About Nozawa Onsen
Nozawa Onsen is one of Japan's most atmospheric ski villages, a traditional hot-spring town in northern Nagano Prefecture where outdoor public baths (soto-yu) have been communally maintained for centuries. The ski area climbs dramatically above the historic wooden buildings, delivering reliable powder conditions and a vertical of over 1,000m that suits intermediates and confident beginners. After skiing, bathing in the 13 free public onsens woven through the village streets is an unmissable experience that sets Nozawa apart from every other ski resort in Japan.
