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


New snowfall at base 4cm
Snowfall at base this season 41cm

Posted on Friday 16th December 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Moderate snowfall at the moment (nice big flakes too) and generally poor visibility with cold conditions. This should continue through the day.


If we do get more snow today, I am guessing that more lifts might be open for the weekend. I can't find any confirmed news on that for the moment, though, so it remains my guess.


Forecasts show snow clouds over the region through Monday and perhaps heavy snow at times.
