What other travelers are saying about Nozawa Onsen Ski Resort
Super fun resort with lots to explore! Very beginner friendly as you can take greens all the way down from the new gondola (through rinkai). There’s a lot of flat portions so you might get stuck a couple times if snowboarding. Take the opposite route for the famous skyline route (mostly reds).
It also seemed very family friendly with lots of activities for kids!
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.

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).
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.
