Hakuba Iwatake / Sunny2022.Oct.20
I heard comfortable sounds and the feeling of fallen leaves on my foot while stepping toward the west side of the summit area. In Nezuko-no-mori Forest on my left side, it is good timing to enjoy the autumn tints. A hiker I met on the way said, “I went to Nezuko-no-mori Forest to see the beautiful autumn leaves. I had a good time there in a tunnel of bright colored tints.”

The great scape over the 3,000 meter mountains with autumn tints amazed us on the deck of HAKUBA MOUNTAIN HARBOR. It was cold because of the radiative cooling this morning, but my light jacket and long-sleeve shirt worked well enough thanks to the weather with the sunlight and no winds.

In addition, the snow fallen on the day before yesterday still remained over an altitude of over 2,500 meters, so we could see the epic three layered autumn tints. By the way, we waited for 5 minutes to take the down-line gondola after 12:00 p.m., Although today was a weekday, I saw a lot of people on the mountain and the parking area was almost full.

In Hakuba Hitotoki-no-mori (Photo), the collaboration with “CHUMS”, a casual outdoor brand, is going on. People had a chill time on the chairs with drinks and some of them laid in tents.
