It's officially the last day of the season up at Kagura and that means the last day of the what has been a long, long season here in Yuzawa.

It is a cloudy start to the day but brighter than it has been with the shining through at the moment. Temperatures remain unseasonably cool though and it won't get much warmer than 15 degrees today, and of course not as high as that up on the mountain.

This coming week clearer, sunnier weather is on the forecast along with slightly warmer conditions - though it doesn't look like the hot weather will be with us just yet.

We plan to post occasional weather updates to this Yuzawa Now page during the summer months and of course will be back with daily reports in the run up to next snow season.... look out for the first snowfall higher up on the mountains sometime in October.

Thanks for reading the reports throughout winter and we hope that you have a good summer.
