Even though snow has fallen in the second half of May, the forecast for the days ahead predicts warm temperatures.
The weather has been frustratingly unpredictable the past few years. However, we would like to inform readers that plans for the reopening of roads to Kogen Onsen and Ginsendai have been announced.
Unseasonable snow like we just had may fall again, so please view information on road openings as a “plan” only.

Please be advised, however, that although the Aizankei Kamikawa route (Prefectural Route 223) is open (note: it continues to be closed today due to the snow; it will remain closed until the snow
melts), the section up to the Aizankei hut will be closed until mid-July for road improvement work.
