A campground “Hakuba Iwatake Mountain Field” will open halfway up Mt. Iwatake on Thursday, July 23. On the same day, “Snow Patch Deck”, which commands a view of Karamatsusawa snow patch, will open too in the beech forest near Hakuba Mountain Harbor. Sunday, July 19 was the first beautiful day in July (pictured). A gentle southerly wind kept blowing all day.

I saw children of Otari Mountain Bike Club going down the downhill trails in Hakuba Iwatake MTB PARK. “We’re having practice runs together today. You know, kids learn faster than adults. We need more practice.”, a parent said. Electric MTB (e-bike) rentals are available at the top (※ 1,000 yen / 30 mins).
