BillTheBinMan 0 Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 OK so Hakuba folk, whats the story behind the name "Echoland". It doesn't sound very Japanese in origin. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 All the Hakuba folk are shy it seems. (Or maybe they just don't know!) Link to post Share on other sites

stemik 14 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 what i have heard - is that a group of buisuness men bought the land and to attract customer - gave it a English name. I think same goes for Echo Valley Ski Resort Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 The same probably goes for lots of them. Whats with the "kokusai" resorts? Link to post Share on other sites
skidaisuki 0 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I thought that they were being 'ecological' - until I went there for a few beers! Doesn't echo much, either... Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 maybe thats the sound from your pockets after you've spent an evening in the local bars.....echoing from emptiness!! Link to post Share on other sites
stemik 14 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 no its Hakuba where there are two girls for every guy - it sounds like a echo when they say "kawaiiiiii" together Link to post Share on other sites
