Early Obon brought sunshine everyday but late Obon and the full moon saw a shift in weather with rain since late last week.

Hakuba has been experiencing some amazing weather with blue skies and hot temperatures. Everyday has seen Aokiko Lake busy with kayakers and canoeists by day and Hotaru viewers by night and the campsites have been packed full. The Kamoshika canyon has been busier than a subway line in Tokyo and fun-ride and downhill mountain bike enthusiasts have been sweating it up. As every year Hakuba is extremely busy this Obon with campers, hotel stayers, families, couples, SOS ravers and so on…and as every Obon Hakuba is turning out the blue skies and sunshine!

Hakuba Weather July 7th

After last year where the mountains were obscured by cloud the most part of June and half of July the rainy season has let us off easy this year with plenty of sunny days. Temperatures are starting to heat up and while we’re far away from the stifling heat of Tokyo and Nagoya its been ideal for canoeing and swimming in Lake Aokiko and for long MTB rides and days in the canyons. Nights are still cool but definitely warming up and the smell of bbq smoke is heavy in the air most nights. Hotaru will be coming soon and one of the best ways to experience these is on a night cruise with us…

TEMPERATURE IN THE VILLAGE:

27 degrees C.

Hakuba Weather May 30th

The weather over May has been great in Hakuba with temperatures fluctuating between 16-28 degrees and conditions ripe for pretty much anything. Ski-fields were open until May 6th and some die-hards have still been hiking up to get a piece of the remaining spring snow. Water has been warming up in Hakuba’s lakes and rivers and rafting on the Himekawa has been happening most days as have canyoning tours in the Kamoshika canyon and canoe & kayak tours on Aokiko lake.

Mountain bike trails have been cleared by keen staff and bikers have been seen hitting these most days…for those of you unfamiliar with Hakuba’s trails a MTB tour with us will steer you in the right direction.

Rainy season is not yet upon us though it has been slowly creeping up the country and will be coming this way in the next couple of weeks. So now is a perfect time to escape the humidity that has beset the cities and get away for a refresher in Hakuba!
