Happy Valentine’s Day from Nozawa

 

 

Love is in the air, and so is the sunshine! After days of incredible snowfall, the snow gods are giving us a well-earned break with clearer skies and beautiful views from the top —an absolute gift for Valentine’s Day! Yesterday’s snowfall freshened up the slopes for the upcoming sunshine for the next couple of days. Whether you’re carving up the slopes or enjoying a cozy onsen soak, today is perfect for making winter holiday memories.

 

 

Did you know Valentine’s Day in Japan is a little different? Here, it’s tradition for women to give chocolates to their partners, friends, colleagues, and even themselves! From Giri-choco (obligation chocolate) to Honmei-choco (true love chocolate), there’s a sweet treat for every relationship. Don’t worry, guys—White Day is just a month away for your turn to return the favor!

With more sunshine on the forecast through the weekend, it’s the perfect time to hit the slopes and soak in the stunning mountain views. Looking for a special dinner spot to celebrate? Check out our restaurant guide here: https://www.nozawaholidays.com/restaurants-bars/ 🍷✨
