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


New snowfall at base 2cm
Snowfall at base this season 4cm

Posted on Wednesday 7th December 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.


Morning from Nozawa and this is looking a bit more like it!


Snow has arrived again and the resort yesterday afternoon was reporting 25cm of it up top. Yey! Just a few cm around base areas but things are looking much whiter once again.


It's not snowing right now and some forecasts even tell us that we can expect a bit of sun during the day, but a bit more snow is likely overnight tonight and the forecast for over the weekend is looking promising.


All fingers crossed.


Nozawa Onsen will open as soon as there is enough snow.
