Sunny Sunny Sunny!!!

This is how the sky was in the morning and still is a sunny blue sky day! Some people from Canada came here today to enjoy this beautiful day and go out snowshoe hiking. They decided to walk around Yokoteyama where, on clear days, it's possible to see even the Mt. Fuji. Hope they are enjoying the view right now!

Sunday Morning

Today the sky was gorgeous in the morning but during the day became cloudy. But still a very good day for Shiga Kogen guests!

This picture, taken this morning, shows 2 typical trees in Shiga Kogen. Shirakaba or Japanese White Birch (Betula platyphylla var. japonica), on the left, and Dakekamba or Erman's Birch (Betula ermanii), on the right. In the background you can see Nishitateyama and Higashitateyama ski fields.
