thursday 1 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 After some SJFers visited Niseko for the first time, they were so blown away that they vowed to come back for more. Only next time, on a tour of Hokkaido. Given the destination and perhaps the time for Feb 2011, what would be a good itinerary for the SJFers tour? All suggestions welcomed for an enjoyable discussion. Perhaps this would get off the ground if the timings and places are to people's liking. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I'd definitely be up for that especially when you buy that penthouse in the Vale! Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 oops, sorry, a clarification. A tour of resorts in Hokkaido. Link to post Share on other sites
ausi ski bum 1 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I am doing that right now, I am visiting the major resorts of Furano, Tomamu and Sahoro, done Rusutsu and Niseko already. I am also visiting Sounyko and Abashiri and finding lots of smaller stops along the way. Hire a car and go exploring for three weeks. Link to post Share on other sites
quattro 1 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Ski Bum has a good trip it sound like. Niseko, Kiroro, Tiene, Furano, Tomamu. There are a bunch of little areas around that are worth a visit. Niseko Moiwa and Chisenupuri if its been snowing is good. I may be interested in hooking up with you guys from down south for a week or so. Have wheels so may be able to help with some of the transport or logistics. Link to post Share on other sites

RobBright 35 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 We need to define dates really - GN, any chance we could crash at yours for a bit? As Sapparo-providing customers unless Thursday buys the penthouse at the Vale? Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Pow 52 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I've skied: Niseko, Moiwa, Chisenupuri Rusutsu Kiroro, Sapporo Kokusai Mt Racey, Tomamu Kamui, Kurodake, Asahidake and would return to all of them Link to post Share on other sites
quattro 1 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Could have three bases and run trips from their. Niseko, Sapporo and Asahiakawa Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I might be interested - I certainly want to check out Hokkaido and it would be fun. My problem would be not knowing dates until much much nearer the time. But I would be interested in joining up for at least part probably. Link to post Share on other sites

Racey or Tomamu but would like to check those out. Thursday, any of the above. Plus I would love to spend more time at Tokachidake but I think it would have to be Spring bc the time we spent up there it was virtually closed out daily by weather.

The guy who bought the 4 bedroom penthouse at The Vale (probably the most expensive apartment in the village) chose not to rent it out. Just keeping it for his own holidays.
