Good morning from Yuzawa.
And it's definitely better than yesterday with dry conditions to start the day but lots of cloud. Whether the sun will appear later on or not we'll just have to wait and see.
Both GALA Yuzawa and Kagura open as planned this morning.
What else is there? Looking to the weekend we can probably expect sunshine and quite warm conditions on both Saturday and Sunday.
