As of yesterday afternoon Harunotaki was flowing! A sure sign of spring in Niseko is the sight of Harunotaki flowing between Grand Hirafu and Niseko Village. This spectacle is easily visible from Hirafu village and will continue for a month or so. In the morning the flow is hardly visible but by mid morning it will be flowing strongly 😉
For a bit more background on Harunotaki please take a look at these previous posts:
