Golden Week is now over as most people go back to work today after the holidays, and we are now left with just a limited selection of areas open - part of Okushiga Kogen, Kumanoyu and Yokoteyama-Shibutoge. More details below.


Some cloud around this morning but blue skies and the sun is out - the fine weather we experienced over Golden Week continues... with the snow melting away quickly, nature is taking hold with lots of plants and flower buds appearing.


We might get a bit of rain before the weekend but fine conditions are expected on Saturday and Sunday.

Okushiga Number 2, Okushiga Number 3 open daily until May 10th


Kumanoyu:
