Looks like they are all in the onsen now http://www.snowjapan.com/e/daily/webcam/nagano/snow-monkeys.html

You need to look into that and speak with the people re: getting a visa in the states. There have been some discussions on here in the last week or two, can't remember which thread. Might come up in a search.

I thought we were all talking in yen. I was impressed though....

I EASY earn a six figure salary. A few times over!

Cool. Do you use them all at the same time? For the shits and giggles of course?

Just so we know to compare, how many cheeses would Independence Day have been?

I thought it was just the United States, which is one right?

Agree. Harsh and and somewhat insulting.

I would head down south myself. Get a look in on Nagano / Niigata / Gunma. Oh, thats with a car though. Train like people said isn't the best for skijos.

I'd love to go again. Just too busy usually.

I'd contact some of the schools and places like black diamond, rather. Think you'll find them in the Town Guide area and Lessons in English pages.

Hate situations like that. One person sounding unsure does not make you feel confident does it!

I would never think of taking a photo of a daikon. But somehow you pull it off. Haha.

My god, that is bad. Someone should take it down, perhaps in the middle of the night. Bart Simpson would be good at that.

I was driving on a road today for about 20 minutes behind this old bloke driving along at about 20kmh. It was a fairly narrow and windy road and so really almost nowhere to overtake. Having said that, anything less than 40kmh on that road is just silly. He didn't let me pass - the guy probably didn't even see me, when I eventually overtook him he looked like a zombified 90 year old. Drivers like that drive me nuts. 20km should be a crime! Perhaps I should just stop for 10 minutes and let him pull away (!) to avoid the frustration!

A whole bunch of people and increasingly from Asia.

Quote: Despite what you may have (or haven't) heard, there are many more great resorts here in Hokkaido. Niseko is just the starting point. This short vid of Hokkaido(containing no niseko or furano footage) will make your mouth water. Hmmmm. Nah, cheesy marketing brochure for sure!

After careful thought and calculations. 40.

Looks rubbish. Did you copy paste that text from some cheesy marketing brochure?

AWESOME!

Just downed on it in another thread but the Love Guru is actually worth watching. It is just so bad, you got to wonder how they didn't notice.

It was worse than that.
