1. 5 Nights Shine-Etsu Trail Hike - Nozawa Onsen | Japan

Alpine Villa Nozawa, 6631 Toyosato, Nozawaonsen, Shimotakai District, Nagano 389-2502, Japan Nozawa Holidays

The 80km Shinetsu trail, the best woodland trail in Japan, runs over the ridges of the Sekida mountains at about 1,000 meters above sea level, forming a boundary between Nagano and Niigata prefectures. It is one of the few long trails in Japan. This area is blessed with a rich ecosystem nurtured by Japanese beech tree forests. Historically, there were 16 passages connecting Nagano with Niigata. The forests are perhaps best known for their beech trees. The tall, well-shaped beech trees form a corridor of nature along the path. The earth-packed trail also makes it easy to walk. Spring (from mid-June to the end of July) and autumn (from mid-September to the end of October) are great seasons to visit the trail. In the spring, the last traces of snow can be seen among new greenery and flowers bursting into bloom. In the fall, hikers can enjoy the brilliant colors of autumn leaves.

Thanks to Nozawa Holidays for booking and arranging our recent trip to Nozawa from January 29 - 9 Feb. It was such an amazing experience. We flew into Haneda and got the Nagano Snow shuttle into Nozawa. Stayed at the Pearl Lodge it was a lovely place and the hosts are beautiful people.

Kouhei Nishida was a superb guide and apparently a brilliant photographer too! We hike to the Hakamadake peak to see best view the eye can meet. I will go again if I have the chance. -Nazrin-
