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

Snowfall at base this season 240cm

Posted on Thursday 2nd January 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Clearer skies and mild conditions in the afternoon yesterday. It made for a pleasant time out on the mountains. (Many people were probably not bothered by it, but it was a bit warmer than we would like).


It is still not particularly cold (relatively) but light snow is falling this morning.


Colder conditions over the next few days, with hopefully some fresh topups too.


Sunday and Monday are currently forecast to have a good chance of clearer skies and sunshine.
