Hakuba Iwatake / Sunny2018.Nov.03
There was frost on the terrace due to the radiative cooling. People came to HAKUBA MOUNTAIN HARBOR one after another as it was a beautiful weekend. I heard people saying, “Wow, it’s beautiful!” or “Amazing!” here and there. There was a long line of people trying to grab a cup of coffee or bread at THE CITY BAKERY, which opened at 9 a.m.

The autumn leaves passed the peak, however, I still found some yellow leaves, mainly of Katamatsu. I enjoyed a great view of the early winter-like ridge and the mountainside which was in the autumn leaf season. People came one after another to take photos, while some were painting pictures this morning. I enjoyed the magnificent scenery under the warm sunshine without wind.

I enjoyed the sound of fallen leaves when I walked on them in Nezuko-no-Mori. The maple tree in the deepest forest, which was in front of Umabuna (horse-like beech), looked more beautiful than I had expected. I saw passers-by taking souvenir photos of it.

“IWATAKE DEMO Bike Session”, which is a free trial session of mountain bikes, is being held at Hakuba Iwatake MTB PARK from Nov.3 (Sat)–Nov.4 (Sun) (Identification card required). It’s a great opportunity to try mountain bikes, such as Santa Cruz, ROCKY MOUNTAIN, MONDRAKER, and KHS. There were few mountain bikes left for trial around 11 a.m. and there was a waiting line of mountain biker at Gondola station.

Leaves had already changed colors at the foot of Iwatake, and I could enjoy the autumn leaves even in the car.
