The weather sure did co-operate over Golden Week with mostly fine clear skies and warm sunshine.
This morning there's some thin high cloud around but the sun is out. The forecast is for another fine and sunny day with temperatures again reaching up to around 25 degrees later on.
Now that Golden Week has finished, we are just left with the Kagura ski area open in Yuzawa. The Mitsumata area is open as a connecting area for Kagura - so no shuttle bus needed yet, but not much snow remaining at Mitsumata.
---
Kagura plans to be open until 31st May.
Planned lifts:
Mitsumata Ropeway
Mitsumata Number 1 high speed lift
Mitsumata Number 2 Romance lift
Kagura Gondola
Kagura Number 1 high speed lift
Kagura Number 1/4 Romance lifts (Saturdays and holidays only)
The Mitsumata area is now used only as a way to get to and from the main Kagura area.
All other ski resorts in the region are now closed for the season.
