Posted on Saturday 28th February 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.


Greetings from Hakuba.


The last morning of the month started with (light) rainy and damp conditions. But the forecasts seem to promise just a mostly cloudy day and where I am it is not raining just now. Let's hope it might stay that way. Looks like there might be some sun higher up above the clouds.


Tomorrow should be nice and sunny, so perhaps a reset in feelings with the hope of some fresh goodness on the horizon.


That's all I got for today. Have a good Saturday.
