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


New snowfall at base 19cm
Snowfall at base this season 557cm

Posted on Friday 3rd March 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


We have fresh snow and sunshine early morning. It should be a really fine morning for people making their way out there.


In the middle of the night Yakebitaiyama were reporting 20cm of fresh snowfall, and Kumanoyu are reporting 15cm.


There's snow on the trees and everywhere is looking beautiful. I have measured just under 20cm and there might be up to 30cm out there in higher elevations. Nice.


More sun is due over the coming days, with a general warming again coming next week.
