Season in!
Yes, I am very happy to be able to bring the good news that Nozawa Onsen will be opening tomorrow morning.
And here are the details:
- The Nagasaka Gondola will be open from 8:30am until 3:30pm.
- The Yamabiko Number 2 quad lift will be open from 8:40am until 3:40pm.
- The Yamabiko D Course (1,250m) will be open.
- A lift ticket will cost 4,400 yen for adults, 2,600 yen for children, and 3,500 yen for seniors.
- Of course, you'll need to get the gondola back down to base.
So there we have it. At last, we can get the season started. :)
For those who are not aware, the Yamabiko D course is the one you can see on the 2nd photo today (below).
And let's hope that the snow taps get turned on mid-week too.
(For the moment, it looks like tomorrow will probably be quite mild. It will be much colder and winter-like from Wednesday...)
