Happy New Year from Nozawa Onsen!
I wish you all well for 2025.
We start with snowy skies and another 10-15cm of fresh snow.
The snow clouds might retreat later on today with a chance of some sun later on. It should be back snowing again tomorrow.
The same kind of pattern looks likely over the coming week, and that regular snowfall with top-ups and sunshine at times sounds like a fine pattern.
