Visitor Reviews of Nozawa Onsen
Scott Nolan from Australia writes:
We visited Nozawa Onsen for the first time and stayed halfway up the mountain in a fantastic property called Sasa-Nozawa. It snowed for the whole week we were there, and the powder was so light and dry. Ski patrol tend not to be too anal with skiing OOB .
The food in the village was ever so cheap, we found that we were paying around $60 for 2 for dinner AND drinks.
Also not to missed is one of the many free onsens around the village, they are great to soothe aching muscles after a days skiing.
Nozawa Onsen has something for everyone, and we will definitely be going back next year.

Announcements & News from the Nozawa Onsen ski resort manager

- Season opens: 3 Dec 2011
- Season closes: 6 May 2012
With just one month to go until the resort is set to open here in Nozawa Onsen on December 3rd, there is a cool feeling of excitement in the air.
The autumn leaves or Kouyo are in full blaze, and there are some beautiful colors sprawled out across the slopes
The staff as usual are out in the fields preparing the runs, cutting grass and trees to make way for mountains of snow which are hopefully just around the corner.
The Japan Meteorological Agency has put out their forecast and it is looking pretty promising with average temperature and precipitation in December and below average temps in January.
At the moment it is still fairly warm in town but temps are set to drop next week and get down to -5 degrees up top of Mt Kenashi. Anyway still early days.
