Hello from Shiga Kogen.


The snow is back and it feels much more like winter this morning. Not a massive amount of snow but fingers crossed a bit more today. In some areas it is just cloudy now but it is snowing in others. Coming down quite nicely just now in Okushiga Kogen.


Tomorrow and Wednesday it's going to be more sunshine but snow should be back at the end of the week.
