Experience the Joy of Spring in Nozawa Onsen

Nestled in a small village, Nozawa Onsen is a natural treasure, captivating visitors with its stunning beauty throughout the year, thanks to its elevation range from 300 to 1,650 meters, offering unique seasonal scenery.

From mid-March through Golden Week, this period is known to the lucky few as a "hidden" season for snow activities. Nozawa Onsen is one of the few places where snow remains abundant into early spring, providing an ideal spot for skiing and snowboarding. It’s also your last chance to enjoy the powder snow, thanks to favorable snowfall conditions.
