Ready for Winter Nozawa Onsen Japan

Ready for a Cool Change!

With temperatures in the village of Nozawa Onsen reaching over 30 degrees celsius at the moment we are already looking forward to the Snowy days like this ahead.

This video was early January last season and it seemed like the heavy snow would never stop.

Hard to imagine that it will be -10 degrees soon so a 40 degree plus difference from right now in Nozawa! As in winter it is cooler up top at Yamabiko almost 10 degrees cooler depending on the weather. Generally speaking 100 meters of increase in elevation can drop the temperature by 1 degree. So mathematically speaking with over 1000m vertical change between top and bottom in Nozawa we can expect up to 10 degrees cooler temps on top of Mt Kenashi.

The same applies in the cooler months depending on cloud etc.
