Snowy Beginnings In Nozawa Onsen – Another March Edition
Today marks the beginning of a big week of expected snowfall in Nozawa Onsen, with light snow expected to cover the slopes throughout today. A nice 3cm dusting overnight up top with a lesser dusting in the village. The Nagasaka gondala and Hikage gondala are currently suspended this morning due to the high wind activity. All of the lower mountain chairlifts will be scheduled to run as per normal at this stage. After a jam packed weekend of activities, consider this a gentle nudge from mother nature to slow things down and discover the charm of the town. Embrace today as an opportunity to reset and recharge as we anticipate more snow to come this week.
