Autumn Winter Transition Nozawa

Autumn to Winter in Nozawa Onsen
Are we ready for the transition?

There’s always a magical moment in Nozawa Onsen when the colours of autumn begin to fade and the first real breath of winter rolls down from the peaks. It looks like we may get a short flash of that moment from tomorrow night.

The village has been glowing in reds and golds all week — but from tomorrow evening, we could see a brief seasonal shift. Forecasts are calling for a big 60cm dump up top, with snow expected to fall right down to the village by lunchtime Tuesday. The mountains are about to trade their autumn jacket for a full winter coat. Looking at the longer range, we might even see a little more on Friday night — though I don’t think true winter is quite ready to settle in just yet.

The real question is whether this dump, combined with some snowmaking, will be enough for the resort to open on the 29th. It’s going to be borderline, with sunshine and slightly warmer temps forecast just before opening day. We’ll have to wait and see.

Either way, winter is coming fast. Most locals are secretly hoping for a bit more time — there’s still plenty to prepare.
But ready or not… winter is knocking.
Should we let her in? ❄️

野沢温泉の秋から冬へ
冬の気配、もうすぐ。

紅葉が美しく染まった村も、明日夜から一気に季節が変わりそうです。予報では山頂で約60cmの降雪、火曜の昼頃には村まで雪が降りてくる見込み。秋の色から一気に冬の白へ。

29日のオープンに十分な積雪になるかは微妙ですが、冬は確実に近づいています。まだ準備に追われる人も多いけれど…
冬がノックしています。迎え入れる準備はできていますか？ ❄️
