Togari Onsen Ski Resort – Over the valley from Nozawa Onsen
Togari Onsen Ski Resort, the little neighbour over the Valley. Could it have the cheapest lift tickets in the world? You have probably looked at it a thousand times as flying down Skyline run or sipping your morning coffee on the way up in the Nagasaka Gondola. There is even a better chance you have seen the lights on for the night skiing over the valley. It is Togari Onsen Ski Resort and is sitting just over the river on the opposite side of the Valley from Nozawa Onsen. But how many have skied it? I must admit except for dinner I have not been over to Togari for quite a few years now. So what are we missing out […]

Nozawa Ski Resort could be open in just 1 Month!
More snow being reported in the North of Japan with some dustings again over the weekend always great to hear. At this stage the Resort is hoping to open on Saturday the 26th of November snow permitting. We normally try and open that weekend every season and we sometimes do. The last 10 years it has been on average opening December 1st so a few days later. If the snow does hit early like they are expecting then we may be skiing in just over a month, it is getting colder in the hills and it doesn’t take long for everything to change in the mountains! The forecast is saying we may get a dusting in Nozawa next weekend but […]

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 […]
