Best Time Visit Nozawa Red, Green, Yellow, Blue and White delight in Nozawa A few days ago all the colours came to life in Nozawa Onsen. Up at Yamabiko we received our first magic dusting of snow for the season and the way it united with the Autumn “Koyo” colours was spectacular. October is early to get snow in Nozawa and to be honest we are not really ready for it. Prefer to see some more of this beautiful foliage of the Autumn fall and get some great hiking in before the winter snow arrives. Best Time Visit Nozawa Looking at the forecast we may get another small dusting on Saturday night but it is not really time for snow […]

Nozawa Do Pre Season 20cm of fresh snow up in the Japan Alps Hakuba Sanso Lodge sitting at 2832m above sea level woke up to this amazing view yesterday morning. A decent 20cm of fresh snow settling on the deck. It was enough for the lodge staff to call the Hut closed for the season.

Snow Clearing Nozawa Onsen
Snow Clearing Nozawa Onsen The Shovel Measure in Nozawa Throwback Thursday to some big snow seasons in the past. I often measure a heavy snow season by how many times I have to clear the snow off my roof. Anyone that has been to Nozawa has seen all the locals up there risking life and limb to keep the snow at bay as it piles up over the season. A huge dump can see up to a meter of snow accumulate on the tin overnight. Get a few nights of that and the roofs can become heavy so need to be cleared. Snow Clearing Nozawa Onsen An average season in Nozawa would say have to get up there for a […]
Bear Nozawa Onsen Japan
Bear Nozawa Onsen Japan There’s a Bear or two out there in Nozawa This cute little Black Bear was spotted on the home trail between Hikage Gondola and Nagasaki Gondola just a few days ago.

Early Snow Skiing Japan
Early Snow Skiing Japan Throwback Thursday from Nozawa in December 2014 9 Years ago now, the time certainly flies by. Anyone that came that season would remember it, not one you will easily forget. Normally in early December we are sitting on the edge of our seats waiting for the snow to arrive. In 2014 the seats and the whole car were buried under 3 meters of fresh powder in just a few days. It was real early too. Think the storm started on December 3rd and we went from nothing to a 2 meter base in a few days! Just 6 months away until we are back at this point and as always will be interesting to see what […]
