Nisoko 6 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Takeshi's Broadcaster program just did a piece on Hakuba being in the smellies this season due to the endaka situation. Did lots of doomy interviews with restaurant owners (new English menus - it is donburi or bowl?), rental shop guy (gaijin size boots), hotel dude (big beds) and Australian dudes on the 'spot-the-snow' slopes saying "takai" in poor Japanese. Interesting that they chose Hakuba. PS Pathetic amounts of snow there, no wonder the dudes they interviewed looked depressed. Lots up here. all in good humor of course Link to post Share on other sites

best skier in hakuba 5 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Don't worry, there's about 500 other places that are not (unless of course it's a totally peak time, when that number will be less). Link to post Share on other sites
