iiyamadude 6 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I'll kick off. Any other cheesy contributions from Japanese ski resorts most welcome. "The White House" in Madarao. Has a sign saying Open on the door, but it doesn't look like it has been open since maybe 1976. Can anybody beat this level of tackiness? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I always have a chuckle when I go past that. Link to post Share on other sites
Nisoko 6 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 My god, that is bad. Someone should take it down, perhaps in the middle of the night. Bart Simpson would be good at that. Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 How long has that place been closed and just left standing? Can't the community do something about it, I'm sure people must rather it not be there. Link to post Share on other sites
TheOriginalMyoko 0 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I know a few locals who want it down. It always reminds me of Planet of the Apes. That little stretch of road that this is at the top of really needs livening up. I haven't been up there for a while but last time I did it looked like it was a row of about 10 abandoned/closed down shops. Sad. But Madarao seems to be giving it a go and it's a decent place, so lets Madaraoing. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Marvellous. They could perhaps brighten it up with a lick of paint. Bright orange and purple of course. Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I have a good idea. If they change that torch she's holding in her right hand into an ice cream cone and then open up a Baskin Robbins........ Link to post Share on other sites

There is (or at least used to be) one in Roppongi. Its on a big main street just past Lush, the eco-soap place. Link to post Share on other sites
greg 4 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 It may be the same one Mr Wiggles. It was a while ago and it may have been in Tokyo and not Sapporo. I can't remember where I was, I can only remember what it was. lol. Link to post Share on other sites

iiyamadude 6 Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 I have heard that some locals are not happy about it, but nothing can be done about it. The owner is never there, in Tokyo I think, and just basically lets it stand there. I agree though that little stretch does look a bit sorry especially out of season.
