A bit wet at the moment. Yes, rain is falling, even on the mountain today. Kagura is saying that it is snow up top, but I would guess rather wet snow and it is definitely raining in the Mitsumata area. Still fairly cold though.

There are some winds as well today and because of those only the Mitsumata Ropeway is running today - Tashiro is closed. The area open is from Mitsumtata up to the main quad at Kagura.

It's worth mentioning that the course down from Mitsumata to the car park there is now closed for the season so you need to get the Ropeway back down to the base now.

More rainy conditions are forecast for tomorrow and perhaps chances of rain into Saturday with finer weather currently forecast for Sunday.

We will post Naeba Now weather update reports a few times a week until the end of the season at Kagura. The Yuzawa Now report will continue to be updated on a mostly daily basis - including any information on Kagura as well - so please keep an eye on that report as well for the most up-to-date information.

The Tashiro part of Kagura plans to be open until Wednesday 5th May.

The main Kagura area, via Mitsumata Ropeway, plans to be open through until Sunday 23rd May.
