Hakuba Iwatake / Sunny2018.Oct.21
On Sunday, 10/21/18, it was a clear and sunny day – a picture perfect day for Iwatake’s autumn leaves. At around 11:30 AM, there was already a long line for the gondola. Visitors were enjoying stunning views of golden beech trees overlooking Hakuba village at end of the gondola stop.

The terrace of HAKUBA MOUNTAIN HARBOR was packed with hikers. They were enjoying themselves, taking photographs of the magnificent views of Hakuba-Sanzan (Mount Hakuba, Mount Shakushi, and Mount Yari), and its famous “three-stage” autumn leaves. At THE CITY BAKERY, they were enjoying homemade baked breads and coffee.

The views of the autumn leaves were still worth braving the clouds and rain on Saturday, October 20th. Hikers were excited to see Mount Hakuba’s peak, which suddenly appeared between the clouds at around 2 PM.
