AGE: Japanese Ski Museum

Nozawa Onsen is known as the birthplace of skiing in Japan, so it hosts a museum about the history of skiing in Japan. We visited the museum this morning. It's actually part of the way up the ski mountain! They had all sorts of memorabilia from different time periods and types of skiing.

The coolest exhibit in the museum was the one about the Olympics, which included a feature about the 1998 Nagano Olympics.

Here are the Olympic medals from 1998.

Nagano also hosted the paralympic games in 1998, and had a section for that as well.
