Running Hiking Nozawa Onsen Japan

Japan has long been known internationally for producing some world class runners. A lot of it is probably due to Japan having some perfect terrain to train in with the country being 74% mountainous. Along with a healthy diet, fresh mountain air and water and lots of soothing hot springs to ease any aches and pains makes Japan and especially Nozawa Onsen the perfect location to base your self for some training over the Green Season and also to enter some local events.
