Good morning from Hakuba.
A calm morning with a lot of blue sky and some thin cloud.
As of 7:30am it is about 9C in the village.
There's a fair chance of some rain at times tomorrow before more sun due come Thursday.
Not long left now, so I am going to make the most of the good weather and get myself to the top of Goryu/47.
