Snow is falling across Japan right now, with moderate snow at Niseko Hanazono Resort and Tateyama Murodo Mountain, and no heavy snow yet. Niseko Hanazono Resort is in Kutchan, Hokkaido, and Tateyama Murodo Mountain looks out over the Northern Alps in Toyama Prefecture.

Niseko Hanazono Resort sits in the Niseko United ski area in Hokkaido, a name skiers know for its deep powder and mountain runs. Tateyama Murodo Mountain looks out over the Northern Alps in Toyama Prefecture, where the terrain rises fast and turns rugged. Start with those two if you want the clearest mountain views tonight.

Closer to the city, Mount Moiwa Observation Deck in Sapporo is seeing light snow, and Tanukikoji 8-chome is getting light sleet in the covered arcade that dates back more than 150 years. Hakodate panorama is also reporting light sleet over the port city in southern Hokkaido, where the night view is worth checking after dark.

If you want the sharpest mountain view, start with Tateyama Murodo Mountain, then move down to Niseko Hanazono Resort.
