Posted on Friday 13th December 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
We're still in pre-season, and it looks like it's going to stay that way for at least a while longer.
I got the official word of delays in openings through one of the members of the Shin-Akakura Tourist Office, but to tell the truth, the former clear listings of all the websites on the city site are gone, and I can't find the new listing in the site by our new DMO (destination marketing organization)! And the mailing list from the city isn't operating yet, apparently. So we don't have an official listing to pull from. But my request is in....
The word is: at least for Akakura Kanko Ski Area is partial opening on the 21st, full opening on the 28th. I will update this as soon as I know for all the resorts. So let's say here:
All resorts: the 21st at the earliest, and possible only in part.
But I also have to add, as I often do, we OFTEN don't get snow until right around Christmas, so, ah, relax!
Oh, yeah, we did get a little snow since yesterday; it will be gone soon.
