Overview

Experience the best snow in Nagano with a companion who has explored this region for over 10 years. Nozawa Onsen is one of Japan's most popular winter destinations — and an incredible playground for snowboarders. Knowing where to go, which runs suit your level, and how to navigate this vast mountain makes all the difference. With the feeling of riding alongside a local friend, I'll use my decade of knowledge as a passionate snowboarder to suggest the best plan for your day on the mountain. Not a guide — a snow buddy. Let's create the best day together. Small groups of maximum 5 people for a relaxed, genuine local experience.
Some areas may not be available.
