Good morning from Yuzawa.
I wasn't out myself yesterday but my good friend spent a few hours over at Maiko Snow Resort and they said that it was actually rather busy. Interesting.
It was a lovely day. Spring-like, for sure. Accept that and there's still lots of fun to be had.
In contrast with yesterday this morning it is grey and overcast. It is a mild start to the day.
Today is the last day of the season for the Iwappara resort. Otsukaresama deshita.

We might see temperatures rising to around 16C in town tomorrow. Mad!
