The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) publishes various real-time snowfall, weather and forecast related resources. We introduce various resources for the region covered by Nozawa Onsen Now located on this page. All links open in a new window. All maps are centred on the region.
Important: The below information is provided to give a general insight into the weather and snowfall conditions in the region. It is not ski area specific. Actual snowfall is often more than shown, especially at higher elevations.
The JMA is an agency of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.
About weather forecasts
We do not specifically recommend any detailed weather forecasting service for all regions of Japan. However, many forecasts, both in Japanese and English, are free to use and widely available. Such services offer varying accuracy, with some seemingly more accurate for some areas of Japan than others.Weather map
