[Photos-Feb 2011] Nozawa Onsen, Shiga Kogen and Zao Onsen


Recommended Posts

Just a few photos of Nozawa Onsen, Shiga Kogen and Zao Onsen.

 

Thanks to SJ as I won some lift tickets to Nozawa Onsen. I wish I had taken more photos of Nozawa Onsen as thanks for the lift tickets but ended up having to much fun to think to take photos (Nozawa was our first stop). Hopefully the photos of the other resorts can make up for it...

 

Nozawa Onsen, 3-6 Feb

This time last year they were gone, but still in decent condition now on the mountain top. With colder temps to remain and some snow you might be ok to see them. Of course, not as good as in peak season..

 

have fun

ceecee,

 

Fab pics, thanks so much for sharing.

 

Nozawa is a great place, the village is one of the nicest places to stay, and the slopes are pretty good too.

Nozawa was a great resort, village was good. Just a pity we went when it was it was a spring like week and missed the massive dumps of fresh powder from the week before.

Shiga had terrain which we enjoyed but there wasn't much to do after a days boarding (but we already had anticiapted this).

Zao was by far the most beautiful resort but quite flat.

Just out of interested ceecee, how did you get from Nagano to Zao?


We went back to Tokyo for the day so Shiga-Nagano Station-Tokyo Station-1day in Tokyo-Tokyo Station-Yamagata Station-Zao Onsen.

Looking at that upper half of the photo

 

Background:

 

Myoko Suginohara > Ikenotaira > Akakura Kanko > Akakura Onsen

 

Foreground:

 

Madarao Kogen Toyota > Madarao Kogen

 

So I would say.... 6, just about.

We boarded mostly on the Kurohime/Omori/Yokukura side of the mountain and enjoyed most parts. We did venture near the other side, but didn't explore it as fully as Kurohime side.
