Nozawa Onsen might have been the highlight of our recent honeymoon trip to Japan. We spent 12 nights total in Japan, with 2 in Nozawa.

We spent one week there and loved the place. Everything is clean and in order. Good ski room and location. Every morning you get free breakfast, sometimes it's pancakes and sometimes it's bacon and eggs. Free cereals, milk, tea and coffee. Some evening free tasting, sake wine etc. Don't expect luxury, you go there for skiing. Special thanks to Luke... More
