Nozawa Onsen Weather
Jan 13, 2012

Yesterday was the day over 300cm base, 30cm of fresh, sun was out and the slopes were empty! I got the last Gondola up for the day at 3:30pm and when arrived at the top there were only a handful of people hanging around Yamabiko. Just took the one run down Skyline home and had[…]

White, Red, Green and Gold We woke up to a beauti White, Red, Green and Gold We woke up to a beautiful surprise yesterday morning — 10cm of fresh snow up at Yamabiko in Nozawa! The mountains were glowing in a stunning mix of green, yellow, red, and white — autumn leaves and winter snow competing for attention. 🍁🌲⛄️ Mt Myoko across the valley was also wearing a white dome, always an exciting sight and a sure sign that winter is close! With the new season just around the corner, now’s the perfect time to pre-book your snow services — from ski rentals and lessons to lift passes, monkey tours, and shuttles.
👉 Head to this link to look and book: https://www.nozawaholidays.com/services/ This is already the second snowfall up top in Nozawa this season. The saying in the village goes — “After the third snow on the mountain, it will fall in the village.” Still a little early yet, with no big systems on the radar, so we may have to wait until late November or early December to see snow in town. Most locals aren’t in a hurry though — they’re still busy harvesting the last crops and getting ready for the winter rush ahead. Get ready for another magic season in Nozawa Onsen!
Winter magic awaits in Nozawa but some can’t wai Winter magic awaits in Nozawa but some can’t wait :) Local gun skier Shogo Kawano has done it again this year — first tracks of the ski season in Nozawa Onsen! Very marginal conditions with the dusting the other day but it was all he needed to be the first to get up there and make a turn or two. Temps have been up and down a bit with some chilly days and some nice Autumn warmth when the sun comes out. The forecast is looking interesting — around 15cm of fresh snow expected tomorrow for the top, and with the Ocean still warm, we could be in for some heavy early-season falls thanks to that lake-effect magic, ❄️🌊 have to wait and see. Some nice low pressure systems pushing in some good swell over the weekend. The Million Yen question that we often get asked. When will the Nozawa Onsen Ski Resort Open? The Ski resort will usually try and open on the last weekend of November if there is enough snow or it is cold enough for snow making as we have the Snow Making Machines now. But after 30 years of snow seasons in Nozawa all I can tell you is it varies. On average I would say it opens around December 10th. Some years earlier some later. Check out more details here; https://www.nozawaholidays.com/nozawa-onsen-skiing/nozawa-ski-open-date/ Winter is knocking — time to wax up and get ready for another epic season in Nozawa! ⛷️🏂 Photo by https://www.facebook.com/shogo.kawano.7 Arigatou
First Snow of the winter for Nozawa Onsen! ❄️ 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 kind, we could actually open in exactly one month from today — November 29th. Fingers crossed, and feel free to start your best snow dance. 🕺 Now’s the time to lock in your snow services for the coming season — everything from ski lessons and rentals to transfers and lift passes.
⏰ Busy periods are already filling fast, so make sure you don’t miss out! 👉 Book here: https://www.nozawaholidays.com/services/ Let the countdown to winter begin! ⛷️🌨️
#NozawaOnsen #FirstSnow #WinterIsComing #SkiJapan #NozawaHolidays 野沢温泉に初雪が降りました！ ❄️ うれしいお知らせです！昨日の朝、気温がついに氷点下となり、野沢温泉の上部で初雪が観測されました！ほんのうっすらとした雪化粧ですが、白い雪と紅葉のコントラストが本当に美しく、毎年ながら心が躍ります。 谷の向こう側にそびえる妙高山も、標高が高いこともありしっかりと雪に包まれたようです。雲に隠れてまだよく見えませんが、間違いなく冬の気配が漂ってきましたね。 長く暑かった夏を越え、ようやく冬へのカウントダウンが始まりました！スキー場スタッフもゲレンデ整備やリフトの準備に大忙し。もし雪に恵まれれば、オープン予定日はちょうど1か月後の11月29日。みんなで雪乞いダンスを始めましょう！🕺❄️ Photo by; @ueno_masayuki Arigatou Gozaimasu

The leaves at the top have already changed, colouring the mountains in reds, oranges, and golden yellows. The air is fresh and cool, and the views from above are stunning. This is the final chance to ride up and experience Nozawa Onsen’s highland autumn from the gondola before the snow begins to fall. Please come to Nozawa Onsen enjoy this beautiful season! 🍁 長坂ゴンドラ 夏の営業終了まであと4日🍁 野沢温泉スキー場のグリーンシーズン営業は、今月10月26日（日）までです。ゴンドラからの景色と、上ノ平駅にある「キッチン・セアボス」での食事を楽しめるのは、あと4日だけです！ 山の上ではすでに紅葉が進み、ゴンドラからは紅葉と緑が混じった山々と、開放的な景色が広がっています。この時期の空気はひんやりしていて、特に眺めが素晴らしい時期です。 雪が降り始める前の秋をゴンドラから楽しめる、最後の機会です。この機会に是非ご利用ください！ #野沢温泉村 #nozawaonsen #nozawaonsenjapan #nozawaholiday
❄️ Snow Forecast 2025–26 Winter – Nozawa O ❄️ Snow Forecast 2025–26 Winter – Nozawa Onsen ❄️ The countdown to winter has begun in Nozawa Onsen!
Early forecasts are pointing to another cold and snowy season ahead, with long-range models suggesting slightly above-average snowfall and below-average temperatures from December through February. Perfect conditions for deep powder days and that classic Nozawa magic. After a warm autumn, the chill is already setting in across Nagano, and locals are getting their skis waxed and snow shovels ready. The first snowfalls are expected on the upper slopes of Mt. Kenashi around late November, with the official resort opening planned for the last weekend of November (snow permitting). Read more here; https://www.nozawaholidays.com/nozawa-onsen-skiing/nozawa-ski-open-date/ We may even see a sneaky fall next week. Part of Hokkaido are already showing some dustings of early snow. Whether you’re chasing your first run of the season or soaking in a hot onsen while snowflakes fall around you, this winter in Nozawa is shaping up beautifully. 🏔️ Tip: Book your stay early — January and February dates are filling fast!

今年の野沢温泉も、寒くて雪の多いシーズンになりそうです。長期予報によると、12月から2月にかけては平年より低めの気温とやや多めの降雪が見込まれています。パウダースノーを楽しむには最高の条件ですね。 秋の暖かさも少しずつ和らぎ、長野の山々では冬の気配が漂い始めています。毛無山の上部では11月下旬ごろに初雪が期待され、**スキー場のオープンは12月上旬（積雪状況による）**を予定しています。 ゲレンデで今シーズン最初の滑りを楽しむのも良し、温泉に浸かりながら雪を眺めるのも良し。野沢の冬は、今年もきっと特別な時間を届けてくれるでしょう。 🏔️ ご予約はお早めに！
特に1月〜2月の人気期間は、すでに満室が増えてきています。 #野沢温泉 #雪予報 #長野 #スキー旅行 #日本の冬 #NozawaOnsen
