Nozawa Onsen Snow Resort Reviews
野沢温泉スキー場
Nozawa Onsen is one of Japan's oldest and most beloved ski resorts, first opened in 1924 in the mountains of northern Nagano. Its 36 courses span a 1,085-metre vertical drop across 297 hectares, receiving 11–14 metres of snowfall per season — among the heaviest in Honshu. The resort is inseparable from the traditional onsen village below, where 13 free public hot spring baths and the 850-year-old Dosojin Fire Festival (a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage) make it an iconic destination well beyond skiing alone.

What Riders Say
"We start our day here. Uenotaira. Do you like the chairlifts here? They have bubbles over them. To shield you from the weather. Let's just take the chair up, and then we'll ski back down and go all the way. It's the longest run in Japan. Ten kilometer run."
"I recommend when you get to the gondola get on it ride it all the way to the end station at Yamabiko and then from there you've got access to the whole mountain skyline a beautiful ridgeline run all the way back down to the bottom of Karasawa."
"konichiwa kimono wearers, this is Skyline on a bluebird day, this may well be the best run at Nozawa Onsen. head up the Nagasaka gondola then Skyline link pair to get to Skyline, which is 3.5ks down the ridge line. Starts red, ends black."
"A good portion of the food and beverage options are at mid mountain along Paradise Trail or at the top of each of the gondolas. The individual options along Paradise like Hakuin and Popey give great choices for groups."
"The most famous SKYLINE It's all on the ridgeline of the mountain a snow track So look down on this landscape beautiful enough If you are climbing a mountain, you will know The scenery on the ridge is very beautiful"
