williamlau 0 Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Are there any ski resorts in Sendai too? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 Sendai? No, surely no. My fave? That will be Hakuba. Link to post Share on other sites
RayInJapan 0 Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 Pink - you mentioned Yuzawa. Is that the Yuzawa near Junes ski-jo? If so, have you been to Junes? Has anyone been to Junes? The only real town I've spent the night in near the slopes is Morioka. Found a nice Jazz bar 100 meters from the hotel so that was cool. All the other places I've been snowboarding at so far don't have any towns near by. Tohoku is like that - pretty much "country living"... Link to post Share on other sites
frannyo 2 Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 I'm pretty sure Pink is talking about Yuzawa in Niigata pref. - I didn't know there WAS another Yuzawa... Yuzawa while not generally being my first choice in terms of the resorts, is usually my first choice just because it is so convenient. Link to post Share on other sites

Fattwins 0 Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 Nelson or fernie. In Japan Hakuba. Link to post Share on other sites
IceEiji 0 Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 That would be Hakuba, I think. The best ski resort feeling is Arai. Link to post Share on other sites
tiron 0 Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Got to be Hakuba or Niseko, like most people probably. Link to post Share on other sites
enderzero 0 Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 After checking out Niseko this weekend I have to say I like the village aspect of that place better than Hakuba. The snow/mountain quality and variety may be up for debate, but I really like the ease of getting around the Hirafu village. Cool restaurants all within easy walking distance of the lifts. In comparison, Hakuba is way more spread out and a car is more necessary. Of course I was only there a few days, but it seemed like a friendlier and more exciting place. I think the ultimate village feel I have seen is Whistler, though. Link to post Share on other sites
