Most of the snow resorts in Japan have had a great start to the season this year.  Last year, they were still waiting for a dump of snow at this time of the year, but now Hakuba Goryu has 180cm snow already.   



amazing mountain view from the top...



Alps 360 (restaurant, cafe, shop, rest room) is located 1,500 metre high and it is right next to the gondola station.  



Sunrise start - Hakuba Goryu Sky Four Chairlift opens at 6:30 between Dec 26th and Jan 3rd, and every weekend (Sat & Sun) (9/1 - 28/3).  This would be a great oppotunity to enjoy the beautiful sunrise and the fresh snow!
