Snow and road conditions in Nasu Kogen in winter (December to March)

Grand Mercure Nasu Highlands Resort & Spa is located on the middle of Nasu Kogen at an altitude of about 630 meters.
Nasu Kogen has a large difference in altitude depending on the area.

• Near Nasu IC: About 350 meters

• Around Nasu Safari Park: About 500 meters

• Around the hotel: About 630 meters

• Near Nasu Ropeway Sanroku Station: About 1,400 meters

Then, as the altitude rises, the temperature drops, and it becomes easier for snow to fall in winter (from December to March).
Especially from January to February, there is a lot of snowfall and snowfall, and in the morning and evening, it is a time when road surface freezes due to coldness are likely to occur.

[Request at the time of visit]

When you come by car, we recommend wearing a studless tire or tire chain.
If you are wearing a studless tire, you can visit the museum without any problems during normal snowfall or snowfall.

(I have a lot of questions, "Is it a studless tire, can I go to the hotel?"
During normal snowfall and snowfall, many customers come without any problems. )

However, the road conditions will change depending on the temperature and weather.
Please check the latest weather forecast and traffic information before departure and drive safely.

[Easily frozen time]

• From night to early morning (around 20:00 to 10:00), it is a time when the road surface is particularly likely to freeze.

• Even if the snow melts during the day, it may freeze again after evening.

• Please be especially careful on the slopes around the Nasu Highway and the hotel.
