These ultranationalists aer mainly throw aways from the yakuza as far as I can work out their views are just strongly aligned with the notion of the emperor as a demi god - interesting to hear that they gather at places like snow festivals as well

We just have the SECOM sticker - sent up by the inlaws in Kyushu - cheaper than a system and must at least be a deterrent !

Was in Hakuba recently with a 2wd without snow tires however the car has something cal;led snow mode which to be honest I`m not sure if is effective only with snow tires.
The snow is so dry there in Jan and quite flat. It depends a fair bit on where you are planning on going I guess.

Amanda Marie Knox (born July 9, 1987) is an American woman who, in 2009, was convicted of the murder of Meredith Kercher in Perguia, Italy. She served four years of a 26-year sentence before the murder conviction was overturned on October 3, 2011.
However, on March 26, 2013, Knox's acquittal was overturned by the Italian Supreme Court, sending the case back to the lower court for reconsideration. Rudy Guede was found guilty in October 2008 of the murder and sexual assault of Kercher and was sentenced to 30 years' imprisonment.
Raffaele Sollecito, Knox's boyfriend at the time of the murder, was also found guilty of the murder but had his conviction overturned by an appeal; this decision was likewise reversed on March 26, 2013.
The jury upheld Knox's separate calunnia conviction for falsely implicating bar owner Patrick Lumumba. For this Knox was sentenced to three years in prison, which she had already served, and was ordered to pay Lumumba's court costs of about 22,000 euros.
Knox's retrial on the charge of murder began, with Knox herself in asentia, on September 30, 2013. On January 30, 2014, Knox lost the appeal of her conviction at that retrial: the lower court's guilty verdict was affirmed, sentencing her to 28 years in prison.
