Mountain Bike Event Japan Rent a whole Mountain Bike Course for you and your friends in Nozawa A while ago we talked about the possibility to rent your own Ski Resort at Togari across the valley for 60,000 yen for the night skiing.

Best Accommodation Nozawa Onsen
Best Accommodation Nozawa Onsen Who is ready to make some tracks? A terrific quote from the late great travelling chef Anthony Bourdain. “If I’m an advocate for anything, it’s to move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. Walk in someone else’s shoes or at least eat their food. It’s a plus for everybody.” Great to see the world is starting to open up again and people are exploring it. Bet many of you cannot wait to cross the ocean to Japan and eat some of the amazing local food, soak in an Onsen and make some sweet turns in the world class powder. Bookings are going well for […]
Hiking Tours Nozawa Japan
Hiking Tours Nozawa Japan Climb Mt Fuji or any of the other amazing peaks in Japan Hiking Tours Nozawa Japan Summer is definitely here in Japan and some warm days with the mercury already heading above 30 degrees Celsius. Great time to escape to the mountains and get up high to some cooler breezes. Many may know but for every 100m you go up the temp drops by on average 1 degree. So even in Nozawa it is set to hit 31 degrees in town tomorrow but up at Yamabiko it will be 21 degrees. Good news is the Nagasaka Gondola opens this Saturday too, so you don’t even need to walk to the top to cool down. So with […]
Lake Nojiri Nozawa Onsen
Lake Nojiri Nozawa Onsen A Day at the Lake Lake Nojri or Nojiriko is a good size lake only 45 minutes drive from Nozawa or we often ride and takes about 2 hours then you really feel like a swim when get there. It is a great little day trip from Nozawa year round and especially good in Summer when you can enjoy all the water sports. The lake has a bit of a feel of a mountain resort lake with Holiday homes and little cafes dotted around the shores of the lakes. Personal favourite is Funagoya Italian with magic views across the lake and delicious Gnocchi. The Lamp is also a pretty cool set up and can rent Sups […]
Japan Open Overseas Tourists
Japan Open Overseas Tourists The question is when, not if any more, after 2 years of basically closed borders Japan is getting ready to welcome back all the amazing overseas tourists to its shores. The question remains when and that is a $37 Billion question. Apparently the amount tourists were pumping into the economy before the start of the Corona Pandemic. So you can bet the government and many of the businesses that rely on that income are keen to see the welcome gates flung open again. Note the following thoughts are my own research. Japan Open Overseas Tourists Japan on Friday resumed visa procedures to accept foreign tourists, taking the first step toward increasing inbound tourism after two years […]

The hiking season is beginning in Japan
The hiking season is beginning in Japan Hiking on a clear day at Mount Nakakura. It was a wonderful ridge walk with pink flowers called Akayashio in bloom in May. Mount Nakakura is one of the mountains within Ashio Copper Mine in Nikko, Tochigi. Unfortunately this mine is also known for the mining poisoning incident, which is considered to be the origin of Japan’s pollution problems. This mine was closed in 1973, but thanks to the efforts of the people, the area is now green again and is one of the popular mountains in the Nikko area with climbers.
