Plan your trip with this camera

Mount Asama from Tsumagoi (嬬恋村からみた浅間山) is a camera image of Mount Asama and the sky above it, taken from Tsumagoi Village in Gunma Prefecture. Use it to see how much of the mountain is hidden by cloud before you plan a sightseeing or hiking day in the area. Do not use it to judge the state of the volcano.

How to read this view

This is a still photo from the Ministry of the Environment's Internet Nature Research Institute, not live video. A new image is posted about every 3,600 seconds (roughly once an hour), so check the capture time on the original page before you rely on it. Times are in Japan Standard Time (JST).

Questions about this camera

Can I tell from this camera whether Mount Asama is erupting?
No. White areas or something that looks like smoke in the image are not a reliable sign of an eruption. For volcanic alerts and access restrictions, follow announcements from the Japan Meteorological Agency and the local government.
How often does the Mount Asama image update?
About once an hour. The page shows a still photo rather than a video stream. Look at the capture time on the official page, and compare it with the direction of the summit, to judge how much of the mountain is under cloud.

Fees, hours and access for nearby places come from the official sources recorded in our attraction guides; confirm them on each venue’s official page before you go. Edited 2026-10-31.
