SnowJapan Moderator SnowJapan.Com#4 5 Posted November 10, 2008 SnowJapan Moderator Share Posted November 10, 2008 It is in Yuzawa on Route 17 in between Gala Yuzawa and Ishiuchi. We will be sure to keep you posted. Perhaps a pre-season "no snow" photo is called for..... Link to post Share on other sites

deanrobi 2 Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 I particulary liked the night time shots from, last year i think, of just the roof top peering thru the snow and the glow of the telephone sign. Anyway i will be happy this year when there's to much snow to open up the door. Great photo's,now i'm looking forward to the new shots after the next dump. Maybe there's a telephone booth in main street Niseko that we can do the same with. Link to post Share on other sites
