Greetings from Karuizawa!
The weather has warmed up quite a bit, and while there are still some cold spells, wind and rain, the worst of it is definitely over! The cherry blossoms are barely starting to bloom here in Karuizawa, so in a week or two we should be enjoying that very classic Japanese experience. In the meantime the daffodils have sprouted in random places, yay!
