This paper examines the relationship between the formation of internationally renowned resorts and cross-cultural exchange at Nozawa Onsen. In order to become a successful, internationally renowned ski resort, what efforts did Nozawa Onsen consciously make for "internationalization," and how did they attempt to build relationships with the "overseas?" In other words, what specific efforts were made to interact with different cultures? I identify the discourses which illustrate the relationship between the formation of the international resort and cross-cultural exchange using Nozawa's public relations magazine from 1971 to 2019 to elicit two categories-ski exchange and cultural exchange-for analysis.
