More bus-loads of enthusiastic visitors headed to Nozawa Onsen.

A hot tip at the Iiyama shinkansen station:
Right next door to the Nozawa Onsen Liner bus stop is TSURUYA market (the yellow & green building in the background). It's a nice supermarket for stocking up on tasty eats and drinks.

"Nozawa Onsen earns the top mention in our list of Asia’s best ski resorts because it delivers on so many levels...one of the most adored ski towns in Japan – packed with character, culture and more than 30 traditional onsen (natural hotsprings). Skiers and snowboarders visit for the snow (an average of 12 metres a season); they return for everything else."

Our Shangri-la was Nozawa-Onsen, a tiny village in Japan’s Nagano Prefecture, known for Olympic-level skiing, abundant natural hot springs, and such a deep love of its own produce that its mascot is a Nozawana cabbage on skis.

In Japan's Nagano Prefecture, the pro slopes compete with world-class food and hot springs that are so enticing Alexandra Marshall skips the lifts entirely.
