Very busy up at Kagura today. I did not go myself but hearing stories of some long waits for lifts, especially the Tashiro Ropeway which was running slower than normal due to strong winds. The resort themselves are saying that there was at times a 2 hour wait for the Ropeway! And Kagura resort is also saying that yesterday saw the biggest crowds of the season. That's Golden Week at Kagura for you.
No doubt today will be busy too and next weekend as well.
This morning started off fine with blue skies and the sun out but seems to have started to cloud over. It's going to be warm today and as high as 21 degrees in town. Even Kagura are expecting a high of up to 18 degrees.
Cloud is expected tomorrow and perhaps some rain as well.
