Why Nozawa Onsen Stands Out
Traditional Japanese Atomosphere
History and Charm as a Hot Spring Town
Nozawa Onsen has a history of thriving as a hot spring town long before it became known as a ski resort. Its greatest appeal lies in the 13 free public bathhouses scattered throughout the town, which are perfect for soothing tired bodies after a day on the slopes. The hot spring town features many traditional Japanese ryokan (inns), allowing visitors to experience authentic Japanese hospitality.
Family-Friendly Environment
Nozawa Onsen is known as a very family-friendly resort.
Nozawa Onsen ski resort offers ski lessons and activity areas for kids, along with English-speaking lessons, creating a safe and enjoyable environment for children
Diverse Slopes and Snow Quality

Nozawa Onsen Ski Resort is a single main ski area, yet it is very extensive and offers diverse terrain. It provides everything from well-groomed courses to tree runs and mogul fields, catering to skiers and snowboarders of all levels. It is considered to have some of the best snow quality in Nagano Prefecture, highly praised by powder snow enthusiasts. The average annual snowfall during the season reaches 11 meters.
Great Access
