Goshikigahara Forest Hike in May
I am planning to visit Takayama and Okuhida in my trip in May from the 20th (arrive in evening) until either the 23rd or 24th.
Part of my consideration of how long I stay is how the conditions will be for the day hiking tours for Goshikigahara Forest. According to their site they usually open for the season on May 20th, but I have seen some posts online suggesting that there might be too much snow to properly hike or get good scenery.
Does anyone have experience with the region and himing during the late May time interval? I am trying to decide if I should do an extra day in the area vs spending it in Tokyo before I depart.
