2025 Nozawaonsen Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

This month, taking advantage of the skiing season, I also went skiing to join in the fun. I chose Nozawa Onsen Ski Resort, because compared to popular skiing places like Niseko, Nozawa Onsen Ski Resort is less crowded, convenient to travel, has a local atmosphere instead of being a resort, the single ski field is wide, beginner-friendly, and friendly to solo travellers. ❄❄❄❄❄ Convenient transportation: Get off at the Shinkansen Iiyama Station, and a direct bus will take you to the ski resort in 25 minutes. Delicious and comfortable: Nozawa has 13 public hot springs, and most guest houses also have their own hot springs, which are much needed after skiing; there are also enough restaurants, convenience stores in the town, bakeries, cafes, natural bars, etc. All living facilities are within walking distance: The town is at the foot of the ski resort, and it takes only 5 minutes to walk to the cable car entrance from the place of accommodation. It takes only 20-30 minutes to walk from one end of the village to the other, without the need for a car or relying on a shuttle bus. Cable car ticket (snow ticket): If you buy with a discount coupon, there are discounts of 50% and 20% respectively, and a 2-day pass can be used for 5500 yen. Equipment rental: There are many choices for renting equipment, the equipment in the ski resort is new and the price is pure board + shoes 4800 yen, and others can be added. Free shuttle of the ski resort: Nozawa Ski Resort has 3 main entrances, connected by a shuttle bus, remember that the return time is very important.

Nozawa Onsen Ski Resort in Nagano Prefecture is a popular ski resort with an elevation difference of 1,085 m, a 10 km course that is the longest of any ski resort in Japan, and a reputation for its good snow quality. The 36 courses range from beginner courses to ungroomed areas that will impress even the most advanced skiers, and you can also enjoy the traditional hot spring town that spreads out at the foot of the mountain. #tripmemory2022 #Nagano #NaganoPrefecture #NaganoPrefectureTourism #Skiing #Snowboarding #ConnectWithSnowboardLovers #SkiResort #SnowScenery

#Spring0yenTrip Nozawa Onsen is a laid-back place that still retains the atmosphere of an old-fashioned hot spring town. Locals can be seen using the public baths scattered around the town on a daily basis, and I felt the deep culture of hot springs. All the hot springs are free to enter, but there is a box for a donation, so it's a good idea to put a little in. If you visit in the snowy winter, the snowy scenery and the steam from the hot springs create a fantastic scene that is soothing to the soul. Restaurants and souvenir shops line the center of town, where you can enjoy local specialties and regional cuisine. Many of the meals are made with fresh vegetables and seasonal ingredients, and the dishes using "Nozawana" were particularly impressive. It was a wonderful place where you could relax your mind and body, surrendering yourself to the relaxed flow of time and the calm atmosphere of the hot spring town.

#japantrip Had a whale of a time here. Everyone is very friendly. Most of the shops have English speaking staff. Recommend trying the Basashi and Kuma meat (if you can find the shops!). Not many people know about them. The ski routes are well marked. Unfortunately the magic carpet was down so we can to trek up every time. The resort also had breath taking views of the mountain range in the distance. Truly an eye opening experience. The resort was easy to get to as well. Just take a train/shinkansen to Iiyama station, and from there, buy a ticket to Nozawaonsen via the Nozawaonsen liner from the vending machines. It would take you to the bottom of the resort, where you have to walk up to your accommodations. There is another vending machine at the Nozawaonsen bus stop so that you can purchase return tickets.

𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐩*⋆✈Nagano𓂃 𓈒𓏸Nozawa Onsen Nozawa Onsen Distillery Nozawa Onsen Distillery was built by renovating a historic factory that once supported the village by canning and preserving vegetables and ingredients. Founded in 2021, this new facility was just completed in 2022 I enjoyed tasting gin. It's interesting because the taste changes just by changing the way you drink it, whether on the rocks or mixed with soda! The tasting room tends to get crowded, especially in winter, so it's recommended to make a reservation. I happened to be able to enter without a reservation, but after a while, group customers started coming in one after another 🥹👍 And the whiskey barrels lined up all over the wall are impressive! The time when the maturation reaches its peak varies depending on the type of whiskey and the type of barrel, so it's hard to say🫢 By the way, the whiskey here is still maturing, and is scheduled to be released in 2026🥃 The goods are all cute, and I want a lot of them. lol 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄⁡ 𓊆𝑊𝑖-𝐹𝑖𓊇 ? ⁡ 𓊆𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑡𓊇 Some available ⁡ 𓊆𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒𓊇 12:00-20:00 ⁡ 𓊆𝐴𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠𓊇 9394 Toyosato, Nozawa Onsen Village, Shimotakai District, Nagano Prefecture 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 #tripdomestictravel #naganoprefecture #nozawaonsen

A few photos from my magical time at the Nozawaonsen fire festival!!

📍Location: Nozawa Onsen Grand Hotel This trip, starting from Myoko Plateau, has been skiing for three days, then drove 45 minutes to Nozawa Onsen to try out the different snowy atmosphere. There is not only a beautiful ski resort, but also authentic Japanese hot spring culture, most importantly, when booking did not know January 15th was the Taoist God Fire Festival, no wonder the holiday high upgrade and room tight, fit really super lucky. On the last day, after skiing, I drove 1 hour back to Nagano Station, then took the 3-hour Shinkansen down to Nagoya. Before leaving, I had a bowl of hot soba noodles on the station platform, perfect ❤️. ✨ Hotel features The hotel is in a great location, not far from a ski resort or a spa street. Staying here in the winter is really enjoyable, chilling at night while soaking in the hot springs and looking at the snowy scenery! After foaming, the person is loose. The room type I booked has a separate bathroom, so it's okay not to like big baths. 🛎️ Day 1 – After skiing in Myoko Plateau straight down to Nozawa Onsen After three days of snow skiing in Myoko, it’s a 45-minute drive straight down to Nozawa Onsen, with beautiful snowy scenery along the way. After arriving at the hotel check-in, the first thing to do is go to the large bath to soak in a hot soup to wash away the fatigue. At night, I went out for a walk on the hot spring street. I didn't know that I thought I was in Australia. The whole town was full of foreigners. Anyway, walking around found a lot of bars that had to try local snacks such as onsen buns, nozawa vegetables and authentic hand-beaten soba noodles to warm up. 🛎️ Day 2 – Skiing & night fire festival is super shocking After breakfast at the hotel, we immediately left for Nozawa Ski Resort. The snow trails here are long enough, the terrain is rich, and you can still look at the entire hot spring street while slipping. In the afternoon, return to the hotel for several hot spring baths to relax your muscles and prepare for the most important event of the night, the Daozu God Fire Festival. After the fire festival started, the villagers rushed towards the wooden pagoda with torches. 42-year-old and 25-year-old "bad year men" were responsible for guarding the pagoda. The scene was super crazy! The blazing flames burned red into a patch of snow, the atmosphere was so high that even the foreign tourists next to it could see their mouths wide open! 🛎️ Day 3 – Nagano down to Nagoya, last supper After soaking in the hot springs, check out early in the morning for skiing, finish skiing, pack your bags, drive straight from the ski resort back to Nagano, then take the 3 hour train ride down to Nagoya. Arriving at night, already extremely tired, before boarding the platform to find a soba noodle shop, before boarding the hot soup noodles, simple but most heartwarming. 🍽️ Breakfast & Dinner (one night two meals) 🔹 Breakfast (buffet): There are Western and Japanese options, Nozawa, miso soup, grilled fish are quite good. 🔹 Dinner (Meeting): Japanese kaiseki cuisine, including sashimi, wagyu beef, tempura, etc., exquisitely presented, the taste is not lost. 💗 Check-in experience 🔹Ski + hot spring combo, perfect journey combination! 🔹The hotel hot spring has a private bath in the open air, although it snows heavily, but it is great. 🔹The Fire Festival is shocking, you must see it if you have the chance! #Nozawa Onsen Grand Hotel #NozawaOnsen #Japanskiing #Skiing and Hot Springs #道祖神火祭 #wintertravel #ski accommodation #hot spring bath #Driving Japan #Japanese Inn #hot springstreet walk #Travel Recommendations #Snow scenery #skiholidays #Relaxation Journey

First time skiing 📍Address: Nozawa Onsen Village, Japan Snowboard recommends hiring a coach! ! Spending two days to learn can avoid many problems (e.g., injuries, loss of interest due to lack of achievement) But skiing is really a very expensive sport😂 After all, there are no ski resorts in Taiwan now, so you can only go skiing in nearby Japan, South Korea, and China~ Photography time: 2024/03/01

#0yentravelJanuary2025 This inn, which has a long history dating back to its founding in 1913, is full of atmosphere and just being there was soothing... We love to eat, so the best thing about an inn is the food! The best thing about an inn is that you can eat in your room. The food, which uses plenty of local ingredients and has a seasonal feel, warmed my heart😌✨ I'm glad that even though meals are included at such a charming inn, they're not too expensive🥹 1 night with 2 meals: 12,100 yen to 16,500 yen 1 night with breakfast: 9,900 yen to 14,300 yen

#DomesticTravelRecord #NaganoPrefecture #NozawaOnsen Nozawa Onsen, located deep in the mountains of Nagano Prefecture, is truly a hidden hot spring in Japan. You can stay at an inn and enjoy a free tour of the outdoor baths. The outdoor baths are separated for men and women. When you open the door, behind the blindfold, there is a changing room, and right in front of that is the bathtub. I was surprised by this structure. And the water in all the baths is very hot. It's difficult to soak in it for a long time. Also, there are no showers, so it may be difficult to wash your body thoroughly. It's a difficult hot spring for beginners, but it certainly has a very charming atmosphere.

#0yentripnovember This ski resort is located in the northeastern part of Nagano Prefecture and is the fourth largest in Japan in terms of total course area! Because of its size, there are no gondolas or lifts that can take you from the bottom to the top in one go! Take your time and make your way around! Because it is a popular ski resort worldwide, there are a lot of foreigners and not many Japanese people! So the restaurants are crowded! If you go at a different time, you will be able to eat comfortably! This ski resort is extremely challenging from top to bottom! Please go and try it out! ! 📍 7653 Toyosato, Nozawaonsenmura, Shimotakaigun, Nagano Prefecture
