years ago. So would appear it is getting smaller. If you look at our Map below and the scale in the […]

Tateyama Alpine Region Ski Japan The Skiing is not over in Japan Many of Japans Ski Resorts closed their lifts last Sunday with the end of Golden Week holidays and most Japanese peoples mind shift away from Winter pursuits into Summer escapes. Nozawa Onsen itself closed with a healthy 160cm of base up the top so there is still some good snow to be enjoyed here but would need to make your own way up! Believe it or not some parts of the Alpine region of Japan are in their best shape right now. They have too much snow to be easily accessible in the middle of winter, with massive dumps making roads impassable and conditions unsafe. Tateyama is one […]
