Myoko Guy 0 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 There is also an English Ski School in Akakura or you could possibly also look up Bill Ross in neighbouring Akakan Resort. Other schools elsewhere are listed here: http://www.snowjapan.com/e/resorts/english.html As for eating habits you'll be able to find pizza, fries, tempura fish, noodles, sizzling steak, etc. without too much problem if they get real fussy. If they don't like the breakfast you can buy buns and flavoured milk from the local convenience store. Good luck! MG Link to post Share on other sites
Willy08 0 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Thanks people for the suggestions. The kids would like the bullet train ride and seeing the monkeys, so the main island might be the go. I have some how organised 2 ski trips in the next 10 months (not sure how i got that through the board of control, aka the misses) so by the time we get to Japan hopefully the kids will only need a 2 or 3 days worth of instruction and then we can all rip together. With Dad slipping away at times to ski some real stuff on his own!!! Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, he's pretty much an ornament up this way. He and a few other local identities really opened up free-heel not just in Myoko, but Japan in general I think. Link to post Share on other sites
