seemore 66 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Gozaimaas Would have been good today with that weather. Mate could you do a restaurant review if you visit the local eateries during your stay. Cheers Seemore Link to post Share on other sites
gozaimaas 61 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 That bluebird day after a week of puking skies is what I live for! I am staying at the resort and have meal tickets for breakfast and dinner so I really wont be heading out of the resort at night. Generally at night I like to head over to rusutsu tower on the monorail to the all you can eat buffet called bon appetite. For breakfast you cannot beat oktoberfest all you can eat buffet. Its a pity we miss each other by a few days, especially as you are going solo, I know what its like travelling alone. Next year we should all T up a date and try to hit the place at the same time, maybe get some "gaijunfest 2013" shirts made up or something lol Link to post Share on other sites
seemore 66 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Yeah I have eaten at the Tower a few times love those crab legs. I was hoping to try a few different places (cheaper) as the dinner vouchers were $65 oz and I thought that was a bit steep I think it works out to only $30 oz if you pay directly. Yeah bummer our paths don't cross not to worry more pow for you. Seemore Link to post Share on other sites

Mate could you do a restaurant review if you visit the local eateries during your stay. Cheers Seemore Seemore, the restaurants outside of the north wing hotel near the main road are all pretty good, we didn't spend more than 5000 yen for 2 of us at all during our trip, including 2-3 drinks each at the restaurants. Pirateman is pretty good too, its around behind the little strip of restaurants, but my pick would be the Izakaya closest to the resort in the little strip of restaurants, I just can't remember the name of it, but I remember that next door to it was an upstairs place with fairy lights up the stairs.

surfarthur 22 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Yes they do have english menus, but some places don't have many, so you may have to share with other tables. RE: Pirateman, yes it is kind of hard to find. If you are standing looking at the little strip of restaurants, there is a short road to the left of the strip. It leads to a T intersection, turn right when you hit that. You will then find a sharp left hand corner, and a smaller road off to the left. The first building down the smaller road is Pirateman. It is only about 200m walk from the strip of restaurants, even though my directions make it seem much further. Link to post Share on other sites
