Residence  Yasushi  

2023-2024 White Season

As the last of the leaves begin to fall and the first snow blankets the village, Nozawa Onsen becomes

a bustle of winter activity.

Unlike the peaceful quality of summer, winter in the village is a magical time filled with packed

restaurants, local events, and winter Matsuri (祭り) The most popular being the Nozawa Onsen Fire

Festival (野沢温泉道祖神火祭り).

At the heart of the village its age-old hot spring, Ogama, bubbles with life even in the coldest

months. Many locals and visitors alike can be seen visiting the different onsen and exploring the

snowy streets for the freshest Oyaki (おやき). Nozawa Onsen, is a gateway to winter adventure,

with its immaculate trails and fresh powder, drawing enthusiasts from around the globe. Days start

early on the slopes, as people head out to enjoy a few hours filled with skiing and snowboarding. For

those less inclined to extreme sports, the village offers a variety of other activities such as

snowshoeing and tours up to the mountains to catch the local snow monkeys playing and bathing in

the springs.

But it's not just the thrill-seekers who are drawn by Nozawa Onsen's winter season. Strolling through

the lantern-lit streets, one can't help but be charmed by the village's serenity. Not only a ski resort

but a valley filled with historical landmarks and natural beauty. A place that offers something for

everyone.

Here at Residence Yasushi, our team will be working hard to prepare our facilities for our guests’

own winter experiences. We look forward to welcoming you this winter season.
