@tokyo 14 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 10 pin was huge. Obviously very different to winter sports in so many ways, but as a boom/fad - huge. Agree that lots of the places look like they are caught in some kind of time warp now but one near me has actually had a madeover and is shiny and new right now, and quite popular as well.

bambi-chan 0 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I really notice number of people on slope is decrease by large amount. When I first went it was so crowded. Now so different, sometimes I wish more people there! Link to post Share on other sites

ii-tamago 0 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I've been here a while and seen a lot of changes - other than less people on the slopes (good for the people on them), most have unfortunately been tales of cutbacks and emptiness. It makes me sad. There is hope though, lets hope the fuel thing doesn't mess it all up. Link to post Share on other sites

SirGuy 0 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I'm planning a trip to Japan this winter and can't wait to check things out myself. Less busy sounds good to me. Let's planning as they say. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 It is good, though one or two times this last season places were a little toooo empty for my liking. (I wondered if I would ever be found if I had an accident!) Link to post Share on other sites
