Nozawa Onsen ski trip | 5 Things to do | Japan travel vlog

Hi, if you’re looking to visit Nozawa Onsen and would like food recommendations, this video is packed full of them! This was our very first ski trip in Japan and we spent 5 days in the village staying with family.
Below are some things you may want to do if you visit. Though not captured in this video, we recommend visiting a few more public hot spring baths. There are over 10 bath houses in the village and they are a wonderful way to relax after a day on the slopes.

Thanks for the compliment! Really appreciate it coming from someone that has made so many videos 😊

Thanks for the video!!! Can you go there for a 2 day 1 night trip? Do they offer tour packages?

[@Ko_Abroad]

Hi, if you’re not planning to ski or snowboard a 2 day 1 night trip would work great. The most popular short tour packages I saw on offer there were for snow monkey visits. There is a tourist information centre at Liyama station which features more recommended activities to do in the various towns in the area including Nozawaonsen.

When exactly did you visit Nozawa Onsen? When was it snowing?.

[@Ko_Abroad]

Hi, we visited exactly this time last year and it was snowing on most days we were there ❄️

Can you use the public onsen if you have tattoos? I've heard some don't allow if you have tattoos

[@Ko_Abroad]

Hi, I’m not sure. There are signs on etiquette and rules in the onsens so you can pop in to have a look at those. Alternatively, there are outdoor open air baths at SPArena where you can enter with a swimsuit.

Helo thank you for the video it’s really lovely ❤ I also have a question at 2:37 which lane in the nozawa skii is that because I wanna take a picture there😅😊

[@Ko_Abroad]

Hi! That is towards the end of the Rinkan run ☺️ it’s beautiful isn’t it?

[@JD-el3ot]

Hi. Im from tropical country and never seen snow before. Is this place suitable for beginners?

[@Ko_Abroad]

Hi, yes it is. There is a school that offers ski/snowboarding lessons in English to help you get started as well.

[@sisaket33]

Is there a restaurant at the top next to the gondola station (for non skiers who want to simply enjoy the view)?

[@Ko_Abroad]

Hi, there are restaurants around the top of Hikage gondola and we did see some dog walkers around the Paradise area where there are quite a few restaurants too.

[@user-ek6ig3ds5i]

Nice to meet you. This is "Fumi Channel. I introduce various fun things to do in Japan in my videos! Your videos are very nice too! I love it!

[@Ko_Abroad]

Nice to meet you too! Thanks for appreciating our videos ☺️

[@nikkafatima9637]

Do you mind sharing where you stayed?

[@Ko_Abroad]

Hi, I stayed at a relative’s house within the village. As the village is not that big, as long as you are staying near one of the onsens, most places should be within walkable distance 😊 hope that still helps!

[@Ko_Abroad]

@@muhammadherjuno5565 Hi, I would recommend having a look on Google Hotels if you’re struggling to find a place through a specific booking website :) good luck with the accommodation search

[@muhammadherjuno5565]

[@finnisveryugly]

I’ve never skied before, but im going with my family soon and i was wondering if you book entry to the ski place or just pay for the lift?

[@Ko_Abroad]

Hi, we bought a multi day lift pass from the ticket counter at Nagasaka Gondola station which you can also buy online in advance. If you have not skied before we highly recommend booking ski lessons, you can do this online in advance and may not need to get a lift pass depending on the type of lesson you are taking. Wishing you a super fun visit! 😊
