On skis as well!
Actually I'm not keen on Tsugaike - much prefer Happo / 47 / Goryu.

[Kusatsu Onsen (Gunma)]

Hi

 

Anyone been to Kusatsu this season yet?

 

I have been once to the town in summer and loved it and the ski-jo looked interesting - the locals promised the snow was top quality over there.

 

Thinking of going in a few weeks. Fairly easy for me being in Saitama.

[In Japan?]

After living for 3 years in Osaka, I'm now in southern Saitama and working in northern Tokyo.

 

Different scene, and fairly close to Gunma / Niigata and other places so good with me.

Great photos all the time I Love Zao.

I'm hoping to get up there next month.

Been skiing for 13 years now

Never boarded though I actually wouldn't mind trying.

Problem is, it would take some skiing time from me.
