Good morning from Naeba.
It's snowing a little this morning, but the sunny is trying to muscle in. (Though snow is expected through tomorrow, particularly tonight).
The temperature is low and the snow quality is good... the 10cm of fresh since yesterday makes a difference.
It's a little windy this morning, but the visibility is good.
Good news: the top Takenokoyama romance pair lift is open, yey! Let's hope it can stay open!
