Posted on Thursday 31st March 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.


Good morning from Hakuba.


Yesterday ended up a bit hazy/overcast (less of the blue, more of the light grey), and this morning starts with cloudy skies - and rain. Which is not great.


But tomorrow should be nicer (clearer, but not as warm) and perhaps there might be some dustings of fresh snow on the mountains to report.
