Uonuma City Tourism Association

Uonuma City is one of Japan's snowiest areas, and the deep forests and mountain ranges that make up about 84% of the city's total area are covered in deep snow for nearly half the year. It is a region blessed with harsh yet beautiful nature. In spring, the deep snow melts, embraced by the deep forests and mountain ranges, seeps into the ground, and over a long period of time emerges as spring water. This water is a precious source of water that nourishes all life and the earth. Uonuma City offers a tour of the nature, culture, and flavors that this abundant water nurtures.
