I saw one the other night surely a TV movie called Take Shelter. Well that was the katakana name for it anyway can't recall if the English was different.
It was... odd.

Yes pressure on muikabochi!
I like seeing your reports from places and seeing the places.
I actually prefer them to seeing skiers/boarders who could be at any of hundreds of places.
Keep them coming!

Most people are looking for the marquee runs close to the lifts with wide open spaces and long vertical.
Not surprisingly these areas get tracked out quite quickly.
Oh come on now Mike.

Back to the canned coffee.
I actually quite liked that "healthia" (?) one.
Odd but true.
I like the normal cold bitter drink too.

Don't be rushed into anything by people telling you 'Book now'.
Especially if they use capitals and multiple exclamation marks.

The Chuo Shinkansen (中央新幹線) is a planned Japanese maglev line designed to ultimately connect Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka. Its initial planned route is between Shinagawa Station in Tokyo and Nagoya Station in Nagoya, with stations in Sagamihara, Kanagawa, Kofu, Yamanashi, and Nakatsugawa, Gifu, as well as an as-yet undetermined location in Nagano Prefecture. The line is expected to connect Tokyo and Nagoya in the first stage in 40 minutes, and eventually Tokyo and Osaka in 67 minutes, running at a maximum speed of 505 km/h.
The Chuo Shinkansen is the culmination of Japanese maglev development since the 1970s, a government-funded project initiated by Japan Airlines and the former Japanese National Railways (JNR). JR Central now operates the facilities and research. The line is intended to be built by extending and incorporating the existing Yamanashi test track. The trainsets themselves are popularly known in Japan as Linear Motor Car (リニアモーターカー, rinia mōtā kā), though there have been many technical variations.
Government permission to proceed with construction was granted on May 27, 2011. Construction of the line, which is expected to cost over ¥9 trillion, is expected to commence in 2014. JR Central aims to begin commercial service between Tokyo and Nagoya in 2027, with the Nagoya-Osaka section to be completed in 2045. JR Central is considering opening up partial maglev service between Kofu, Yamanashi and Sagamihara, Kanagawa around 2020.
