Beautiful weather for Golden Week alright with blue skies today and tomorrow though cloud is coming in from Sunday to Tuesday apparently. It seems there’s still snow with plenty of cars parked in the carparks though to be honest I haven’t been up there for weeks…mountain-bikes being the preferred mode of transport. Still, Hakuba in Golden Week has a bit of everything with snow on the tops, the lakes with blossoms in bloom and the rivers pumping. Have a good one wherever you spend it!

Hakuba 47 – until 6th May
