Posted on Sunday 9th March 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
It was quite cold yesterday and some wind too in the morning.
Nice March conditions to enjoy, yey.
Today will probably be less cold with temps heading into milder/warmer territory over the coming week. And probably quite a lot of sunshine too and hopefully without wind.
Tsugaike Ropeway will be open today. A reminder about that:
The Ropeway at the top of Tsugaike Kogen only opens during the spring season and they have told us when that will be this season.
It will open every day through 31st March, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays between 4th April and 27th April, and then every day from 28th April through 6th May. Open from 8:30am until (last one down) 3:00pm in March and 3:30pm after that.
Be advised that extra yens are required to use it. 760 of them for one way and 1390 of them for a return ride (adult charges). Children are charged 380 yen and 700 yen.
It is also important to note that a Mountain Climbing Notification must be submitted to ride the ropeway and that can be done in advance online. They also wisely say "going into the backcountry requires proper equipment and planning". Indeed.
