About Geto Kogen
Geto Kogen lies in the Ou Mountains west of Kitakami in Iwate, and calls itself one of the snowiest resorts in Japan. Winter monsoon storms from the Sea of Japan can bury the area for days, then clear to bright, cold weather. This Geto Kogen live cam shows the slopes from beside the gondola station.
Which Geto Kogen webcam to check first
Watch the stream for how fast the snow is falling and how far you can see up the slopes. The gondola station in the foreground gives a sense of how deep the snow is at the base.
Before you go to Geto Kogen
Check Geto Kogen's opening dates and the Japan Meteorological Agency forecast before you go. The mountain road from Kitakami can be heavy going in a storm, so carry chains or use the shuttle bus.
Webcams and modelled weather can be delayed, incomplete or offline. A camera can't tell you whether a lift, piste, road or off-piste route is open or safe.
