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


New snowfall at base 4cm
Snowfall at base this season 1105cm

Posted on Wednesday 23rd March 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


It was cold overnight, but we expect things to warm up quite quickly during the day today, though not too much. Some snow from yesterday morning and no more from overnight.


Early on this morning it was bright but it has started to become duller and now a generally overcast feel.


Friday onwards is still due to warm up a fair bit, and unfortunately we might get even rained on around Saturday; we can only hold on to the hope that it might be cold enough for snow.


Confirmed information is hard to come by but at least Sun Valley, Maruike and Hasuike will be closing at the end of the day on 31st March.
