## The Charm of "Nozawa Onsen Lodge" "Nozawa Onsen Lodge" is a historic building designed in 1969 by architect Takamasa Yoshizaka, who studied under Le Corbusier. Its distinctive green roof and egg-shaped dome architecture catch the eye, and it is located near the Nagasaka Gondola, just a 1-minute walk from the ski slopes. It is highly acclaimed by architecture fans and was registered as a National Registered Tangible Cultural Property in 2024. Currently, it is beloved by many as a lodge where visitors can experience the charm of Nozawa Onsen. In winter, it serves as a base for enjoying a variety of seasonal activities such as skiing and snowboarding; in spring, mountain vegetables; in summer, mountain biking and SUP; and in autumn, mushroom picking, offering unique experiences and memories throughout the year. ## Overview of This Plan This plan is for a limited time from late April to Golden Week. You can enjoy "spring skiing with lingering snow," which signals the end of winter, and cherry blossom viewing from the open terrace of Nozawa Onsen Lodge, which heralds the arrival of spring, in addition to a BBQ and tent sauna. ### "Rokken Shimizu Spring Water and Full Bloom Cherry Blossoms," Best Viewed for a Limited Time from Late April to GW The cherry blossoms in North Shinshu reach full bloom within a two-week period from late April to Golden Week. The cherry tree at Rokken Shimizu, one of Nozawa Onsen Village's famous spots, is no exception. This period is when the countdown to the end of the season begins while enjoying spring skiing on the slopes, and the special experience of witnessing the arrival of spring with the cherry blossoms is a key attraction. Since this cherry tree is located right in front of Nozawa Onsen Lodge, it can be seen from the terrace as well as the free space. The sight of the full-bloom cherry blossoms welcoming you back to the lodge after skiing is also unique to Nozawa Onsen. ### A BBQ on the Nozawa Onsen Lodge Terrace, Filled with Smiles with Family and Friends From April to November, Nozawa Onsen Lodge offers a special, carefully selected BBQ plan. You can enjoy fresh meat and local vegetables in a relaxed atmosphere on the open terrace. We also offer seasonal fruits chilled in Nozawa's spring water and marshmallows for children to enjoy. **-Plan Introduction-** ■ Venue Only: 2,000 JPY per person ■ BBQ Basic Plan Adult: 6,600 JPY (tax incl.) / Child: 3,300 JPY (tax incl.) ■ BBQ All-You-Can-Drink Plan (All-you-can-drink draft beer, draft highball, soft drinks) Adult: 8,500 JPY (tax incl.) *Preschool children can join for free. *Reservations are accepted for 2 or more people. *In case of rain, a hot plate will be provided in the shared space. *Please check the cancellation policy at the time of booking. ### A Tent Sauna to Rejuvenate in a Natural Water Bath Filled with Nozawa Onsen's Snowmelt Spring Water Similar to the BBQ, from April to November, lodge guests can experience an exquisite tent sauna on the terrace. Around April when the snow begins to melt, a large tent sauna that can accommodate four people appears on the open terrace.
