Independent snow and weather reporting from the Shiga Kogen region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 14cm
Snowfall at base this season 236cm

Posted on Saturday 13th January 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


There wasn't perhaps as much snow as we thought there might be overnight (Yakebitaiyama reported 10cm early morning and Kumanoyu reported 15cm) but it is snowing quite heavily at the time of this report.


It's a cold morning and if you are good braving the weather, very fine snow conditions await. More snow is due until late today.


There will be a break in the snow tomorrow before it comes back on Monday.
