We visited Nomugi in a very sub-par season after skiing at Hirayu Onsen and Mt Norikura. The snow was like ice cream when we visited, but it had been raining in Myoko so we were thankful for small mercies that it had been borderline snowing at Nomugi thanks to its high elevation. We explored some of the sidecountry trees as those in-bounds looked a little tight, but the snow cover was pretty thin in places on the sunny slopes. We look forward to visiting again when the snow’s a bit better.

Our thoughts on the pros and cons are outlined on the Nomugi overview page. You can also see the Japanese ski resort ratings to see how we rate Nomugi versus other Japan ski areas.
