HoTRoD 2 Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Perhaps its just a vicious rumour. Maybe LivedoorMan is coming to the rescue! Link to post Share on other sites
Wizz 11 Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Not heard about this, very interested though. No-one? Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Someone buy the hotels and actually make them half decent perhaps? Too much to ask for. btw, is there any Kokudo/Prince in Hakuba at all?? Link to post Share on other sites
slow 0 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 They haven't decided yet. But it seems they are going to make new company and keep some resorts. Of course they don't want to sell "Naeba". No Kokudo in Hakuba. In Nagano, Shigakogen, Nojiri-ko, Karuizawa. Link to post Share on other sites
highlandjin 0 Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 He has two faces as a loyal successor of Seibu empire that he inherited unlawful stock holding practices from dad and did not alter such wrong doing that he should have done it 20 years ago. But I admire his another face as an entrepreneur for developing ski resorts all over Japan. As a ski lover I wonder how much we benefitted from his facilities:Furano, Niseko-Higashi,Shizukuishi, Manza, Naeba-Tashiro-Kagura, Shiga-Yakebitai, Myoko-Suginohara, Karuizawa,...many of them were once forbidden to the population as the prices' properties. Now that he's down, I hope his successors understand great potentials of winter sports business, reinvigorate the ski resorts and will not close down!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
