NOZAWA ONSEN SNOW RESORT: THE STATS & FACTS
Located around 50km to the north-east of Nagano City, Nozawa Onsen Snow Resort – also referred to as ‘Nozawa Onsen Ski Resort’ – is one of the best and most popular resorts in the region. Nozawa Onsen is an excellent all-round resort catering to all levels with around 300ha of mixed terrain across 36 trails, serviced by the resort’s lively village. While the resort is relatively low, lying between 565 to 1650 metres, Nozawa’s typically receives excellent powder and the resort’s long runs make it very attractive to international visitors who flock to there each winter.
RECOMMENDED HOTELS IN NOZAWA
Accommodation at Nozawa Onsen is mostly located in and around the village centre. A hot spring town with a history dating back more than 1000 years, visitors are spoiled for choice when it comes to choosing their accommodation with many established hotels and an increasing number of high-end options popping-up each season including private/self-contained luxury accommodation. Of course as an ‘onsen’ (hot spring) town, Nozawa Onsen has its share of ‘ryokan’ (traditional guesthouses) with their own in-house hot springs along with multiple public onsen dotted through the town. Offering lots of restaurants, bars, nightlife and services for English and other foreign language-speakers, Nozawa Onsen is as popular for what’s on offer off the slopes as it is for what’s on offer on the mountain. We can arrange accommodation and ski packages at the following hotels:
