About Ouchi-juku
Ouchi-juku is an Edo-period post town in Shimogo, in the Aizu mountains of Fukushima, with a single street of thatched-roof houses on the old road to Nikko. Winters bring deep snow, which turns the street into one of Japan's best-known winter scenes, especially at the snow festival in February. These Ouchi-juku live cams come from Shimogo town itself.
Which Ouchi-juku webcam to check first
Start with Ouchi-juku for the thatched street and snow on the roofs. To-no-hetsuri shows the eroded river cliffs, Kannon-numa the forest pond, and Yunokami Onsen the thatched station on the Aizu Railway.
Before you go to Ouchi-juku
Check the Japan Meteorological Agency forecast and road conditions in winter; the road up to Ouchi-juku is steep and needs winter tyres when it snows.
Live cameras and modelled weather can be delayed, incomplete or offline. Check official weather, access and safety information before you make plans.
