The outside of Kamishiro Sta.
We rented snowshoes. It was first time for me to use these.
It was tougher than I thought.
The Hakuba area has lots of skiing places.
Jizou-no-Kashira.
It was snowing and raining, so we couldn't see much.
It would have been really pretty if it hadn't been snowing.
Soba for lunch at the restaurant near Kamishiro Sta.
Kamishiro Sta.
The driver was kind enought to take us to the Soba restaurant by bus.
Ooito Line.
Happou Spa "Mimizuku-no-Yu".
The water's PH is nearly 12! Pretty strong alkali, so the water felt slippery.
