Gondola Opens Tomorrow Nozawa Onsen
There is around 1000m vertical difference between the Village and Yamabiko so it can be very different up there.
Currently it is all white and the trees are looking very pretty. Be sure to wear good shoes and ski clothes to stay warm and dry.
Able to rent from Nozawa Central Rentals and other shops open in town https://www.nozawaholidays.com/ski-gear-clothing-hire/
Can also enjoy the spectacular views on the ride up and at the observatory on the top.
Anyway great to see the Gondola in action and means we are one step closer to Ski Season beginning.
