Good morning from Niseko.
It is a kind of hazy looking morning. A bit overcast but some blue sky to just about see and it is quite bright. As I write this anyway.
The Hirafu Gondola is operating for the weekend (it will be closed again from Monday).
Tomorrow might be a clearer type of fine weather with quite a lot of sun on the forecast in the coming week.
