Japan Countryside Vlog | Spring Skiing in Nozawa
*Turn on subtitles 🙂
Japan’s hidden winter magic isn’t over when spring arrives.
In this vlog, we explore the beautiful traditional village of
🏔 野沢温泉 — one of Japan’s most unique countryside destinations where skiing meets culture.
While many think ski season ends in February, spring skiing in Japan is still possible through March and even into May thanks to heavy snowfall and long operating seasons
This trip captures:
❄️ Spring skiing under blue skies
🏡 A historic Japanese mountain village dating back centuries
♨️ Traditional hot spring culture with 13 free public baths
🎿 50km of ski runs suitable for all levels
Located just a few hours from Tokyo, Nozawa Onsen offers a rare mix of:
✔️ Authentic Japanese countryside
✔️ Deep snow & long ski season
✔️ Traditional ryokan & onsen culture
✔️ Fewer crowds during spring
Spring skiing here means:
🌤 Warmer weather
🚠 Shorter lift lines
💸 Discounted lift passes & stays
This is slow travel in Japan at its best.
If you’re planning a Japan trip and want something beyond Tokyo, Kyoto, or Osaka — this is the side of Japan most travelers never see.
