William Looks like we may get some snow later in the week. Mt Kimpo is a good place to experience the phenomenon. There are two parking lots, the lower and upper, and in the event of snow, the former is greatly recommended. Also, hiking the road up is not only safer than the trail but preferable from a viewpoint point of view: the road winds around about 300° of the mountain, with wonderful views of the paddies of Tamana, Nagasaki’s Mt Unzen, and our city with Mt Aso. Go up one side and down the other. Make sure to bring bread crumbs for the birds that will feed from your hand at the peak.
