【戸狩温泉】爆雪のパウダーリセット!開放された斜面が最高すぎた!(2026.2.8 スノーボード4K)
By: HAYATE OutdoorLife · 2026-02-11
Togari Onsen Ski Resort is a ski area in Nagano, Japan, on slopes between roughly 367 and 941 m. Its mapped area is about 3.0 km across, with 16 marked runs and 7 lifts (about 12 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 450 cm of snowfall a season, 50th of the 397 ski areas we measure in Japan. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2024/25 (635 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2015/16 (301 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 167 cm. Weather models read low in the mountains: a Japan Meteorological Agency station 6.3 km away measured 784 cm a winter over the last three seasons, against 510 cm from the model. Snowfall days average −1.9 °C at mid-mountain, close to freezing, so the snow is often heavy, and its snow-quality score ranks 213th of 397 in Japan.
The nearest city of any size is Nagano, about 37 km away. Below are links to 3 official live cameras.
Snow depth and the seven-day outlook appear here once snow starts to fall. Until then, the long-run record comes first.

The tick marks the median across every Japanese ski area we measure. All four bars run the same way — longer is better.
The quality score deliberately excludes how much snow falls — it uses temperature, frequency, rain and wind. Snowing a lot and snowing well are different things.
Compared with what is nearby
Within 50 km straight line. Measured the same way, so the ranks compare directly. Ski areas a few kilometres apart share a weather grid cell and can return the same figure.

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in January. March brings 29% of January’s snowfall. That is a steeper fall than the median for ski areas in Japan (52%): the snow here is concentrated early in the season. In amount, March brings 49 cm, about the same as the median of 46 cm.

Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 450 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2015/16 with 301 cm; the biggest was 2024/25 with 635 cm (2.1 times as much). For 63% of the 397 ski areas in Japan, the leanest winter was the same 2015/16: bad winters tend to hit a whole region at once.

What was actually measured nearby
Total snowfall from December to March recorded at the 野沢温泉 weather station — 6.3 km from this ski area, 78 m below its mid-slope.
| Three-season average | 784 cm |
| 2023/24 | 714 cm |
| 2024/25 | 979 cm |
| 2025/26 | 659 cm |
The figure calculated on this page is 510 cm.
A weather station is not a ski slope. We picked one at a similar elevation, but it stands in a valley or a village. More snow falls on the mountain above it. We have not tried to guess how much more.

What we have measured at Togari Onsen Ski Resort
- What's New at Japan's Ski Resorts for 2026/27, and How Much Snow Each Place Actually Gets Six changes for 2026/27, each checked against the operator's own announcement. A new gondola at Niseko Village, a six-seat chair at Tsugaike, Madarao joining the Ikon Pass, Asia's first members-only ski area at Togari, new cabins on the Kurodake ropeway, and the first nonstop from the US mainland to Sapporo.
- Asia's First Members-Only Ski Resort: What Is the Snow Like at Togari? THE CLUB TOGARI sold its first 40 memberships in 14 days at ¥20.4 million each. The hill behind it, Togari Onsen, is 6 km from Nozawa and shares its snow: 450 cm a season, 108th in the world. It also has 16 runs to Nozawa's 55, and a base 178 m lower. What members are buying is not the mountain.
- Japan's Snow Huts Are Water Shrines. The Snowiest Towns Do Not Have Them. The kamakura is not a shelter from snow. It is a well-side shrine to a water god, roughly 450 years old, and Yokote built its huts on 6 cm of snow in 2024. We measured the snow at five towns that hold one.
