Posted on Saturday 21st February 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Good morning from Yuzawa and, as expected, we have beautiful clear blue skies and sunshine from early on.
Yesterday we ended up with quite a bit of cloud around, but it generally remained bright.
On to this weekend. It is going to be a very bright and sunny weekend... and warm. Today the temps are expected to get up to around 10C in town; and then up to around 14C tomorrow. (!)
With Monday being a national holiday (the Emperor's Birthday), it's a 3-day weekend for many in Japan, and ski areas will probably get very busy.
I hope you can enjoy the weekend, and let's all collectively hope for a cool-down next week.
