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


New snowfall at base 1cm
Snowfall at base this season 1023cm

Posted on Sunday 9th March 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.


Kind of a dusting plus to report this morning and I can just about justify the 1cm in this report. Currently, it is just under 0C in the village.


It is a cloudy start to the day with what looks like foggy conditions up top. It might well still be snowing up there lightly.


Sunny skies and a warmer day is lined up for tomorrow and Tuesday. (Naski will surely be soaking up the sun rays to top up that green-ness!)


For us, pack sunscreen!
