We do have a number of Rules & Guidelines that we ask all members to keep to. Although we have these necessary rules, we'd just like to point out that a really great community has developed here in recent years and we do our very best not to interfere with what happens on the Forums. It is still rare that we delete messages and even rarer when we have had to ban members. But if and when we do take action, it is not a decision we take lightly and we do it for reasons we feel are for the benefit of the Forums as a whole.  Please read the following membership conditions & notes before continuing. 

Please note that if you are registering for the first time, once you have filled out the below form you will receive an email from the main SnowJapan email address (editor@snowjapan.com).  You will need to verify your own email address by clicking a link within that mail.  That email should be with you as soon as you have successfully filled out the below form and so please look out for it.  Once you have confirmed your email address and the moderators of the Forums have approved your registration, you will be able to post.  Thank you and see you on the Forums.
