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


New snowfall at base 0cm
Snowfall at base this season 886cm

Posted on Monday 6th May 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.


Good morning from Nozawa.


After a warm and sunny day yesterday today won't be quite as warm and we are still expecting some rain later on, though we start the day with some sunshine and some blue sky.


On this last day of the season the upper areas of Nozawa remain open. If you compare the webcam images from this time last year you can clearly see that there's more snow still left now than there was last year.


This is the Nozawa Now report of the season. The next one will be sometime in November when it all starts again!


I hope you enjoyed the season - both in actually coming to Nozawa and reading my daily updates. Remember you can always relive the season, along with previous seasons, using the archive reports which are always there.


Thanks for reading and have a fun summer.


And... see you in November!
