Similar conditions this morning. A real hazy look going on but bright and generally just very spring-like. Once again temperatures expected to rise up to around 20 degrees. Overnights are getting noticeably milder too now - last night only dipping down to around 5 degrees.
We can perhaps expect more cloud later on today and into tomorrow, perhaps even a spot of rain according to some forecasts, but it's still mainly fine conditions expected through most of next week.
Oh and by the way Niseko Village have their Gondola and the top Wonderland lift operating for this Golden Week period.
Tomorrow is not actually a national holiday of course - but Tuesday is.
