What a gorgeous snow village Nozawa was. Plenty of food around and all the Japanese people were so friendly and helpful. Not all speak English but they make an effort to understand your needs. The Onsen's are a must. The best experience I've had, especially after a day's skiing your body is sore and then you have an Onsen and... More

Small, still unaffected by foreign tourists, quaint More
