Description

Nozawa Onsen is a charming Onsen (hot spring) town near Nagano, famous for the high quality of powder snow, tree runs and backcountry skiing.

It was the site for biathlon competition during the Nagano Olympics in 1998.

There are 13 onsens open to the public in the town as well as numerous ryokans and pensions. Its sister city is St Anton in Austria.

This traditional Japanese onsen town is easily accessible from Tokyo via Hokuriku shinkansen. So I propose you to take the shinkansen to Iiyama station and I will pick you up there.

I can adapt this trip to suit your needs: you can stay for 2 or several days and choose between different routes in terms of difficulty, steepness, fitness level etc., if you want to climb up a little bit or not.

Join me to enjoy freeride skiing in the best Japanese areas and the authentic après ski experience! Send a request so we can start planning this together, according to your wishes and experience level.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
