This 1-night, 2-day winter experience in Nagano is designed for travelers who want to combine skiing, snow activities, and a truly local onsen stay away from crowded tourist destinations. With a convenient 09:00 pick-up from Iiyama Station, the tour offers a smooth and stress-free journey into one of Nagano’s quieter winter regions.

On the first day, guests are transferred directly to Kitanotenman Onsen Gakumon no Yu, a traditional hot spring inn known for its peaceful atmosphere and strong local character. After check-in or luggage drop, the tour continues to a nearby ski resort where guests can enjoy skiing with a lift ticket included, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced skiers.

In the afternoon, the focus shifts to a guided snowmobile experience near the onsen area. The activity is scheduled before sunset to ensure safe riding conditions and beautiful winter scenery. Due to the limited number of snowmobiles, guests may take turns riding; however, in most cases the tour is operated for a single group, allowing for flexible riding time and a relaxed pace.

The evening is dedicated to unwinding in the onsen and enjoying a traditional Japanese dinner, followed by a quiet night in a non-touristy setting where guests can experience the slower rhythm of rural Nagano. Breakfast is provided the next morning.

On Day 2, after check-out, guests have the option to join an optional snowcat tour, offering access to snowy landscapes that are normally unreachable by standard vehicles. The tour then concludes with a comfortable transfer back to Iiyama Station.

This tour is ideal for couples, families, and small groups looking for an authentic Nagano winter tour, combining skiing, snowmobile riding, hot spring relaxation, and local hospitality in one seamless itinerary. It is especially recommended for travelers seeking a unique alternative to busy ski resorts and mainstream onsen towns.
