Hurray! Summer is now a memory!
It went on and on and on and on. I think by the end of August I might have been more liquid than solid. Thankfully, things started cooling down from the second half of September and we have been enjoying some colder temperatures over the last week or so. I have even used my heater a few times.
And.... there's been snow up there on the upper areas of the mountain. See photos below from this morning.
Nozawa Onsen hopes to open on Saturday 29th November. That's less than four weeks away!
Naski, Nozawa's favourite bright green skiing vegetable mascot, is getting increasingly excited.
No snow down to base yet and I'll let you known when there is.
Expect occasional updates this month as we approach the planned opening.
Good to be back, yey!
