Snow on the horizon for Nozawa Onsen. If predictions are correct then we could be in for over 30cm of snow up top over the next few days. Snowforecast was pretty spot on last season and a lot of the time can almost double what they predict! Temperatures up top are getting down to as low as -8 degrees up top. Hopefully this will give us what we need for a December 3rd open as planned. We still have good availability right up until Christmas so will be a fun December in Nozawa so get on the site and drop us a line if keen to come up for a slide https://www.nozawaholidays.com/ http://www.lodgenagano.com/

Just under 2 months to go until the Snow season starts in Nozawa Onsen time to get excited. The resort has announced that it will open the Lifts from December 3rd snow permitting.

We will be open from end of November and there is usually snow up top to ride a sled, make a snowman and enjoy the Onsens. We have already had our first dusting though so the signs are positive. After a pretty warm Summer as always in Nozawa Onsen […]
