NOJIRI / MADARAO
Nojiri / Madarao
Nojiriko is a mountain lake which provides inspiration and is perfect for water sports — sailing, wind surfing, swimming and wake boarding, etc — in the spring and summer and snow sports. It maintains its old Japan feeling while being a vibrant international resort community.
Madarao is famed for winter sports and mountain trails. People come from around the world to enjoy this beautiful, energizing, inspiring spot.
In the larger Nagano/Niigata area, many traditional Japanese arts and crafts are a vital part of life — for example, indigo dying, tile making and kimono making. This mix of internationality and traditional and natural beauty is why the setting is perfect for NoMaFo.
