Snow season has come in Hakuba!
I went to Hakuba Ski Resort in Nagano Prefecture on 20 and 21 November. It started snowing heavily from the day before my departure, and the slopes officially opened on 21 November!
So, of course skiers and snowboarders immediately went out to take advantage of the freshly fallen snow.
Talking with some locals, it seems like everyone was surprised to get this much snow in November! Looking out from the gondola, everywhere around me was a winter wonderland.
I stayed at the Hakuba Tokyu Hotel. It had a great view of the snow-covered mountain!
