Happy New Years from Nozawa Onsen

 

 

Happy New Years and 明けましておめでとうございます from Nozawa Onsen
A New Year and New Adventures awaits and we wish you all the best for 2024.
The Snow Gods have been kind for the start of the New Year, with 30cm or the “Magic Foot” of fresh snow up top. We got hit with rain down low last night but it was snowing the whole time up the top and has seen the Base jump to 90cm this morning. It eventually turned to snow down here in the Village too and is snowing lightly as we type.
It was fairly mellow New years in town last night, the bars were jumping and people were also making their way to the temple to bring in the New Year
