Recognize these views? 👀
A few months ago, this road was filled with skiers and snowboarders making their way to the slopes. Now, it's local farmers driving through on their daily rounds.
Just another season around Kaiya Nozawa. It is one of our cozy lodges, located just a short walk from the Nagasaka Gondola.

🌿 Upcoming Summer Event: Takenoko Matsuri (Bamboo Shoot Festival) June 12–21 📍Summer Food Festival in Nozawa Onsen♨️
Held each June in the backstreets behind Kawahara-yu, this local favourite celebrates Nozawa's famous bamboo shoots with food stalls, cold drinks, and traditional performances. It's one of the best ways to experience the village in green season.

The Last Resort…
Yesterday marked the final day of skiing at Yokoteyama & Shibutoge Ski Resort in Shiga Kogen, officially becoming the last resort in the area to close for the season.
Running from November 20, 2025, through to May 17, 2026, Yokoteyama once again proved why it’s famous for having one of the longest ski seasons in Japan — operating for an incredible six months of the year. At 2,307m above sea level, it is also the highest ski resort in Japan, well known for holding snow exceptionally well right through spring.
We were there a few weeks ago and it was definitely spring conditions, but they were still managing top-to-bottom runs, with plenty of park rats hitting the jumps in the terrain park.
Yokoteyama is located in the northern Nagano mountains within the vast Shiga Kogen ski area, around an hour’s drive from Nozawa Onsen and close to the famous Jigokudani Snow Monkey Park.
Thanks to its high elevation and colder temperatures, Yokoteyama often continues operating long after many other Japanese ski resorts have closed for the season. Spring skiing here can still offer surprisingly good snow conditions, incredible mountain views, and quieter slopes.
As winter now gives way to the green season, Shiga Kogen transforms into one of Japan’s most beautiful alpine areas for:
🌿 hiking
🌿 cycling
🌿 scenic drives
🌿 café stops
🌿 stargazing and sea-of-cloud views
Many of these summer activities are already well underway in Nozawa Onsen. It’s a great time to visit and experience a different side of the mountains.
Though, funnily enough, most people already can’t wait for next winter. ⛷️ How about you?

🌿 Spending summer in Nozawa? Don’t miss Lake Hokuryu
Just 10 minutes from Nozawa Onsen, this lake is one of the most peaceful spots in the area. Surrounded by mountains and filled with crystal-clear spring water, it’s the perfect place to slow down and enjoy nature this summer. 🌞

Things to do at the lake:
🛶 Lake Canoe and boat until the end of September
🏄‍♂️SUP tour until mid-October
🦆Lakeside trails
🎣Fishing
🍛 Spice curry and specialty coffee on the break“SPICE BOYZ” .nozawa
⛩️ Bonus stop on the way “Kosuge Shrine” - This shrine is on the way between Nozawa and Lake Hokuryuko, and designated as a National Important Cultural Property of Japan. A quiet forest trail leads from the lower shrine up to the main hall about 1 hour on foot through a breathtaking cedar-lined path, with some trees said to be over 300 years old 🌲

Discover 3 Unique Onsen Stories from Nozawa Onsen 🏔️

1. Hidden Hot Springs Beneath the Streets ♨️❄️
Did you know that beneath the narrow streets of Nozawa Onsen, natural hot spring water flows underground?
In winter, the heat from the onsen helps melt the snow on the roads, a traditional system that has supported village life for generations. Even during heavy snowfall, the warm earth keeps the village moving.

2. The Legend of the Healing Bear 🐻♨️
One legend says that a hunter discovered the healing waters of Kuma-no-Tearai-yu after seeing an injured bear washing its paw in warm water deep in the mountains.
The bear’s wound healed quickly, and people realized the spring had special healing powers. That’s why the bath is called “Kuma-no-Tearai-yu - Bear’s Hand-Washing Hot Spring.”

3. Cooking with Hot Springs 🍳♨️
Hot spring water in Nozawa Onsen isn’t only for bathing it’s also used for cooking. At cooking springs around the village, locals boil eggs and vegetables using natural geothermal heat.
Many of the onsen eggs served at traditional inns in Nozawa Onsen are still freshly cooked in the village’s hot spring water each morning by the inn staff themselves. It’s one of the tastiest ways to experience the power of the onsen.

🎏 Happy Kodomo no Hi from Nozawa Onsen 🇯🇵
Today in Japan we celebrate Children’s Day, a time to wish for the health, happiness, and bright futures of kids everywhere. You’ll see colourful koinobori (carp streamers) flying in the breeze — symbols of strength, courage, and perseverance as they swim upstream.
It’s also a nice reminder for all of us: childhood should be full of adventure, curiosity, and fresh air.
Here in Nozawa Onsen, kids have the perfect playground all year round. From skiing and snow play in winter ❄️ to biking, hiking, exploring nature, and splashing in rivers through the green season 🌿—there’s always something to spark their sense of wonder.
In a world where screens are everywhere, places like this feel more important than ever. Getting outside, getting a little muddy, trying new things, and just being free—those are the moments that stick.
We love it how some kids have been coming and staying with us at Nozawa Holiday for more than 20 Years. Some are even bring their kids now :)
Here’s to raising strong, happy kids and giving them space to explore 🌏
