The Town of Nozawa

Nozawa Onsen is one of the most traditional of Japans skiing areas. Its one of the only places where the slopes are reachable by foot from the township. You ski during the morning and have lunch in town during the day and have another crack at it during the afternoon. The place isn't ultra popular yet so it doesn't really get crowded. Here's a few previews of the town.


Mail box still in use until buried in snow


Last shops before the slopes


Natural hot springs used for cooking


It usually smells like veges around here

Looks really nice there.
Here in the South of Japan, the snow blows sideways,and never sticks.

Nice to meet you.
Thanks for stopping by,
