Check out the cams, looking nice and white up top this morning after what looks like about 10cm up top overnight. https://nozawa-onsen.com/nozawa-webcams/ It’s now snowed for the third time up top in Nozawa Onsen — and as the locals say, when it snows three times on the mountain, the next one usually reaches the village! We’ve got a huge dump forecast for this time next week on Monday and Tuesday, and it’s expected to bring snow right down […]

First Snow Nozawa 2026
First Snow Nozawa 2026 First Snow of the winter for Nozawa Onsen! ❄️ Exciting news — we’ve had our first dusting of snow up top here in Nozawa Onsen! Just a light touch-up as temps hit freezing point yesterday morning. It’s always magical to see the contrast of fresh white snow against the rich autumn colours. Mt Myoko across the valley, sitting a little higher, also received a good blanket — though we haven’t had a proper look yet with the cloud cover. A humble beginning, but after a long, hot summer, it feels great to see winter finally on the way! The ski resort team has been busy preparing the slopes and lifts, and if the snow gods are […]

Demo Day Nozawa Japan
Demo Day Nozawa Japan Demo Day Nozawa Japan Even Powder hounds like some sunshine too. Sorry has been a while between reports enjoying some Spring downtime. Lots happening these last few days in Nozawa with the ever popular ski and board demo day. A great chance to check out all of next seasons new models and soak up some sun and a few beers on the slopes. Today the resort was unfortunately closed due to high winds. Should all be back on again tomorrow though with winds dropping overnight. The spring slush has been fun and fast and can still ski top to bottom on beginner and more advanced runs down the forest trail or challenger. The sun has been […]
Still Snow April Japan
Still Snow April Japan Still Snow April Japan 5cm of fresh snow overnight for Nozawa It’s April and we are still seeing dustings of snow across the top of the resort. Crazy stuff when the Cherry blossoms are in full bloom in Tokyo. Mind you it is still pretty chilly there too. Looking at the web cams and the trees up top are doing the frosty frozen broccoli thing. https://nozawa-onsen.com/nozawa-webcams/ This little top up and the sub zero temps should make for some good skiing across the top of the mountain. The resort is only open down to Paradise anyway so you need to download on the Gondola. Guessing the resort is saving things for the weekend when there […]
Winery Lake Nozawa Japan
Winery Lake Nozawa Japan Winery Lake Nozawa Japan Get ready for a cool change Yesterday we went swimming in nearby Lake Nojiro! It wasn’t a long swim with water temp just below 10 degrees but was refreshing nonetheless. All the snow run off ensuring we knew we were alive! Still a warm morning in Nozawa but get ready for temps to fall drastically later today. Tomorrow morning we should wake up to the minus zone up top and most likely a bit of snow. Really love this time of year exploring nearby towns and mountains and still have the lifts rolling to enjoy the Spring slush on the hill. We also went by the St. Cousair Winery which is an […]

Swipe to see the change. Still some beautiful days on the hill. The snow was fast and fun top to bottom on Monday with the cloud cover. Didn’t get up yesterday but heard was sticky in places under the sunshine. Nice and sunny again today with strong […]
