Youth Hostel we stayed.
白馬シェーンドルフユースホステル。栂池高原バス停から思ったより遠かったです。
Here are the pictures taken on the second day of our Hakuba Trip.
When we got to the ticket selling place of Tsugaike Gondola and Ropeway, there were already long lines of people waiting. The gondola was longer than I thought... It took 20 minutes or so to get to the top. From there we took the ropeway (another gondola, actually) and we got to the Tsugaike Shizen-en park. When we got there, it was covered with thick clouds, so we could see nothing but white, but in a while the clouds cleared up! We enjoyed the beautiful scenery with blue sky and white mountains.
帰りは、白馬から立川まであずさでゆったり帰ってきました。

The blue sky started to appear.
You need to use ski or snowshoe... We didn't use either, though...
It was pretty hard.
Parus ater (Higara).
Misterious scenery.
Here is the panorama!
Surrounded by the beautiful white mountains!
