Independent snow and weather reporting from the Nozawa Onsen region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 0cm
Snowfall at base this season 333cm

Posted on Wednesday 31st January 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.


We had fabulous blue skies across the region yesterday and a very mild +4C mid-afternoon. It was as bright as... a very bright thing. (Perhaps even brighter than the green of Naski!)


And that is pretty much what we are expecting today, too. It perhaps might not be as clear, and there is some cloud early morning, but it is definitely going to be another mild day.


Thursday is still forecast to be colder again with snowfall expected.


See you in February.
