Nature and Community in Nozawa Onsen
✨🌱 The harmony of nature and community in Nozawa Onsen 🌱✨
In the heart of Nozawa Onsen, summer unfolds in harmony, a time when nature and community thrive together. Local farmers hold a deep reverence for the land, nurturing it with care to maintain its pristine beauty. This devotion is a foundation of what makes Nozawa Onsen unique, where the bond between people and nature is unbreakable. The Japanese word “shizen” captures this essence perfectly, meaning not just “nature” or “natural,” but embodying a deeper cultural and spiritual connection. It reflects a Zen Buddhist thought that embraces both human nature and the wilderness, intertwining them in a seamless existence. In Nozawa Onsen, this unity is lived every day, creating a tranquil balance that resonates through the mountains and fields.
