Autumn is slowly losing the battle with Winter in Autumn is slowly losing the battle with Winter in Nozawa  Nozawa Onsen Snow Report – November 22, 2025
❄ Another fresh top-up overnight!
Nozawa woke to a beautiful sight again this morning — another nice little dump of fresh snow up on the upper mountain. The peaks are looking whiter by the day, and with the cooler temps settling in, the long-term outlook is really starting to take shape. Winter is slowly but surely locking in, and the mountain crews are gearing up for a strong season ahead.  No fresh snow in the village itself, but you can definitely feel that crisp winter bite in the air. Up top, the snow base is steadily building, and if this pattern continues, we could see some excellent early-season conditions before long.  If you’re planning a trip, now’s the perfect time to book your ski and snowboard rentals.
Nozawa Central Rentals has you covered with a great range of quality gear, knowledgeable rental technicians, and even a ski locker right on the slopes for maximum convenience.
Secure your setup here:
👉 https://www.nozawaholidays.com/ski-gear-clothing-hire/
The forecast looks sunny the next few days with a bot of snow expected Tuesday Night then regular top ups every few days. The resort should most likely open in a week! Saturday the 29th could see Yamabiko at least ready to roll.
Nozawa Onsen Snow Report – November 20, 2025
❄ Fir Nozawa Onsen Snow Report – November 20, 2025
❄ First report of the season!
Winter is officially making its debut in Nozawa Onsen! The village saw its first snow yesterday, dusting rooftops, streets, and trees with a delicate white coating. The whole scene is pure postcard material — perfect for an early-season stroll with a warm drink in hand.
🏔 Mountain Conditions:
Up on the slopes, the snowfall has been even more generous. Higher elevations are now blanketed with around 30cm of fresh early-season powder, and a few keen locals have already hiked up to sneak in some pre-season turns.
It’s another picture-perfect morning up there today. Check out the webcams — they’ll make you want to head up and dive in:
https://nozawa-onsen.com/nozawa-webcams/
The resort has announced it plans to run the Gondola from November 29th, snow or not. With a decent base now set and more snow expected around the 26th, there’s a real chance lifts could be rolling on the last weekend of November. Stay tuned.

Autumn to Winter in Nozawa Onsen
Are we ready for 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? ❄️  Check out more on Autumn in Nozawa here; https://www.nozawaholidays.com/nozawa-onsen-summer/autumn-travel-nozawa-japan/  Slide for Autumn highlights.  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? ❄️
Getting to Nozawa Onsen: The Best and Easiest Ways Getting to Nozawa Onsen: The Best and Easiest Ways to Travel and get on these lifts with ease.  Heading to Nozawa Onsen this winter? Here are the easiest and safest ways to get here so you can start enjoying the snow as soon as possible.
🚐 Take the Snow Shuttle 
The most convenient option is the Snow Shuttle from Narita or Haneda Airports. It runs direct from the airport to Nozawa Onsen, no stress, and no dragging your luggage through stations. It’s reliable, comfortable, and gets you right to the village. Book on the Nozawa Holidays site here; https://www.nozawaholidays.com/shuttle-bus/  🚆 Train Travel
The train is another excellent way to reach Nozawa. Take the Hokuriku Shinkansen to Iiyama Station, then hop on the local bus straight to the village. Fast, scenic, and easy—perfect for visitors wanting a smooth trip.  🚗 Avoid Driving If You Can
We don’t recommend driving to Nozawa in winter. Roads can be dangerous with heavy snow, and parking in the village is extremely limited. You truly don’t need a car once you’re here.  🚶 Walk Everywhere in the Village
One of the best things about Nozawa Onsen is its walkability. Everything—restaurants, onsens, lifts, shops, cafés—is a stroll away. A car just becomes a hassle you won’t use.  Whether you take the shuttle or the train, getting to Nozawa is easy. Leave the car behind, relax, and enjoy the ride—your holiday starts the moment you’re on your way.
We look forward to seeing you. More info here; https://www.nozawaholidays.com/getting-to-nozawa-onsen/
Are we in for a big snow season ahead in Nozawa? Are we in for a big snow season ahead in Nozawa?  Who knows :) Always hard to tell this early but things are starting to shape up for an early start again this year. 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 to village level. Slide to see the forecast.  Fingers crossed this is the start of a great season ahead and that the resort can open on the hopeful schedule of November 29th 
See more about season opening here; https://www.nozawaholidays.com/nozawa-onsen-skiing/nozawa-ski-open-date/  Enjoy the Autumn hikes while you can! ☃️  これから大きなシーズンになりそうですか?
誰にもわかりませんね :) まだ早すぎて予想は難しいですが、今年も早いスタートになりそうな雰囲気です。カメラをチェックしてみてください。今朝は上の方がきれいな雪景色になっていて、昨晩で約10cm積もったようです。
https://nozawa-onsen.com/nozawa-webcams/
野沢温泉の上部で今シーズン3度目の降雪になりました — 地元の人たちが言うには、山の上で3回雪が降ると、次はだいたい里まで雪が降るそうです!
来週の月曜と火曜には大量の降雪が予想されており、里まで雪が降る見込みです。スライドして予報をご覧ください。
このまま素晴らしいシーズンのスタートになり、希望通り11月29日のオープンが実現することを願っています.
