REPORT

Today, 11/8 (Sun.), marked the final day of operation for the 5-Sen South Lift. With that, Hakuba Hitotoki-no-Mori, CHAVATY HAKUBA, the Mountain Carts (pictured), Hakuba Giant Swing, Rental MTB + Hitotoki Downhill Experience, and the Hakuba Iwatake MTB PARK also wrapped up their seasons today. A cold northerly wind was blowing to start the day, but the clouds began to break up shortly after 10 a.m.

The Hitotoki Photo Frame (pictured), which debuted in September, remains quite popular. I watched as visitors took turns posing inside the frame with the snow-covered Northern Alps as their backdrop. Over at the grassy CHUMS Ridge area, some people relaxed in the freely available chairs while families could be seen enjoying the ring toss and slackline.

Scenic Relaxation Yoga (pictured), which proved especially popular with women again this season, also held its final session of the year at 1:30 p.m. The terrace at CHAVATY HAKUBA (pictured, rear) was busy with visitors relaxing over warm drinks, while the Hakuba Giant Swing remained busy right through its final day.

Facilities and attractions around the summit area, including HAKUBA MOUNTAIN HARBOR and SKYARK, will remain open through 11/15 (Sun.). By the way, visitors are free to enter and take photos inside the “GOMA ART ROOM” (pictured), located on the basement level of Skyark (※GOMA is an artist based in Aomori Prefecture). Near the entrance, you can also watch a time-lapse video of the artwork being created and try a capsule toy machine featuring original keychains magnets (¥500 per play; some items are currently awaiting restock).
