I heard there was more up the hill; we couldn't see much because of some heavy fog on the mountain for most of the day, but snow was involved. Looks like a nice, sunny day out there—good day for a spring ski, or maybe to take in the cherry trees at Takada Castle Park in Joetsu City, just to our north. A couple of nice and increasingly warm days, then some rain and really strong winds possible on Friday (goodbye, you evanescent blossoms). -- Akakura Kanko: 100cm, 1° Myokokogen Sky Cable gondola and Hotel No. 3 lift only Hoping to stay open until May 6 Akakura Onsen: Closed Alpen Blick Resort Closed Myoko Suginohara: Closed Kyukamura RunRun: Closed Seki Onsen: Closed weekdays Tangram Madarao Tokyu Resort: Closed Madarao Mountain Resort: Closed Lotte Arai Resort: 256cm, 7° Gondola and Zendana lift open for sure; Kokenashi might run Hoping to stay open into May Kurohime Kogen Snow Park: Closed Myoko Now 2025-2026 season Data as of Wednesday 8th April 2026 Total snowfall at base so far 1090cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 55 days Most snowfall observed in 1 day 120cm (on 25th January) November 2025 snowfall 35cm reported on 1 day December 2025 snowfall 184cm reported on 11 days January 2026 snowfall 646cm reported on 24 days February 2026 snowfall 202cm reported on 12 days March 2026 snowfall 21cm reported on 6 days April 2026 snowfall 2cm reported on 1 day Previous report Next report All snowfall data presented on this page is the snowfall measured and observed at base/town level by our reporter based in Myoko.

I actually saw a few whiffs of snow falling when I got up this morning, so it appears that a bit fell up on top. Humorously, the resort reports zero, but the ski patrol report says the new snow was covering the bushes, so be careful! Fairly windy, so gonna feel a bit cool. Just checked the conditions up at Asahidake for kicks, and it's -8 C, with a wind speed of 50/km/h! That puts the wind chill at a frosty -19 C! Spring anyone? Gonna be even windier tomorrow, followed by two days of r@!n, finally getting sunny on Sunday. Think fun.
