🚡Gondola is back to daily rides🚡 🍁 The N 🚡Gondola is back to daily rides🚡

🍁 The Nagasaka Gondola at Nozawa Onsen Ski Resort resumed daily operations yesterday.
Every October, the mountains of Nozawa Onsen are painted with stunning autumn colours like those in the photo.

The gondola runs until Sunday, 26th October for the summer season.

It takes about 8 minutes from the base at Nagasaka Gondola Station to the summit at Uenotaira Station.
From the gondola, you can enjoy panoramic views over Nozawa Onsen Village, Kijimadaira, and Iiyama City.

🌾 Those rice fields have turned a beautiful golden colour as harvest time approaches.
Uenotaira, the summit station, is at a higher altitude and is said to be around 10°C cooler than the village.
While Uenotaira is still lush and green, the leaves on the trees are slowly starting to change colour, quietly welcoming the autumn season.

The Uenotaira Picnic Garden is full of colourful flowers and is a perfect spot for a stroll or a picnic.
There’s also a mountain bike trail, with all equipment available for hire.

For lunch or a break at the top, we recommend “Kitchen Seavus.”
Dine in or take your meal outside to enjoy the fresh mountain air.

Enjoy a leisurely time in the crisp, clear air and refreshing breeze of the highlands.
Come and experience the natural seasonal changes in Nozawa Onsen Village.

For more details, please visit Nozawa Onsen Ski Resort’s instagram (@nozawaski).

Nagasaka Gondola Details
Operating Hours: 9:00 am – 4:00 pm (last descent at 4:30 pm), until 26 October

山頂でのランチやひと休みには、キッチン・セアボスがおすすめです。

🌾 Early Autumn in Nozawa Onsen 🌾 Autumn ha 🌾 Early Autumn in Nozawa Onsen 🌾 

Autumn has already made its mark here in Nozawa Onsen. 
The rice fields are now golden, ready for harvest, and the evenings have turned cool—often dropping below 20°C. Days can still reach 25°C, so you’ll feel summer sunshine in the daytime, and a refreshing chill once the sun goes down. 

The change is clear in the air and the scenery. Mountains that were deep green in August are softer now, touched with early autumn colours. Soon, the leaves will start to turn, and the landscape will shift again as autumn deepens. 
The sound of insects at night replaces the buzz of summer, and the clear sky brings crisp stars overhead. 

🌾 野沢温泉村の初秋 🌾 

野沢温泉村では、もうすっかり秋の気配が感じられます。 
田んぼは黄金色に色づき、稲刈りを迎える時期となりました。夕方は20度を下回ることもあり、日中は25度前後とまだ暖かいですが、日が沈むと爽やかな涼しさを感じます。 

景色や空気の変化もはっきりしています。8月に濃い緑だった山も落ち着いた緑色に変わり、これから少しずつ紅葉も始まっていきます。
夜に賑やかだった虫の声も少しずつ減り、星もより鮮明に見ることができます。

🏮Yuzawa Shine Ceremony - 湯澤神社例祭⛩️

The annual ceremony at Yuzawa Shrine in Nozawa Onsen was held again this year on 8th and 9th of September.

For two days, the village is wrapped in a ceremony atmosphere. 
The sounds of Taiko(Japanese drums) and flutes echo through the streets, while Chochin提灯 (ちょうちん、Japanese lanterns) light the paths. 
With performances by Tengu and Shishi the lion dancers, fireworks, and the mikoshi 神輿(みこし) procession, the entire village comes together to celebrate.

💡Japanese ceremonies are filled with prayers and gratitude — for a good harvest, for the birth and healthy growth of children, and for protection from illness and disasters.
They are also a time for the community to come together, to pass down important skills and traditions to the next generation.

🌾In Nozawa Onsen Village, two major ceremonies are held on the same dates each year:  the Dōsojin Fire Ceremony on January 15th, and the Yuzawa Shrine Ceremony on September 8th and 9th. 

Please come and check this out in here Nozawa Onsen♨️

野沢温泉村、湯澤神社の例祭が、今年も9月8日と9日に執り行われました。

野沢温泉村が、お祭りの空気に包まれる二日間。
村には太鼓と笛の音が響き、提灯のあかりが通りを照らします。天狗と獅子舞の舞、お神輿、花火、村中の人が一体となってお祭りを盛り上げます。

💡お祭りには、豊作を祈り感謝する気持ちや、子どもの誕生や成長を願う思い、病や災いを避ける祈りが込められています。
また、人々が協力し、大切な技術や知恵を次の世代へ伝えていく役割も担っています。

🌾野沢温泉村では、毎年二回、1月15日と9月8・9日に、道祖神祭りと湯澤神社例祭がそれぞれ執り行われます。
🚴‍♂️ Bike Touring Japan – A Stop in Noz 🚴‍♂️ Bike Touring Japan – A Stop in Nozawa Onsen 🏔️♨️

After a day of climbing winding passes or cruising along rice fields, rolling into Nozawa Onsen feels like discovering an oasis. 
The village is famous for its 13 free public hot spring baths, perfect for soaking tired legs and reviving your spirit. 
Nothing beats easing into steaming mineral water while the mountain air cools your face.

Accommodation here ranges from traditional ryokan to friendly lodges like Villa Nozawa or Nozawa Holidays, where cyclists can find comfortable rooms, hearty meals, and a warm welcome. 
The village is compact, bike-friendly, and has plenty of great food options – from soba noodles to local craft beer.

Cyclists love Nozawa for more than the onsen. The surrounding area offers spectacular riding:

Challenging climbs over the Shiga Kogen and Madarao ranges

Scenic routes along the Chikuma River

Remote farm villages, rice terraces, and seasonal colors that change from lush green to fiery red in autumn

Whether you’re tackling a multi-day tour across Nagano or just adding a few days of mountain riding into your Japan adventure, Nozawa Onsen is a stop that combines recovery, culture, and unforgettable views.
