muikabochi 208 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Turns out that the same company that recently bought Muikamachi Ski Resort (and owns Yuzawa Nakazato) has also just bought Centleisure Maiko here in Minamiuonuma. That wasn't expected. Well, not by me anyway! I suppose that with the name of the resort being the name of the company, Maiko will be getting another name change sooner than later. Perhaps they will wait until the end of the season as it's a right old dinger of a time to be changing ski resort names..... Let's Maiko! Link to post Share on other sites

NoFakie 45 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 As the new name, I suggest "Cent Trinian's" I've got some ideas for the new uniforms too! Link to post Share on other sites
Russell's paradox 0 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Ah, it's a company name is it? Was wondering about that......... Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 Yes I think it is. Never liked that name. I hope they go back to Maiko Kogen. Like Kandatsu Kogen did once "Pine Ridge Resorts" ran away at full speed. Link to post Share on other sites

Slippery Jim 65 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Au contraire, we had really really nice wheels. They just didn't work very well until the corners wore smooth. Link to post Share on other sites

SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan#Andrew 6 Posted December 12, 2011 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted December 12, 2011 I was at the Minamiuonuma tourist office earlier today -- picking up 30 lift ticket vouchers -- and asked them about this. It's too late to change the name for this season of course, but we can probably expect the 'Centleisure' to be dropped once the upcoming season is done. I hope they might be encouraged to open up that other lift that has just been standing there doing nothing for 10+ years. Never got on that one. Link to post Share on other sites

brit-gob 9 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Hakkai-san is in Minamiuonuma isn't it? Want to get there this year. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Hakkai-san is in Minamiuonuma isn't it? Want to get there this year. Me too. Just to say I have drunk hakkaisan at hakkai-san. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 Yes it is. Now that really is a trek, close to 15 minute drive! I like Hakkai-san too. Maiko and Hakkai are the best in the town I reckon. Never really taken to Ishiuchi Maruyama. Link to post Share on other sites

tokabochi 9 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Yes. I am not into sake myself, but it seems to have a good reputation. I like the beer. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 Me too I wish I liked sake. I'm just not good with strong alcohol like that. The beer is great though. Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Oh the sake is good too. The skijo is good as well. All good! Link to post Share on other sites
