Good morning from Yuzawa.

Yesterday was a fine morning at least as things did cloud over and by evening it was raining, and it's still raining this morning though will hopefully clear up. After the warmth of yesterday as well it's rather cold this morning and the forecast is telling us that it probably won't warm up over 8 degrees today.

Very odd weather recently - it was on the tv this morning that in some regions of Japan it was close to 30 degrees, while it was still snowing up in some parts of Hokkaido!

Hopefully we'll see the sun and it will warm up a bit more tomorrow.

So from today, it's just Kagura via Mitsumata that remains open. We have posted the below information on the Naeba Now page, but I'll put it on here as well:
