I just did a two day trip to Teine and overnighted in Sapporo. I had a car so my board was always in the car. I've seen boardracks at hotels in Asahikawa but didn't see any in Sapporo.

I doubt they would really be able to keep that patch to themselves anyway....it is Strawberry Fields after all! I reckon shortly after I came through a hooting and hollering pack of pow pigs would have ended the shoot quick smart. Idiots thinking they can film in Strawberries and have it all to themselves.
