Lifts are operating this morning, with the three at Hirafu and two at Annupuri scheduled to be open.

It's a light grey and overcast kind of morning early on. Rain is expected from tonight and much of tomorrow.

Okushiga Kogen ski area plans to be open today, but today will be the last day of the season over there.

It is cloudy and windy with spots of rain this morning (though that isn't expected to last).

Today the ski area is closed due to the strong winds, and it has announced that yesterday was effectively the last day of the ski season.

It's still windy this morning, but clearer and sunny.

We got through the nasty weather yesterday and the ski area is opening up again this morning.

If you were planning to ski today, looks like a big cancel.

The sun is out and it's a bright morning but we do expect some windy conditions.

The ski area will be closed today, due to strong winds.
