Hi. My husband and I are visiting Japan in January and would love to stay somewhere snowy for 2 nights of our trip. We donft really care about skiing, just want somewhere beautiful and snowy to stay that is moderately easy to get on public transport.
Does anyone have recommendations of towns or places we could try? I was looking at Nagano but Ifm not sure we would see snow there.

You can also go to Hokkaido or Tohoku for snow. You're not guaranteed snow in January but you have a good chance. I was in Kanazawa in the middle January and for the first two days there was only a dusting of snow on the ground. Then came a storm where flights and trains were cancelled there was so much snow. I could hardly make it to the Lawson a block away to get some food. I also spent one semester break in Nagano when the dorms were closed. There was no snow in the valleys but the mountains were covered. You might have to take a bus up to a high onsen or ski resort even if you don't ski. You take your chances in winter.

http://www.manza.co.jp/mob/manza.phpI highly recommend Manza Onsen Nisshinkan. Stayed here twice, ought to be snow that time of the year, and best of all Bus package from Shinjuku includes accommodation, onsen, and meals ( last time was @ ~11000) would be an offer too hard to refuse.
