A great ski resort for beginners to intermediate skiers. Slopes are long enough, and there is plenty of beautiful snow and nature. Main downside is the connection between slopes which is not always optimal.

04-Jan-2025 First snowboarding experience ever. Loved it enjoyed every moment there. They have beginner to expert levels and area is quite large. All type of ski lovers can enjoy and learn skiing here. We rented from Solomon located just in way to resort. We rented two snowboard sets (7000yen each for 5hrs). Fell down a-lot and tried many times and hope I got better. The onsen village is also great place to explore near the ski resort. We strolled in evening in our way back. Recommended and definitely going again.

Great Ski/Snowboard resort !!! So much beautiful snow. Many different routes for all levels. Many beautiful ridge trails that have great views. Our trip was mid march and we were lucky as we enjoyed great snow (a week prior to our visit it had been rainy every day, would recommend going sooner in the season or count on your luck).

We had a magical 5 days ⛷️ on this gorgeous mountain ✨plenty of trails for all levels, well-maintained runs, with plenty of sunshine and the heaviest snowfall. The trails are well-marked with clear signage, and the gondolas and chairlifts make it easy to hop between trails and keep the momentum going. Whether you’re a beginner, intermediate, or advanced skier, there’s a perfect run for you. There are restaurants up the mountains too - special mention to Buna’s beef udon (absolute comfort in a bowl) and Popeye’s coffee on the Paradise trail - perfect motivation to ski down for me. A huge shoutout to Anthony, our instructor, who was patient, empowering, and made learning so much fun. What makes Nozawa extra special is that it’s owned by the city, not a corporate mega-ski chain, which gives it a unique charm and a welcoming, local feel. Can’t wait to be back!

I've snowboarded all over the East coast of America, Switzerland, Korea, and this is by far the best snow I've been on. It's been amazing here. Added bonus, Snow Monkeys, Onsen, and great food.

Wonderful ski resort! Traditional onsen town to compliment. Then on mountain food is unreal, all the soloists feel family owned and have incredible food. Didn’t get to ride the new gondola as it was always crowded but was still able to get around without too much crowds. The resort area is very unique and run by the city not corporate mega ski corps and it shows! I really hope this resort stays off the “passes” and keeps its charm.

Nice little ski village for everyone. Ski slopes for experts and beginners alike. Village has many warm, onsen ryokans and traditional local food joints. Options are available for those who would like a drink or two.

Came up via 2 very long travelators to get to the base to go zip lining in Sept 2025. Familywith 2 adults and 2 kids was 7,000 yen. Was so much fun.

Great place for kids. Can ski to the snow resort. Moving walkway takes you very close to the town centre.

Very beautiful park but unfortunately that when we go there, it was close. Anyway we have a great time building a snow man (our1st time) so it a happy time.

Fantastic ski resort with free, efficient transfers. The day-care centre for toddlers/children is really well run with the most super friendly staff. The price is amazing affordable (5,00 yen for 4.5 hours, 4,000 yen for the second day). It is a godsend for parents with young children. Restaurants, ski rental shops and lift tickets all here and within a minute of the Hikage gondola.

Very nice place for skiing. Food places is also good.

A lovely resort area in the winter and the rest of the year. There is winter skiing and summer skiing. In the green season, there is also a zip line you can ride. Yu Road is a moving walk way that takes you right to this area from the village. There's also a kid area for your kids to bounce around in.

After a long, motorized walkway delivering us to the ski resort entrance, a selection of restaurants and shops reveals in front of us. There are 2 ski/snowboard rental shops to choose from: St. Anton, and 白樺( Not sure what the English name was). St. Anton seems to be the older and more reputable, the other one's (白樺) staff seem to have an ego problem. Shop around before you rent.

(Translated by Google) 2023.4 I didn't go inside the building, I only saw the outside. I've only heard of it before, but I don't know much about it, so I can't say much about it. . . (Original) 2023.4 館内は入っておらず外観だけ見ました 聞いたことあるぐらいで内容はよく分かってないのでなんとも言えないです。。。

(Translated by Google) I went because I love children's songs. The video explanations were easy to understand and the exhibits were easy to see. They're closed on Mondays, but I was glad they're open on public holidays. (Original) 童謡が好きなので、行きました♪映像による、説明もわかりやすく展示も見やすかったです。月曜日は定休日ですが、祝日は開館されててよかったです🪄

(Translated by Google) There was no one there when I went, so I was able to enjoy the view quietly. You can enter the museum without making a reservation and watch videos. I had originally wanted to become a Japanese language teacher, so it was a very meaningful time for me. The view from here was spectacular and reminded me of my hometown. Along the way, families and couples with children stopped by, and their children were singing "Spring is here." I'm very happy to be able to watch the show in such a peaceful mood from start to finish! (Original) 私が行った時は誰もいなかったので静かに鑑賞することができました。 館内は予約をしなくても入れてビデオなども上映されています。 元々国語の先生になりたかった私からするととても有意義な時間を過ごせました。 ここからみる景色も絶景で地元を思い出すものでした。 途中からは子連れの家族やカップルなども訪れ、子供は春が来たを歌っていました。 終始和やかなムードで見ることができとても満足です！

(Translated by Google) I heard that he was the creator of songs such as Furusato, Oborozukiyo, Autumn Leaves, and Spring Has Arrived, but why is this building in Nozawa Onsen, and does it have any connection to this place? My long-held doubts have now been resolved. I have seen stone monuments in Nakano City, but that is the place where he was born, and Nozawa Onsen is where he moved to in his 50s and lived and loved for about 20 years until his death. Looking at the chronology, at the age of 24 he became a teacher at a normal school, and two years later became in charge of singing at the Ministry of Education, and by the time he was 36 years old, he had created a series of songs that were electrifying to many people. Since then, he has advocated and put into practice the need for more research into traditional Japanese music in the field of education, which tends to be dominated by Western music, and until his later years he studied Kabuki and other Japanese poetry. I want to say thank you for that. It is said that children no longer sing hometown songs. They say it's because the poems are too old-fashioned to understand, but that's what makes them interested in the past. I felt that the beauty of Japan, which has been cultivated for a long time, was conveyed through beautiful melodies and songs. (Original) ふるさと、朧月夜、紅葉、春が来たなどの唱歌を作った人と聞いていたが野沢温泉になんでこの建物があるのか、この場所にゆかりがあるのか？と長らく疑問に思うのが氷解した。中野市でも石碑を見たことがあるが、あちらは生まれた土地で、野沢温泉は50代に移り住み20年ほど亡くなるまで暮らして愛した土地だという。年表を見ると、24で師範学校の教諭から2年後に文部省の唱歌の担当になり、そこから36歳までに次々と多くの人に膾炙する唱歌を生み出した。 当時から洋楽にかぶれがちな教育の現場を、もっと日本古来の音楽を研究していくべきと提唱して実践し、晩年まで歌舞伎など日本の詩歌を研究したという恰幅の良い銅像をギュッと抱きしめてありがとうねと伝えたくなる。いまや子供たちは、ふるさとなどの唱歌を歌わなくなっているという。それは詩が古風すぎて理解できないからというが、それこそ過去に興味を持つきっかけになるのに。美しい調べと歌を通して長らく育んできた日本の美しさが伝わってくることを感じられた。

(Translated by Google) This is a memorial museum for Tatsuyuki Takano, who is known for writing the lyrics for songs such as "Hometown," "Haru ga Kita," and "Oborozukiyo." On display are Tatsuyuki Takano's belongings such as manuscripts and letters, as well as his collection of calligraphy and paintings. Located in Nozawa Onsen Village. When you go up the slope in front of the public bath Juo-do, you will see a Western-style tower-like building. Admission fee is 300 yen. There is also a parking lot. Dosojin, famous for the Nozawa Fire Festival, is enshrined next to the entrance.

Less hot than Oyuu, but much smaller and the water was dirty in the afternoon

Really loved this onsen. Only complaint is one of the local women treated me rudely although I followed the rules of onsen strictly. I had already been in there for ten minutes and I had an injured leg. She came in an passive aggressively turned the tap off which I was next to and got angry at me. I assume She thought I was having a shower in the onsen - when I already had by sitting next to the wall and bathing, i was not bathing in the onsen- I was just getting used to the temperature as it was a very cold night. Can make you really uncomfortable when you’re naked and another naked person is critiquing you and bothering you when you cold tired and vulnerable lol are just trying to relax. And another night an Australian woman was loudly yelling to her partner and son on the other side. So basically- loved the onsen, didnt like the company in the onsen. Not very foreigner friendly and I get that- but I am very respectable person. Maybe yell at the loud Aussie lady.

Even less hot than Kumanotearayu (an onsen already considered less scalding than most in the town). Not hot enough in my opinion but may be suitable for those who want something warm rather than hot.

Four words: free, hot and relaxing. Lovely for an early morning soak or/ and after an afternoon snowboarding... or whatever exercise brings you to Nozawa Onsen. These smaller onsen are always worth experiencing, mix it in with one of the paid options and you will undoubtedly increase your experience of the town.

nothing to complain

(Translated by Google) This is a free hot spring in the area. So please use it carefully. There are simple changing rooms. A hot source is flowing into it, so if it's hot, fill it with water. Also, there is equipment for making hot spring eggs outside, so if you bring your eggs in a net, you can make delicious hot spring eggs yourself. (Original) 地域の無料の温泉です。なので綺麗に使用しましょう。簡易な更衣室らはあります。熱い源泉が流れ込んでるので、熱い場合は、水で埋めましょう。あと、外に温泉卵作成用の設備があるので、卵をネットに入れて持ってくると、美味しい温泉卵が自作できます。

(Translated by Google) It was incredibly hot. It's a mixed spring of Okama and Ontake, and the water is sulfur-containing, sodium-calcium sulfate hot spring. I think it was the hottest. Takinoyu was also hot, but this one was hotter because the tub was bigger. It was colorless and transparent. The hot spring deposits were like fluffy white fibers. (Original) めちゃくちゃ熱かった。 大釜と御嶽の混合泉で、泉質は含硫黄-ナトリウム・カルシウム硫酸塩温泉ですって。 1番熱かったんじゃないかなー 滝の湯も熱かったけど、こっちのほうが湯船大きいから熱かった 色は無色透明。ふわふわ白い繊維のような湯花

Gin distillery. There is a bar here where you can get a gin flight showcasing the four main gins that the distillery produces as well as gin cocktails using Nozawa gin. The staff are friendly and happy to chat. There is a gift shop selling branded Nozawa gin products as well as the gin itself.

We dropped in for a gin tasting - best to book if you can as it was busy but we still got in and got a table. Delicious grazing platter and the gin is amazing, we bought more to bring home, delicious! Great staff, friendly and accommodating.

Not your typical British/Aussie dry gins. I tried the Barrel Aged Gin and Autumn Gin. Really sweet maple notes for the first, and shiso spiced for the latter.

Had great fun tasting gin. I am not a gin drinker but certainly enjoyed learning about the different botanicals in the nozawen onsen gin. This is one gin that drinks well neat with a balanced cedar wood forest flavor

Amazing gin & beautiful building a worthwhile spot to explore before dinner or anytime in your Nozawa adventuring. I know it's not the intended vibe, but would be great to have comfortable seating to stay a little longer because it is such a good joint.

Super excited we were able to visit so close after the grand opening. We can’t wait to buy all the gins! Love that the ingredients are local and highlight some of our favorite Japanese flavors. Excited to go back and see the bar all put together.

Lovely setting and reasonable price for tasting however needs mixer. While understanding the point to try straight there needs go be an option as they are very strong gins. Food and other drinks available will make it grand.

(Translated by Google) As the birthplace of Nozawana, this temple is said to have been built before the Edo period. It is located in a quiet place behind the hemp pot in Nozawa Onsen. (Original) 野沢菜発祥の寺として、江戸時代より前に建てられた寺とされています。野沢温泉の麻釜の奥のひっそりとしたところにあります。

(Translated by Google) Is this Japan? Nozawa Onsen was so crowded with foreigners that I doubted it. There were no people who turned right at the end and went to Kenmeiji Temple. You will be amazed at the amount of snow that has fallen on the roofs of the Sanmon gate and bell tower. Naturally, to prevent accidents due to falling snow, entry to the temple grounds was prohibited. (Original) 此処が日本？なのと疑うほど、外国人で溢れ返える野沢温泉でした。突き当たりを右に曲がり健命寺へと行く人は、全くいませんでした。山門や鐘楼の屋根に降り積もった雪の多さには度肝を抜かれます。落雪による事故防止の為、当然の事ながら境内へは立ち入り禁止になっていました。

(Translated by Google) Since it is said to be the "birthplace of Nozawana", I visited on Wednesday, October 18, 2023. It is not a famous tourist spot, nor is it large, but when you visit it, you can see the atmosphere of an ancient temple, such as the main gate, main hall, and carvings on the buildings. I was also able to ring the bell in honor of my wishes. It was Wednesday and it was quiet, so I didn't have the courage to attack... After visiting here and learning about the origin of Nozawana, I am glad I purchased Nozawana pickled vegetables. We think this is a must-visit spot when strolling through Nozawa Onsen Village. (Original) 「野沢菜発祥の地」とのことなので、2023年10月18日（水）に訪れました。 有名な観光地ということではなく、広くもありませんが、訪れてみると、山門や本堂、建物の彫刻など古刹の雰囲気で、良い感じです。志を納めて鐘を撞くこともできました。水曜日で、ひっそりとしていたので、自分には、撞く度胸がありませんでしたが... ここを訪れて、野沢菜の由来に触れてから、野沢菜漬けを購入して良かったと思います。 野沢温泉村の散策では、訪れるべきスポットと考えます。

(Translated by Google) A cool place in the tourist area of ​​Nozawa Onsen. There is no temple nearby that sells goshuin stamps, so it might be a good idea to have one here. (Original) 野沢温泉と言う観光地の中にある涼し気のある場所。 近くに御朱印を扱う寺が無いので、ここだけでもあると良いかも知れない。

(Translated by Google) Hidden away from the bustle of the hot spring town, this is the only place where temples are lined up. There was a sign posted at the entrance of the main hall indicating that seeds were also available for sale since this is the birthplace of Nozawana. Please note that we do not seem to be accepting entries for the Goshuin book. I also looked for a collection stand, but couldn't find it. When I returned to the tourist office and explained that I couldn't find it, they told me the exact location, saying, ``It was installed at the top of the stairs in the temple grounds.'' When I went to visit again yesterday, a blue sheet had been pasted around the area, and there was no sign collection stand. (Original) 温泉街の賑わいとは一線を隠し、ここだけ寺院ぶ軒を並べている。野沢菜発祥の地だけに種子も販売していただけるようで本堂の入口に貼り紙がありました。尚、御朱印帳の記入は受け付けていないようです。更に集印台を探しましたがわかりませんでした。観光協会に戻り見つからなかった事を説明すると“境内の階段登った所に設置した”と正確を教え頂き、昨日改めて訪ねるがその付近にはブルーシートが貼られ集印台はありませんでした。

(Translated by Google) The temple where Nozawana originated. It is said that the chief priest here brought it back from Kyoto, and it mutated into the current Nozawana. It's funny because if I hadn't brought it home and grown it, there wouldn't be any Nozawana in this world today. (Original) 野沢菜発祥のお寺。 こちらの住職が京都から持ち帰ったものが、変種して現在の野沢菜になっていったそうです。 持ち帰って育ててなかったなら今頃野沢菜はこの世にないのですから、面白いです。

(Translated by Google) A shrine that appears when you come up the Nozawa Onsen town. It was a hot day under the scorching sun, but there was a cool breeze blowing here. (Original) 野沢温泉街を登って来ると現れる神社。 炎天下で直射日光が刺す暑い日でしたが、ここだけは涼しい風が吹いていました。

Moving escalator that gets you up to the other side of the ski slopes. Not difficult to find on foot, just follow the signs. My husband and I tried to drive here following google map directions and found ourselves navigating really narrow roads and there was nowhere to park. We ended up having to leave our car back at the hotel and walk here. Better to come on foot. Also due to the shape of the tunnel, watch your skis when using the escalator! Best of all it’s free.

Thank goodness for this free travellator to bring people up to the ski area. Saves the climb up. A nice 2 stage escalator that is quite an engineering feat. There are staff and cameras monitoring the travellator to ensure everyone’s safety. No probs getting ski or snow board equipment on it. Come down near sun set and be rewarded with stunning views at the bottom of Yu road.

Well built infrastructure to go up to the ski area.

Easy to access and its good as it connect directly from village to the ski area

Great sunset view from the entrance

Very convenient way of getting from Nozawa Onsen Town to the Ski resort

A free escalator/travelator service to the Hikage Ski slope. Not much else to it really.

We stopped here for lunch & coffee today, and everything was delicious! Would definitely recommend, and we will be back again too! Open all year around!

This was an excellent experience! I loved how much cat stuff there was. There were cat magazines and books and stuff, and I was looking at a phrase book with photos of cats, which was helping me with my kanji practice... The atmosphere was just absolutely lovely, and the service was nice too. I had an ontama curry and cafe latte, both of which were brilliant. The curry had a very unique flavour, and a bit of a kick without being spicy. It also came with soup, which was nice too. The coffee has a very soft texture and a taste which was the perfect middle, not too strong, not too weak. Great place, would recommend!

A delightful, heartwarming cafe in Nozawa Onsen serving some very good baked curry rice with cheese & egg. We also enjoyed their affogato. Vibrant ambiance and very courteous service. A pleasant culinary memory to take back with us to Hawaii!

Lovely Cafe. I find espresso based coffees ( latte, flat white etc) very hit and miss in Japan. So I was especially happy when the latte i ordered tasted delicious. The drip coffee, as well as the baked curry were also nice. The apple cheesecake was so-so.

Baked curry goodness... So good 😍🍛 Light but delicious soft onsen egg wjth pickled vegetables and rice, hojicha lattes, orange peel chocolate cake and coconut banana cake. Love the cozy interior and the staff are so nice and welcoming.

Absolutely delicious baked Japanese curry! One of the tastiest meals I’ve had in Japan! Thoughtfully decorated and very clean and cosy cafe. Cute inside and outside with lots of detail and thought. Fabulous collection of vintage Japanese toys, books and great old photos of local area. Simple small menu but would recommend coming here for lunch in Nozawa Onsen!

There was much to look at in this small cozy cafe. V cute place decorated with old toys of the owner and pictures of Nozawa back in the days - like a mini museum. Drinks options were good with several adult friendly options e.g. hot choc with alcohol).

If you're craving a standard burger along with all the grease and carbs and fat (I mean all of this in a good/ delicious way), then this place is for you. I can see its appeal after a day on the slopes and you just want to satisfy that carb craving. For a burger, it's pretty solidly average. But for a burger on the mountain after a solid day of skiing, it's great. Food takes a while after ordering since they cook the burger fresh. Shop is tiny with a few seats so it might be better to order takeout. Service is great and the guys who run the shop are super friendly.

If you are a little sick of Japanese food, you should really try out this burger place ! The beef patty was amazingly good. I had the YAMABIKO B (DELUXE). Also you need to try the fries. No reservation allow and the place is very small so limited seats.

Nice burger joint jn nozawa. Stumbled across it as we needed something about quick. Guys were prompt in service and atmosphere cosy. Warm and inviting. Burgers pretty good as well. Better than i had expected and worth the rating. We had the yami A and yami B.

We came here for dinner tonight and this place did not disappoint. We ordered the one Genki and Abunai each and they were delicious in their own way with very different flavors. We also ordered a original Loaded Fries and they were delicious and quite filling. The wait time is what it is because these burgers are cooked to order so we were happy to wait. The place is cozy, but there is enough seating and the dinner crowd quickly filled the space. I thought the price was quite reasonable for the freshness and the quality. You get what you pay for. I recommend this for anyone looking for a top notch burger while they’re here and I would revisit again. Also, they have a hot sauce available to try that I haven’t seen before and it has a real kick which mixed nicely to the ketchup.

Nice delicious burger 🍔. We ordered no.1 and 4 from the menu list. No.4 is very delicious, it come with egg and nozawa veg pickles. Limited seat in the small shop, but the burger is delicious, worth the wait.

Genki Burger is defined one of the best burger spot in Japan! We visit every time we are in the area—it never gets old. We love the loaded hot fries—served with chopped up jalapeños. I always go for the veggie burgers. They’re all delicious, but the lotus and fried tofu edge out the mushroom for me. Highly recommend this if you’re in the area.

Convenient little shop with a burger menu where each item is named after the pistes of the snow resort. It's nothing amazing, the burgers rely on sauce to be tasty, so when no sauce is used it's really quite average. The staff are helpful and attentive, it's not a bad restaurant, it has a comfy sort of feel.

If the manager/owner tells you wait 30 minutes to get a table, tell him to forget it. We ate here once and the food was not bad. We returned a couple of times but were told it is closed - you might as well have dinner 4:30pm since they close so early. The fact that it’s barely open during high season of Nozawa, by 7:30pm they won’t accept clients and the attitude of the manager, we will not return. Best of luck when it’s not high season. You can find alternatives nearby.

Walked in for dinner at opening at 5pm. A few of us were escorted immediately to tables with limit of 1 hour. Excellent sushi bowl! We will return with friends ( & be sure to make reservations!) Kind and Welcoming staff!!

It was a cold day so it was lovely to go in for a bowl of soba, and it was good soba too. Very strong flavours, very tasty. A little pricy compared to what we're used to in Tokyo but worth it. Service was very nice, though I do wish they didn't change all the settings into English as soon as they saw us... I know it's polite since there are a lot of overseas tourists here but it feels a little insulting, we live in this country, and that gets tiring...

My favorite place to eat in Nozawa. The food is great and the staff super friendly. The sushi is fresh and rich, the miso really good and different. It's hard to get a spot to book in advance

The tuna melted in my mouth in a way that tuna has never done before. I ordered the soba combo - the flavors of the broth and noodles were great but I was wonderfully surprised by the quality of the nigiri. Egg was also cooked to perfection. I thought about how much I would miss this meal, while I was still eating the meal. A lovely cozy spot with highly attentive service. They turn groups away if there’s a short queue so try to time your visit well :)

Seems like a popular restaurant and hard to book. Best to call one week in advance to reserve a table. To my surprise, the restaurant was not busy at all after the first round of diners left at 7-ish in the evening. Food was fine but nothing special. Foreigner friendly as you order using a tablet (there is an English menu with photos), cups and water are also self service, no need to speak Japanese.

Review based on the restaurant. With a fully booked sign hanged on the window, it is no wonder why it has been so highly recommended and in popularity. Wakagiri offers traditional Japanese meals at a super affordable price, with great selection, fresh and vibrant Japanese meals. The eye stopper is how much everything cost which is so good! Highly recommend

Great food!!! So glad we came to this place the last night in Nozawa Onsen

This lovely izakaya is situated in the first floor basement just under the heart of Nozawa Onsen. Everything i ate was delicious and freshly made , and presented with care. The staff were very attentive and friendly. I can easily recommend this as a place to have food and drinks for the night. I didn't rate the atmosphere 5 stars in my review as it happened to be empty at the time , however, that may be because I came on a rainy December day when the ski fields were closed.

Great paced meal - lovely service. Beautifully curated sake specials. The smelt, grilled onigiri, pickles, sashimi, meatballs, chicken yakitori, all just so great. Definitely make a reservation and you can eat and drink slowly and totally enjoy. In a basement but with more seating than anticipated. A really fun and super delicious experience. The butter corn and butter potato were SO good. Ate and drank a lot - 13100 JPY for two of us. Oh and tons of lemon sours were had!

Decent Izakaya at Tsukushinbo Nozawaonsen. A bit more sophisticated than Sakai but still decent pricing. Check out the Grilled Atka Mackerel…

Incredible food in a nondescript location. The Yellowtail was simply one of the best things I ate the entire trip to Japan. Overall a bit too pricey but about half the dishes were well worth it. The French chef behind the bar was very helpful and we enjoyed our conversations with him. This spot is popular with locals and now getting very popular with tourists so best to book a few days ahead.

Good izakaya tucked away in the basement. Our fav dish was the hokke which was perfectly cooked it was almost buttery!

Definitely get a reservation. We showed up around 830 and had luck getting a table after waiting for a bit, but I think we just lucked out. Popping place with a fantastic specials list, delicious food, and great sake list. We over ordered and ate it all. We will definitely go back, our server Yugi was a bad ass with great recommendations. Some things we ordered: octopus Wasabi, chicken skewers, stick cheese, puffer fish skin, all sorts of shashimi, fried chicken, rice balls. Sadly, I didn't get a single photo.. we were enthralled and enjoying too much

Take your lift pass to get a discount! Quite expensive for what you get...maybe better value in the summer when outdoors is open too. Only choice really if with kids as (as a visitor) the village onsens would be too hot for the kids...so it is better than nothing so we could all have an onsen together.

The nice outdoor pool is basically useless because it's closed for half of summer . Opens for 6 weeks and then shuts, what is the point of having a pool that's closed for half of the summer? Then for some reason there is a semi-enclosed pool that is 36c...in summer, what on earth is the point of having a pool that hot, don't people swim to cool off? Make both pools a bit cooler and use the money you will save on heating to stay open longer?

Very warm hot springs, very kind service. The floor inside is very rough so I'd recommend bringing flip flops. They rent their swimsuits but it's Japanese sizes so their largest is not that large at all.

Fantastic option for families in the summer. Ample parking, not crowded at all during the weekdays, and the 25° outdoor pool is a respite from the summer heat. When you enter the building, take your shoes off and put them in a locker. Bring your shoe locker key to the front desk when you pay and they will keep it for you. Adults (junior high school and above ¥700, children ¥500). They will then hand you a locker key. Lost locker keys will be charged ¥3000. Bathing suit rentals are ¥300 with a ¥1000 deposit that is returned when the bathing suit is returned. The changing room has bathing facilities with soaps, showers to wash off after the pool, and even a free swimsuit drier which works much like a salad spinner except for bathing suits. There is a restaurant connected to the pool area -- just need to dry off before heading in to eat. A nice option for those that want to stay the whole day. Unusual for Japan: no swim cap needed, diapered children can swim as long as they use a waterproof cover, and we even saw a young shirtless with several large tattoos, so maybe a tattoo-friendly facility?!? Cafeteria takes only cash or Paypay. Summer hours (8/1-8/27) are 9:00-20:30.

Great onsen if you’re shy to get naked. Swimsuit allowed in 2 of the baths. Good food in the cafeteria.

Most of Nozawa Onsen's public baths follow the traditional style that most tourists wouldn't be used to. SPArena follows the more modern style found in other cities, with a dedicated bathing area. There are also mixed bath areas where a bathing suit is required.

Outdoor pool watching the snow was a refreshing temperature! Fun to hang with your entire group despite gender in swimsuits. Cafeteria looked good but we went at an off time. Entry was 700 jpy per person - so reasonable!

Good location but can be crowded at times. The water was way too hot when I visited.

(Translated by Google) Bathed on May 1, 2025. Yokochi no Yu. I visited Nozawa Onsen while visiting the public baths. Like other outdoor baths, it was very piping hot, but I managed to get it in without adding more water. It's been a year since I've been to an outdoor bath at Nozawa Onsen, but the moment I soaked it up to my shoulders, “Ah, I came to Nozawa Onsen.” I was able to realize that. It's strange to me that even though I don't like hot baths, Nozawa Onsen is my favorite, but I think it's such a special place. The building feels old, but it's well maintained so it doesn't bother me. I have nothing but gratitude to the people in the area who are taking care of it. (Original) 2025年5月1日入湯。 横落の湯（よこちのゆ）。 野沢温泉外湯巡りでお邪魔させていただきました。 他の外湯と同様に非常にアツアツですが水を追加することなく何とか入れました。 1年ぶりの野沢温泉の外湯ですが、肩までどっぷり浸かった瞬間に、 「あ〜野沢温泉に来たなぁ」 と実感出来ました。 熱湯は苦手ですが野沢温泉だけはお気に入りなのが自分でも不思議ですが、それくらい特別な場所と思います。 建物に古さは感じますが手入れはされていますので気にはなりません。手入れをされている地域の方には感謝しかありません。

(Translated by Google) One of the outdoor baths. The bathtub can accommodate two or just three people. The hot spring analysis book describes it as a mixture of boiling pot and lower pot. Basically, it's a hemp pot, but the detailed description may tickle the enthusiast's mind. I don't know if it's because of the distance from the source, but the texture and temperature are mild for Nozawa. It may vary from time to time. It is a normal public bath in Nozawa. The fact that there are so many public baths of this quality and a wide variety of hot spring sources is unrivaled. (Original) 外湯の一つ。湯船は二人かギリギリ三人というところ。温泉分析書には茹釜と下釜の混合という表記。要は麻釜だが、表記が細かいのは、マニア心をくすぐるかも知れない。 源泉から距離があるせいか分からないが、肌触りや温度は野沢にしてはマイルド。時々によって違うかも知れないが。 野沢においては普通の外湯ではある。このレベルの共同浴場が数多くあって、源泉もバラエティ豊かなのは、他の追随を許さない所ではあるが。

(Translated by Google) An outdoor bath next to the Yokoochi traffic light. The building is the same as a travel agency cafe. The source temperature is about 90℃. The women's bath is a round tub. (Original) 横落信号の脇にある外湯。 旅行代理店カフェ？と建物が一緒。 源泉温度　約90℃ 女湯は丸型浴槽らしい

(Translated by Google) This is probably the outdoor bath with the most normal (weak) spring quality in Nozawa Onsen Village. The changing room is humid and smells strong, the bathtub is small, and it's so crowded for two or three hours after the ski resort closes that it's impossible to get in. However, we usually use it after 10pm, so it's almost completely private. (Original) おそらく野沢温泉村の中で最も泉質がノーマルな（薄い）外湯だと思います。更衣室の湿気と匂いが強く、浴槽も狭く、スキー場営業終了後の2, 3時間は混雑でとても入れたものではありません。ただ、我々は普段22時過ぎくらいに利用しているのでほぼ貸し切り状態です。

(Translated by Google) The source is Ogama, just like most other hot springs. The exterior looks normal, but it's semi-underground and the bathtub inside is circular. How cute! (Original) 源泉は麻釜で多くと一緒。 外観も普通な感じだけど、半地下で、中の浴槽は円形 可愛いじゃないか！

(Translated by Google) '25/9/25 The bathing fee is an offering. There is one indoor bath (over 46°C). The water is turned on fully and bathers can only bathe in that corner. Parking is a free parking lot less than a 5-minute walk away. It's spacious, but it's rare to find a free parking lot, so it may fill up quickly. There is a fee in winter. (Original) '25/9/25 入浴料は賽銭　内湯１つ(46℃以上) 水を全開にしてその一角のみ入浴可能　駐車場は徒歩5分弱の横落駐車場(無料) 広いが稀な無料駐車場なので満車になりやすいかも　冬季は有料です

Very traditional atmosphere, the server was really great and caring. Food came out and was delicious. Thank you for the meal 🙏

The food is so delicious the YAKI TORI DON ( grilled chicken with sause ) is SO GREAT. All time favorite 😋♥️

We got the unagi and yakitori bowls. The unagi bowl was decent but pretty standard. The yakitori bowl was amazing value and delicious.

One of my favorite restaurants in Nozawaonsen. They do not take reservations and I recommend coming early during the lunch period. It is not guaranteed that they will be open during the evening hours. I had the 大盛り焼き鳥丼 Large Yakitori donburi. It seems to be there most popular dish but the unagi also looks amazing. Such amazing quality and preparation. The building and environment are also amazing!

First time here - tried the yakitori don (grilled chicken on rice). Taste was excellent - sauce was especially tasty. Good balance of sweet and savory. Rest of the dishes were good too. Worth a try if you're in town!

Atarashiya is my favourite restaurant in Nozawa-onsen. Although their opening hours are short, it is worth going out of your way to climb the hill to get there. Atarashiya has an entire selection of affordable rice bowls that cater to each and everyone’s palette. I would recommend going there at around 4pm for a quieter meal and no queues, but expect a 30 minute wait if you go there at noon.

Amazing yakitori don. The chicken is very tender, grilled to perfection. Best yakitori I had...

Not much to see but a spot where locals can use the hot springs to cook or wash, non-locals not allowed to enter, it was quite messy when I went with planks and other stuff everywhere, probably renovation work after the winter. Saw one local in the morning, otherwise very quiet.

Cool open hot spring at the top of a hill in the village. Only locals are allowed to use the spring, as it’s so hot that it’d burn the uninitiated , but it’s a beautiful sight nonetheless.

Beautiful onsen For villagers only

We, turists , can't get in or use here. Just for locals.

This preserves for local residents only. Local people use this onsen to broil eggs and vegetables.

Ogama is an outdoor hot spring which is surrounded by shrines, set in a beautiful, historic corner of Nozawa Onsen. This onsen is so hot (90℃), locals use it to cook vegetables and eggs. You can try some of this food in the market next to the onsen. There is also a large foot onsen around the corner (summer only). If you head down the hill from Ogama, you will see some of the most beautiful Ryokan accommodation and gardens in Nozawa Onsen.

It's fun to buy corn from one of the local shops cooked in the naturally boiling water if the Ogama.

There was way more here than we expected, so it was absolutely worth the price. We learned a lot, about local nature as well as Hannes Scneider and Olympic history and there were some interactive things which were good fun!! We had just gone on a walk up the hill... it was raining and we didn't know what was up there, we just wanted to go on an adventure, so it was a lucky find, especially since everything else in the area was closed. No one else was there so they turned on lights and heating just for us... the good thing about visiting in off season!

Shows a good history of Japanese skiing. Interesting display of original skis and poles. Worthwhile visiting if skiing isn't an attractive option on an inclement day or possibly at the end of the day's skiing.

Good enough for the price, worth a visit if you're not skiing.

Cool ski museum detailing the history of skiing in Japan, as well as the Nagano Olympics. Some English, however not much so you'll have to google translate a fair bit of it. Still impressive however.

Staff are nice , Close at 4pm， Worth to visit

Skiing museum we found it interesting its the only ski museum we ever see. Good place to get out of the cold.

Worth a visit, some good history of how skiing developed in Japan and also the relationship between St Antonio and NozawaOnsen

Food is great! If you love gyozas and craft beers, this is the place to be. We are back every season and will visit this place at least once.

Winterland is across from Nozawa Chuo bus terminal. It is advisable to make bookings during busy periods as it gets crowded at the Taproom. The gyozas were delicious and perfectly cooked. Our daughter really enjoyed the mini kids room away from the bar. Great place to down ales or sours on a cold night in Nozawa.

Only discovered Winterland on our second last day in Nozawaonsen and wish we had found it earlier! The staff are absolute legends. Forget Shibuya crossing, sitting at the Winterland window eating sensational gyoza, drinking a beer, and watching the one traffic light crossing in Nozawaonsen as the snow falls is a bucket list experience in Japan. The happy hour deals are worth getting off the slopes for!

Great chicken ! Super shizo gyozas ! Definitely a great place for a drink with friends after a day of riding on the mountains !! Staff is friendly and super efficient ! Go and go back !

We loved our meal here. The toddler space was fantastic for our little one, as was the fact that we could book online. We had various gyoza, salt and pepper squid and taco rice - all of it was excellent. Tap beers were great too! Staff were friendly and efficient. Highlight for me was the dessert gyoza, I will dream about that for a while I think.

Was really looking forward to some Japanese craft beers but this place really disappointed. Staff were so rude, and 10 gyoza took over 50 mins with only one other table of people in the venue. I reckon they forgot our order. They decided to cook their own lunch rather than cook our order even after we asked about it. None of the cooks were Japanese and the gyoza tasted like they’d come from a supermarket frozen pack. Go anywhere else that’s open.

Came here for beers and gyoza on the recommendation of a friend. Really wanted to love this spot, but unfortunately came away disappointed because our gyoza came out at room temperature. Nothing sadder than biting into a lukewarm gyoza. Five stars for service though— waiter instantly offered to remake cold ones and took one plate off the bill. Unfortunately, the second time around the gyoza were still not hot enough inside. Really perplexing, since the outside looked good. I believe these are frozen gyoza and they didn’t have enough time to defrost and steam before being seared. Really quite disappointing for a place where gyoza is supposed to be the star of the menu. Otherwise, good beers and great service.

The pizzas are good but be prepared to smell like oil after leaving the place. My fav pizza is the ramen pizza and I love the crispy squid. It's a must order! Definitely worth trying when you are staying at nozawaonsen!

This is great pizza. Last month we had pizza marumo in Tokyo which was named top 10 in the world. This is the same level. Staff was all really awesome as well. Only wish they were open for lunch too.

Went here specifically for the Ramen Pizza and it did not disappoint. Very unique and cool flavour and the sauces they had for dipping were a nice pairing

Superb pizzas! The owner said they ferment their dough for 3 days, probably why the crust was so delicious. Fantastic creative toppings - the cauliflower, blue cheese, and pine nut pizza was outstanding. The salmon and winter greens salad was also excellent. Wine list is well chosen and good value. Great vibe, great food.

This was our best meal in Nozawa Onsen! They have plenty of vegetarian pizzas on their menu. Option for vegan cheese too. We had the Kinoko and Nasu pizza, both vegetarian pizzas. We really enjoyed the Nasu pizza which had a Japanese twist to it. The spring onions on that pizza 👌🏽. Loved the crust and crust dips! Be sure to come really early (we came at 4:50pm before opening) or make a reservation, to not be disappointed.

Delicious pizzas! Would highly recommend if you’re after decent pizza. Better pizza than back home in Australia. Great atmosphere.

Great restaurant in Nozawa! We went here twice during our stay. The pizzas are excellent - we tried quite a few but our favorite was the pepperoni. We did the set meal through our hotel. We loved the limoncello when we arrived! Service was excellent -t he staff were so kind and accommodating. The cocktails were great as well - my favorite was the Panama. Definitely recommend!

Minato is everything you want in a classic izakaya - cozy tatami vibes, great sake, and seriously good food. The crispy fried tofu, fresh juicy sashimi that sliced just right, the yakiniku chicken and seafood pot - all absolute comfort food after a long day of ski. The lady boss is so cool she’s almost intimidating - but in a way that makes you respect the place even more. Call ahead for a booking, bring cash and an empty stomach.

We got a table luckily without a reservation at 6:30pm. Love the fried tofu, fried shrimp, and other dishes were good.

Amazing food and it comes out quick. A good variety of different Japanese foods to try. However the drinks are overpriced and under-poured. I ordered a Coca-Cola for 400 yen and I saw the waitress pour half a small bottle into a glass filled with ice and she didn’t fill it to the top either.

Amazing food and atmosphere. Nice and quiet. BBQ chicken, sashimi platter and miso hot pot were amazing. We recommend booking early to get a spot.

My favourite izakaya in nozawaonsen, you would need to make reservations during ski season. Everything we ordered was delicious and the shirako and sashimi was splendid - can’t be missed. Food and drink was well-priced. Highly recommend Minato for one of your dinners in nozawa!

The best Izakaya in Nozawa! The lady/boss takes orders and serves food by herself. She is so lovely and cute. As it was empty due to covid, it was sad but we were lucky we could have a good conversation with her! It's right in front of Furusato no Yu. The seafood is amazingly fresh and the quality of meat are amazing too. It's sooooooo tasty. They're getting the best ingredients from Nagano and the Japanese sea area. Ok the menu is not so much but it looks only one or two people were working in the kitchen. We went twice during our stay and we will definitely come back!

Small izakaya. One lady boss/server. They have tables sitting on the floor, bar counter seating and one table with a pot in the middle. There was quite a number of locals inside. Again, we ordered almost everything on the menu, except the horse sashimi and the hot pot. For 4 pax, our bill was ¥11,000.

Location was perfect being ski-in-out location right near chairlifts and near the end of a few runs. We elected half board and the food was delicious. Having a kids play area was a bonus when our kids needed a break or while they waited for the adults to finish up dinner. An on-site onsen and outdoor jacuzzi was amazing after a long day out. Onsite rentals with quality gear was great. Courteous and friendly staff who go out of their way to assist, especially the owner, made the whole experience enjoyable. Will be back again!

One of the best ski hotel that I had ever been. Hotel is simple but clean. Owner and Staffs are Super nice and helpful. The osen is a real natural one and you will definitely enjoy it after the whole day in snow. We booked a western style room with dinner and breakfast. Every meals are so tasty and fresh. I am sure they have the best cook in Japan! I love the hotel so much and I enjoy every meals they made for us.

Absolutely love this place, the staff are wonderful, food is amazing and just overall a beautiful place to spend Christmas. Was incredibly happy staying here and already planning another trip back. Highly recommend

Food was good but a bit pricy. Eh but it’s a ski hill what more can you expect…. The staffs are very nice though.

Hurt my leg on the Slopes was not allowed to sit down there are plenty of seats but they only allow customers to sit down money orientated non helpful unlucky me

Excellent service, great breakfast lunch and dinner service, Ski in ski out, what more can you ask for.

Best grub on the slopes mate. Get the Katsu!!

Great view on the mountain top!

the top of nozawa onsen resort. nice view with good weather

vast resort where you can enjoy skiing

The mountains of Nozawa Onsen that father loved most

Awesome slope for ski

(Translated by Google) The top of Nozawa Onsen Ski Resort. You can come by taking the gondola and lift. The view from here is amazing. (Original) 野沢温泉スキー場の頂上。ゴンドラとリフトを乗り継いで来れる。ここから眺める眺めは最高です。

(Translated by Google) I visited the Nozawa Onsen Village factory to buy Nozawana. Even though I only bought one standard variety, I received another one as a souvenir. It may have been a coincidence, but thank you. I'm looking forward to enjoying it with some Shinshu sake. This year's Nozawana will be available after November. (Original) 野沢菜を購入したくて本場の野沢温泉村工場訪問 定番の１つ購入しただけにも関わらずお土産に１個いただきちゃいました たまたまかも知れませんが💦 ありがとうございます 信州のお酒といただくのが楽しみです １１月過ぎになると本年度の野沢菜が出るみたいですよ

(Translated by Google) I actually wanted to go there and buy some, but since I don't ski or snowboard, I don't have any business to go to Nozawa Onsen, so I bought some pickles online. It was delicious. In the first place, my local supermarket was selling Nozawana pickled products in collaboration with a local pickle shop, so I was interested in that shop, so I searched and found this shop. I looked at this restaurant's website and asked for the tortoiseshell-colored Nozawana, which is only available during the winter season.The lactic acid-fermented tortoiseshell-colored Nozawana that is eaten locally is delicious and has a good reputation among my family, so it is only available during the winter season. I re-ordered it inside. Actually, I'd like to order it in a barrel, but my region doesn't get cold so it's difficult considering the quality of the pickles. So, I thought of it as a winter treat and ordered some pickles from here. (Original) 本当は現地へ行って購入したいけど、スキーもスノーボードもしないので、野沢温泉へ行く用事が無いので通販でここのお漬物を買いました。美味しかったです。 そもそもは、近所のスーパーがこの辺りの漬物屋さんとの野沢菜漬けコラボ商品を売っていたので、その店に興味を持って検索してたらこの店にたどり着きました。 べっ甲色の野沢菜、しかも冬季限定というのをこの店のHPを見て頼んでみたら、現地で食べるような乳酸発酵したべっ甲色の野沢菜が美味しくて家族からも評判が良く、冬季の期間内に再発注しました。 本当は樽で頼みたいのですが、私の家の地方は寒くないので漬物の品質を考えると難しいです。 なので、冬の間のご馳走と思ってちょっとだけここのお漬物を頼み、いただきます。

(Translated by Google) Many of the Nozawana sold as souvenirs are rather salty, probably because they have a long shelf life, but the Nozawana here has just the right amount of saltiness and is very delicious. Moreover, it is additive-free. There are several types depending on how they are pickled, so next time I would like to buy all types and enjoy the taste. (Original) お土産用に売っている野沢菜は日持ちをさせるためか、わりとしょっぱい物が多いですが、ここの野沢菜は塩味が丁度良くとても美味しいです。しかも無添加。 漬け込みの仕方で、種類がいくつかあるので次は全種買いして味を楽しみたいと思います。

(Translated by Google) I bought additive-free Nozawana pickles. It was very delicious with a strong salty taste, and for me it was a top class taste. I was given a bonus, but it might depend on the timing... (Original) 無添加の野沢菜漬けを購入しました。気持ち強めの塩味でとてもおいしく、私の中では上位クラスの味でした。おまけもつけてもらえましたが、タイミング次第かもです…。

(Translated by Google) This is a souvenir that a child who went on an expedition to the Nozawa Onsen Ski Resort went to a ski tournament and was recommended to buy the real thing by the people around him. Although it is a lightly salted product, it is simply delicious due to fermentation! It's delicious! Both children and adults couldn't stop picking at it. When I go to Hokushin, I repeat Tomiki Tsukemono. (Original) 野沢温泉スキー場でスキー大会に遠征した子供が、周りの方に本物をとすすめられて買ってきたお土産です。薄塩味という商品ですが発酵のシンプルなうまさ！美味しいー！ 子供も大人もつまむ手がとまりませんでした。北信に出向いた際はとみき漬物をリピートです。

(Translated by Google) Speaking of pickled Nozawana, this is it! It's rare to see him outside of Nagano! Be sure to get it if you can, the taste is the same as the handmade one, right? The price is as low as mass-produced products, and it's much cheaper than buying raw and pickling it at home. Other than Shinshu Hokushin So, since I don't see it very often, is there a way to get it by mail order? Is there nothing else? Why don't I ask on the phone? We also sell them at Nagano Tokyu, Station Building Midori, and the factory. It's from 9am to 5pm! (Original) 野沢菜漬けと言えばここでしょう‼長野以外でお目にかかるのは稀‼あれば必ずゲット、味は手ずくリと同じ､？値段は大量生産並みの安さ、ワザワサ生を買って家で漬けるより、ずっとお得。信州北信以外 ではあまり見かけないので必ず手に入れる方法は通販？しかない？ 電話で聞いたら？長野東急、駅ビルみどり、工場でも売ります。9時から5時までです！

(Translated by Google) All of the delicious Nozawana pickles are so delicious that I decided to buy some more online. We recommend purchasing this item if you are going out nearby. Both the regular pickled Nozawana and the stir-fried Nozawana were very delicious! (Original) めちゃくちゃ美味しい野沢菜漬、どれも美味しすぎるので通販で買い足すことにしました お近くにお出かけの際はご購入オススメします 普通の野沢菜漬けも炒めの野沢菜もすごく美味しかったです！

3rd season we went to Akari for breakfast or dinner (~10times in total). Tasty food and pizzas, and good quality for the price. The place is cozy and really good if you want to relax. The staff is really friendly and welcoming !

Fantastic sleeping with the windows open as you can hear the water running through the village. Very peaceful setting.

We ordered take away and I got the order wrong. Instead of just leaving it, the staff identified the issue and contacted me via WhatsApp — amazing service! The pizzas are great. We ordered six to our Karaoke place and they were well received by everyone. Very nice pizza.

Incredible service, location and hosts. Gab (the owner) assisted us immensely when our kids got sick and was so helpful when we needed to get to hospital. Location is so convenient to both the snow and the rest of town. Don’t get me started on the food options. So so great!

I was a local on Nozawa Onsen over the winter and went to Akari numerous times. Love their breakfast and pastries ❣️ In Spring they have a small patio and you can have drinks outside, perfect spot for a sunset. Highly recommended!

We popped in for a last minute dinner here and luckily secured a table for two. Would recommend booking if you have a larger group as the restaurant is on the smaller side. We shared a pizza and dessert and it did not disappoint. The cheesecake was top tier, I wish I took one home. The dessert options were amazing! Pizza was also yummy. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Great place!!

2nd or 3rd time I stayed. Nice apartment. Bakery/restaurant downstairs is super convenient too.

First time trying nozawana on top of pizza and omg it works so well definitely recommend it!!!

I haven’t tried everything on the menu here, but I tend to stick with my favorites—and honestly, they never disappoint. Every visit leaves me with a smile. The hearty Nozawana dish with pork and cheese hits the spot, especially after a few hours out in the snow. It's warm, comforting, and full of flavor. The French Toast? Absolute perfection. Light, fluffy, and just the right amount of indulgent—it’s almost too good to share (Don’t!). Pro tip: get there early. This place fills up fast, and for good reason.

The staff or administration does absolutely nothing against the seat-saving culture that plagues this place. I had a plate of food purchased and walked around for 20 minutes like an idiot looking for a table. Tables that I could have sat down to eat my food were being "reserved" by other people who haven't even ordered food yet. So you'll find many tables full of ski gear but otherwise vacant. Customers already with food should have priority, not the other way around. I ended up putting away my plate of UNTOUCHED food on the dishwashing racks.

Delicious garlic rice and curry dishes. Plus, some great views of the slopes.

Great cheap place for food on the slope. Does get quite packed around 12:30

One of the “flagship” eateries in Nozawaonsen Ski Resort, located nearby Nagasaka gondola top station. Tasty, broad selection of food and drinks, crowded as expected on a ski resort.

This place just keeps getting better over the years. With the new gondola station, the first floor has been converted to a large seating area and pizza is served on the first floor while everything else is available on the second floor. Seating used to be a problem during lunch time but with expanded seating it’s much better now. The food is delicious but if you had to try one thing, go for the garlic steak rice. It’s the most popular item for good reason.
