Oh no, can't believe it!!!! But I understand the amount of work required to keep these forums running, and I will still continue to use the site and post reviews and photos. I appreciate all the work you guys have put in and look forward to the new stuff you are doing. Thank you for such a great site. P.s if anyone wants to keep in touch with me like SJ said contact them to speak to me.

Raining today and cold, quite the contrast from yesterdays warm sunny weather.

Not long now before I get my season pass, end of the month I will have it.

Hilton hotel and The Grand Hyatt, I have stayed at both of them, they are both very nice hotels and will keep your luggahe for you. They also both have a free shuttle bus that runs every 15 or 20 mins that take you between the hotel and Shinjuku station.

After a wet start from last nights rain it is again mostly cloudy and looks like may be keeping mostly cloudy. Not so cold today and only got down to 6 last night. Lots of Yukimushi flying around this past couple of days too.

Not long now just one month until ski season starts here. I see tonight Fujimi Panorama have the skijo lights on, making snow most probably.

Funny day, mostly cloudy, odd patch of sunshine with a bit of light rain now and again.

Another sharp frost with temps going into the minus figures again. Currently 2oC, although supposed to be sunny with a high of about 10-13. Cloudy over half of the sky including here and clear blue sky to the west.

Clear blue sky, sunny and a cold frosty start, looks like being a beautiful day today.

The peaks around here got some snow yesterday, just a dusting but nice to see.

Was nice and sunny today got up to 13, but felt cold out of the sun with a strong NW blowing all day. Cold tonight will be a sharp frost tonight.

As for the Japanese houses being sugoi, the standard rental houses are far from sugoi, rather pretty shite. Paper thin walls, wafer thing glass, cold as f@#k in winter and hot as.... in summer. Not sure where they get the sugoi part there. Having your own house built to a decent standard like we did is different, but the bulk standard houses, no way. These clowns just want to be on TV.

That is why I don't watch Japanese TV, it pisses me off, all this over the top sugoi's, umai's, subarashi's, etc. And they usually have to shout while they say it. Basically any of these type of programmes do my head in. It is a big reason I did not bother to instal TV cable in my house and went for hikari instead. When I want to watch NHK news I use myportable TV or just wifi connect my phone to my TV if I want to watch it on a big screen.

Not lovely here, but better than yesterday at least it is not raining at the moment. Just cloudy with rain forecast. Out today to Izimino with our dogs

Had toasted egg and bacon sandwiches for my lunch today was veey tasty.
