Posted on Friday 14th April 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Fine weather again today but again probably hazy conditions due helped along by yellow sand across the region.
There will probably be some rain tomorrow, but hopefully not too prolonged.
Kagura ski area is currently saying that they might not be able to remain open until the planned closing dates (due to the snow situation). It seems like a hint that such a situation is likely.
Apparently the sakura cherry blossoms over at Naeba have started to blossom 10 days earlier than yesterday (peak due around 18th).
