Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 0cm
Snowfall at base this season 423cm

Posted on Saturday 19th April 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.


We were expecting sun this morning but to start the day off there's lots of cloud, it's rather dull and actually poor visibility up on the mountains by the looks of the webcams.


Forecasts still say it's sun for the day, so perhaps it will clear up this morning. High temps or around 10C expected. Mixed forecasts for tomorrow as well with some telling us to expect some rain, others not. They agree that it will probably be warmer tomorrow though.

No sakura to report yet!
