7-11

Nice report BM. I have liked Kagura when I went. Can get very busy esp. early and late season though. Weekdays if at all possible.

Book now for once in a lifetime special rates for 'the second part of winter' in Hakuba, now extended right into August! Do it quick though while rooms last!

I've seen good and bad ones, noisy and quiet ones. If you have the space for them to slide, they obviously take up less space in the opening and closing.

Looks like an old primitive piano. Or synth!

Hmmm small place. Nakazato Snow Wood in Yuzawa?

Not silly at all. In fact, correct! Turned around which was a bit naughty.

New one.

Coming up!

That really was a guess. I'll try to get a new one up today.

But is she all metal underneath?!

I usually go around 110-120, as long as others are.

Is it actually Asarigawa Onsen?!?

So it seems this season the peak was near the end of February.

DJ!

you don't say!

Thanks for the report. Good you got the festival in there too.

...in a Dr Who kind of way

Yes it is all very interesting. Never really put much thought into it but I'd love to have a bigger nicer place of my own. There's some nice looking places going up now. Maybe in a few years if I decide to stay on.

We expect them to be shagging boys. He didn't live up to this standard?! What did he do?

But you were still 'tasting it' hours later? That's the bonus.

As you might expect there's quite a few 'specials' on this week and the coming weekend about the earthquake and Fukushima issues. Check out NHK in particular.

Nexco may well be regulated and have to follow some kind of rules as to when they need to do this, details unknown to us. Can't quite imagine what but.. I doubt they do it for the shits and giggles though, and it costs them money so you got to think they would prefer not to.

I got so much chocolate this morning, I need to donate some of it to charity.

Weekends in January, every day from end of January until early March.
