Destacados

- The deep-winter, snow-banked drama unique to a Nagano onsen village
Origen e historia
Officially the Dosojin Matsuri, it is staged each January 15 by village men of the 'unlucky ages' (25 and 42) to pray for a first child, a happy marriage and protection from evil — a roughly 300-year-old rite.
Bueno saber
Stay overnight in Nozawa Onsen — it secures viewing access and lets you soak in the free public baths after a freezing night by the fire.
