Snow week coming Nozawa
One of my favourite things about skiing at Nozawa Onsen, is seeing all the pups and dogs racing across the ski field. Siberian Huskies, Shiba, labradors and retrievers. Every day, I spot at least five furry friends running about in the snow. It’s simply adorable. Even more so if the dog is wearing ski goggles, little booties or a warm coat! Of all the places I’ve skied, I’ve never seen so many dogs!
If you or your family member would like to pat the dog, you can ask via the phrase below! It’s always good to introduce yourself to the owner as well!

SNOW FORECAST:
Snow week coming Nozawa
The clouds have nestled in amongst the Nozawa Onsen mountain range and it will be cloudy all day. Tomorrow will bring freezing temperatures and snowfall absolutely all day. The snow showers will get heavy by the afternoon, continuing on into the evening. The forecast states at the moment we should have a metre of fresh snow by the end of tomorrow! Moderate snow showers on Wednesday, a brief respite from the snow on Thursday with sunshine (POWDER BLUEBIRD DAY!) and then the snow is back for the weekend with several half a metre falls.
It’s excellent timing for all our new guests to the village this week! Welcome and we hope you enjoy your stay. If want to try some powder skis or boards during your stay drop in and see the team at Nozawa Central Rentals they have a great range; https://www.nozawaholidays.com/ski-gear-clothing-hire/
