Posted on Tuesday 6th May 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Good morning from Yuzawa.
Due to forecasts winds, GALA Yuzawa is not open today. It is an unfortunate way to end the season, but can't be helped.
Today was also the planned closing last day of the season for the Tashiro Area of Kagura, but that is also closed today for the same reason.
So that means just the Mitsumata Ropeway remains open. As things stand, it is scheduled to remain open until Sunday 18th May.
While the daily updates finish up today, this report will continue to be updated at least twice a week until Kagura closes.
