REPORT

This morning, I met a group of students from Kanagawa (pictured), who shared, “We were in the same class in high school. Tonight, we’re staying at Hakuba Hotel Oak Forest. Since we’re all beginners, we might end up covered in snow and looking like snowmen!” The last week has been eventful in terms of weather, with a spring storm blowing through on 3/22 (Sat.) to 3/23 (Sun.) and Asian Dust arriving yesterday, 3/25 (Tue.). Today, 3/26 (Wed.), brought a mix of both—spring winds and hazy skies caused by Asian Dust.

そんな訳で、五竜47の全てのリフトが運転を見合わせていました（泣）。車でいいもりゲレンデに移動して、レストハウスいいもりの2階にある「託児所うさぎのおみみ」へ（写真、※6ヶ月～未就学児が対象、事前予約制、3/30まで）。ここはきれいで広くて、静かで、しかも遊具が沢山ある、おすすめの託児所です。

As such, all lifts at Goryu47 were temporarily suspended this morning, so I drove over to the Iimori Slope and visited the “Usagi no Omimi” daycare center on the second floor of Resthouse Iimori (pictured, for children 6 months old to preschool, reservation required, open until 3/30). This childcare facility is clean, spacious, quiet, and filled with plenty of toys—highly recommended!

The menu at Restaurant Chandor, located on the first floor, mainly features rice bowls, curry, and burgers. The Roast Beef Bowl (pictured, ¥2,000) had a light and refreshing taste, and I made quick work of it. There are options for children as well, like the Kids’ Curry (JPY1,000) and Kids’ Pancakes (JPY1,000).

I returned to the slopes around 10:00 a.m., but all lifts were still on hold… On the soft, groomed corn snow surface of the Merrry Land Course (pictured), I had to brace myself against occasional strong gusts. Also, this is a reminder that 47PARKS will be closed for a rebuild on 3/26 (Wed.) and 3/27 (Thu.).
