Sanchous 0 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Hi, everybody! I'm visiting Japan with my famiily in March. It will be just a week tour. As we live close to Hokkido (the next island to the North), we have ski area, which is not bad, but for sure not as nice as in Japan. We are planning to stay in Sapporo for three days, and then want to have short ski trip to Niseko. As I read in another topic, this spring may be unusually warm. March, 24-26 are the dates we may come to Niseko. Because of that, I don't want to book the hostel beforehand: if no snow, visiting resort wouldn't be worth. Most of the hotels have strict booking polisy with no refund. The question is if I could rely on available accomodations when coming? I also could make a call from Sapporo for reservations. Thanks a lot for your responds. Link to post Share on other sites
Hokkaidough 4 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I bet you would be able to have your pick and choice of places. Contact them directly ( lots of contacts here http://www.snowjapan.com/e/hotel/niseko-hokkaido-accommodation.html ) and I am sure you will be greeted with glee! Link to post Share on other sites
Sanchous 0 Posted February 28, 2009 Author Share Posted February 28, 2009 Oh, yes! I'm through this list of hostels. Most of them are too expensive for me though. Thanks anyway! I will probably make a reservations form Sapporo just before coming following your advice. I need just one room with twin & sofa. Hopefully that wouldn't be a problem?

Jynxx 4 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Sanchous, you are from Sakhalin...very interesting...don't want to get into politics but tell us what it's like there. You are Russian nationality, but Japanese or Ainu descent? Fisherman or military? how long have you lived there? Link to post Share on other sites
Sanchous 0 Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 No politics in skiing for sure. I've been living here as long as I can remember myself. Most of Sakhalin population are Russians, lots of Koreans though. After World War 2 their parents, and grands stayed on island. There are also Ainu and Japanese, however not many. Oil and gas brought lots of expats last 5-10 years. I have some friends from the USA, Canada, Australia, Europe. I'm fishing and hunting just for fun, not a lot. That's it. If you are interested in some more information, send me PM, I will answer. Just don't want to be knocked out by editor Link to post Share on other sites
