Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Japan late March / early April : Hakuba, Myoko, Niseko

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Looking into visiting Japan around Easter holidays 2016, which falls late March /early April. Hakuba and Myoko are appealing and Niseko is of interest too. The trip would be to either Honshu or Hokkaido, not both.

The question : is this too late in the season to experience great snow conditions?

Opinions much appreciated.

It will be open, but it will feel like it is closed....empty, deserted, most bars and restaurants closed, but the lifts still running.
You'll be lucky to get any good fresh snow or powder....but there will be loads of snow on the mountains.

Too late for powder, really, especially on the main Island; it's just too far south so even if you're lucky enough to get a good storm the snow will cook very quickly.

Hokkaido information and March & April conditions - info and vids

Decent chance of powder in late March, rare in early April.

Thanks for the feedback. Loving those Kiroro vids Mike, great March conditions. Would you say Niseko generally get similar conditions to Kiroro in late March / early April?

My pleasure.

Yep similar at the top.

Biggest difference is the base areas of Niseko United, Moiwa and Rusutsu are at approx 300m

Base area at Kiroro is 570m

At that time of year it can be significant.
