The valley between Happo and 47 still has remnants of snow from the winter.

As the temperatures rise here in Hakuba the jungle starts to grow. Everyone who visits Hakuba during the summer is amazed how lush and green the area becomes. It is difficult to imagine when the place is totally covered by meters of snow in the winter that it develops into something closer to a tropical rainforest in the warmer months. The snowmelt continues throughout the year giving us an endless supply of cool pure mountain water and ever changing scenery.
