Ski Lifts are planning to open in Nozawa Onsen in 1 Month!
That is correct with Mother Natures blessing on the snow front the Nozawa Onsen Resort is planning to get the lifts rolling on 28th of November 2015 just 1 month from today!

The Adventure of Nozawa Onsen Japan
We get a lot of families that come and stay with us in Nozawa year after year for which we are very grateful. This group of families from Western Australia has been coming for near on 10 years now! So we have seen the kids grow from little 8 year olds into young adults. On their last trip they put together this amazing video gives a good insight into how much fun your next trip could be with a few days in Tokyo and a week or so in Nozawa. Nice work guys, thanks for posting and look forward to seeing you back again this season. They stayed at Kamoshika Lodge by the way which is right on the slopes […]
Season Pass to be Jolly in Nozawa Onsen and Shiga Kogen
Shiga Kogen and Nozawa Onsen have just recently released a combined Season Pass for 75,000 Yen. Looks like it replaces the Classic Resort pass that also covered Happo in Hakuba but they are not in it this year and the price is a little cheaper. That gives you access to a massive ski area just 1 hour from Nozawa Onsen. Shiga Kogen has a combined 21 smaller resorts to give an amazing 607 Hectares of ski area and over 60 Lifts. The highest point is 2305 m too making it one of the highest in the region. It almost has a European resort feel to it with all the interconnected resorts you can ski to. Shiga Kogen gets mixed reviews […]
First Snow in Japan
Fuji san is the highest mountain in Japan standing at 3,776 meters above sea level. The next highest is Mt Kita Dake in Yamanashi at 3,193 meters. So Mt Fuji being the highest point by almost 600m it is going to be one of the first places to see the snow in Japan. Many people may think that Mt Fuji has snow on it all year round but in the Summer months it is pretty bare and a popular time to make the climb. A friend of ours was camping just near by this past weekend for the Asagri Jam Music Festival and got this great snap of Mt Fuji putting on probably her first Winter coat for the […]

Terminal 3 Narita Airport heading to Nozawa Onsen
The new Terminal 3 Low Cost Carrier terminal at Narita airport opened in April this year. Jetstar, Vanilla Air and a few other airlines use the terminal so many coming from Australia to ski this coming winter will probably get to check it out. It was built at half the price of a normal terminal and given a bit of a running track theme in line with the 2020 Olympics being hosted in Tokyo. I have been thru a few times and found it all worked pretty well. Only major downside is it is about 500m walk to Terminal 2 where the train leaves from and you need to go to take the Snow Shuttle up to Nozawa which you […]
Madarao Resort a great day trip from Nozawa Onsen
Madarao Nozawa Onsen We have posted a few Summer activities going on in our neighbouring resort Madarao about time we put up a winter shot. Madarao is located just across the Chikuma river and you can see it from the upper slopes of Nozawa. The resort was very popular with students mainly in the early 90s and used to be completely packed. Like many resorts in Japan it got quiet pretty quickly after the boom times. Aki san and the team over there have been working hard on putting it back on the map and it is becoming popular again. They have been concentrating on their powder game with 60% of courses ungroomed. There are some great tree runs and […]
