West Village Accommodation

There is a good variety of Nozawa Onsen accommodation in this area, and there are various streets that are aesthetically appealing, with traditional Japanese architecture and some of the best onsen in Nozawa. This zone is located about 5-10 minutes walk to/from the main village up/down a moderately steep incline. There are some nice restaurants and bars in the west village, so heading into the central village each evening isn't essential. To access the slopes you can head up to the Hikage Gondola via the Yu road walkway which is a 10 - 15 minute walk. There is an option to leave skis overnight at the Hikage base area so this can make the walk a little easier.
