Nozawa Onsen Village Hotel Test

📍Location: Nozawa Onsen Grand Hotel This trip, starting from Myoko Plateau, has been skiing for three days, then drove 45 minutes to Nozawa Onsen to try out the different snowy atmosphere. There is not only a beautiful ski resort, but also authentic Japanese hot spring culture, most importantly, when booking did not know January 15th was the Taoist God Fire Festival, no wonder the holiday high upgrade and room tight, fit really super lucky. On the last day, after skiing, I drove 1 hour back to Nagano Station, then took the 3-hour Shinkansen down to Nagoya. Before leaving, I had a bowl of hot soba noodles on the station platform, perfect ❤️. ✨ Hotel features The hotel is in a great location, not far from a ski resort or a spa street. Staying here in the winter is really enjoyable, chilling at night while soaking in the hot springs and looking at the snowy scenery! After foaming, the person is loose. The room type I booked has a separate bathroom, so it's okay not to like big baths. 🛎️ Day 1 – After skiing in Myoko Plateau straight down to Nozawa Onsen After three days of snow skiing in Myoko, it’s a 45-minute drive straight down to Nozawa Onsen, with beautiful snowy scenery along the way. After arriving at the hotel check-in, the first thing to do is go to the large bath to soak in a hot soup to wash away the fatigue. At night, I went out for a walk on the hot spring street. I didn't know that I thought I was in Australia. The whole town was full of foreigners. Anyway, walking around found a lot of bars that had to try local snacks such as onsen buns, nozawa vegetables and authentic hand-beaten soba noodles to warm up. 🛎️ Day 2 – Skiing & night fire festival is super shocking After breakfast at the hotel, we immediately left for Nozawa Ski Resort. The snow trails here are long enough, the terrain is rich, and you can still look at the entire hot spring street while slipping. In the afternoon, return to the hotel for several hot spring baths to relax your muscles and prepare for the most important event of the night, the Daozu God Fire Festival. After the fire festival started, the villagers rushed towards the wooden pagoda with torches. 42-year-old and 25-year-old "bad year men" were responsible for guarding the pagoda. The scene was super crazy! The blazing flames burned red into a patch of snow, the atmosphere was so high that even the foreign tourists next to it could see their mouths wide open! 🛎️ Day 3 – Nagano down to Nagoya, last supper After soaking in the hot springs, check out early in the morning for skiing, finish skiing, pack your bags, drive straight from the ski resort back to Nagano, then take the 3 hour train ride down to Nagoya. Arriving at night, already extremely tired, before boarding the platform to find a soba noodle shop, before boarding the hot soup noodles, simple but most heartwarming. 🍽️ Breakfast & Dinner (one night two meals) 🔹 Breakfast (buffet): There are Western and Japanese options, Nozawa, miso soup, grilled fish are quite good. 🔹 Dinner (Meeting): Japanese kaiseki cuisine, including sashimi, wagyu beef, tempura, etc., exquisitely presented, the taste is not lost. 💗 Check-in experience 🔹Ski + hot spring combo, perfect journey combination! 🔹The hotel hot spring has a private bath in the open air, although it snows heavily, but it is great. 🔹The Fire Festival is shocking, you must see it if you have the chance! #Nozawa Onsen Grand Hotel #NozawaOnsen #Japanskiing #Skiing and Hot Springs #道祖神火祭 #wintertravel #ski accommodation #hot spring bath #Driving Japan #Japanese Inn #hot springstreet walk #Travel Recommendations #Snow scenery #skiholidays #Relaxation Journey
