Nozawaonsen

The terrain of Nozawaonsen runs from the forested slopes of Mount Kenashi on its western side to rice-growing ground toward the Chikuma River valley in the east, giving this northern Nagano settlement a distinctly vertical setting. The village is one of Japan’s established hot-spring destinations, with mineral water flowing through a network of public bathhouses known as soto-yu; Ōyu, in the centre, is its best-known communal bath. Winter sport is central to local life, while warmer months reveal farms, cedar-covered hillsides and lanes built around the onsen district. Local food culture includes nozawana, a leafy vegetable commonly pickled in the region. Browse additional webcams from northern Nagano to extend your view of Nozawaonsen.
