Nozawa Onsen Snow Sign Who has touched the sign in Nozawa? Anyone that has visited Nozawa knows this road sign at the top of Uenotaira run just after you get out of the Nagasaka Gondola and head down hill. It is part of the road that leads from Nozawa across the top of the mountains to Shiga Kogen. It is not every season you can touch it, depends on the snow depth I am guessing it is about 5.5 meters above the ground in summer so now pushing a 350cm base if you jump a bit you should be able to just about reach it!
