Christmas Eve Nozawa Onsen
Christmas Eve Nozawa Onsen Christmas Eve in Nozawa Onsen You should have been here yesterday. Santa arrived early and with him almost a meter of fresh powder snow. Just what the doctor ordered. The snow storm transformed the landscape into a winter wonderland with the brush of a Christmas wand. Many guests arriving were over the moon to arrive on the best day of the season so far. The snow was fresh and it remained cold up top all day so conditions under foot were sublime. The sun even came out and graced us with a beautiful bluebird day. Today is looking pretty similar with the sun just starting to peak out over the top of Mount Kenashi now. […]
One Meter Snow Nozawa
One Meter Snow Nozawa Oh what a night in Nozawa! Forget about the “Magic Foot” how about the “Magic Meter!” 90cm of fresh snow overnight for Nozawa and still snowing! Two feet are better than one but Three feet are amazing! We were excited to see a Magic Foot of fresh snow yesterday morning and today we are waking up to Three feet or 90cm of fresh snow! It snowed most the day yesterday but just intensified once the sun went down. It was one of those crazy Siberian storms when the sky was just full of flakes and it felt like would never stop.

Onsen Day Nozawa Onsen
Onsen Day Nozawa Onsen ♨️ Great day for an Onsen in Nozawa Onsen Waking up in a cloud this morning in Nozawa with rain falling in the village. Good chance it is raining up top too, the silver lining is temps are set to drop throughout today and it should turn to snow after lunch. The gondola is running so head up if keen. There are 13 free onsens in Nozawa and various private ones they are all housed in beautiful traditional Japanese buildings. It’s a great way to experience the local culture and makes you feel terrific, with the natural minerals it soothes away those aches and pains, and will help you bounce back the next day! Just be […]

New Restaurant Nozawa Onsen
New Restaurant Nozawa Onsen Fun in the sun for the Weekend in Nozawa Yesterday on the slopes was surprisingly good. We had a little top up of snow the night before and combined with what was blown from the machines gave good coverage on the upper slopes at Yamabiko. Enhanced with beautiful sunny conditions and very few people around made for an awesome Friday. This morning on the cams looks like a bit of a carbon copy. Temperatures seem to be the warmest of the week today, with light winds, so you can probably leave the extra winter layers at home. Ideal for everyone who wants to be outside to get some vitamin D and soak in some rays. Enjoy […]
Sun Snow Nozawa Onsen
Sun Snow Nozawa Onsen Sun shining but Gondola on wind hold It doesn’t happen very often in the season but today looks like the wind is strong and unfortunately blowing straight up the mountain and affecting the safety of the Gondola operation so there wont be any skiing today. We may get some snow later though. Tomorrow looks like the winds will ease and the sun will be back. So a good day to check out the Snow Monkeys or take a stroll around town today.
