You would only be jealous.

Still look like big numbers to me, but imagine 3,180,000 people at one resort?! No wonder you couldn't see the snow!

Looks like fun and love those minature shots!
When is this place open until?
-
Just about hit 10.
Most memorable moment - meeting my g/f in Shiga Kogen in the restaurant at lunchtime. Item by the end of the 3 days

The one time we used them they were fine, no complaints.

Interesting discussion.
My first Japanese resort was Nozawa, was taken by friends. Those friends still go there every year at least once in winter and also summer. It does have an appeal with a lot of people, even for people who don't ski. Obviously that's not going to do much good for the ski resort!
I also try to go back there and often have problems booking places on the weekends if I don't do it in advance enough.
I'm sure glad there isn't a big Prince plonked down in the valley! -
Nozawa. As good a place as any to start though I know zero about it when I went. Was just taken there!
-
Yes. Going back quite a while now. I was taken to Nozawa by a group of Japanese friends in my first year here. Loved it and never looked back. I always try to make it back there, I like the area.

I was out of Japan for 2 months due to family things and so it has been a very quiet season for me. I am hoping to make up for it next year.
