Posted on Saturday 28th February 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
Morning from Nozawa Onsen.
After some nice weather yesterday, this morning we start with cloudy/foggy conditions and a bit of a damp feel. As of 7:15am, the ski area is reporting cloud/fog on the official site.
We can probably expect some rain, hopefully some snow up top, during the day. Thankfully it shouldn't be warming up; if anything it will get colder than the current 5-6C.
Clearer weather forecast for tomorrow.
Can't believe it's March tomorrow.
Have a good weekend.
