hellyer 216 Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 What brought you to that area, SJ? Well I didn't want to post anything from where I have been as it is pretty much all online here in pics or vids and too easy to guestimate by just naming Noz, myoko, madarao, shiga etc. So I picked a random japanesy pic off the web with snow in it. Devious huh? - It's no good getting old if you can't get cunning as my old dad used to say. Any way good job picking it. I did not think it would take long after I said it was an onsen town. After checking out more about Kinasaki and surrounds it is on my list to visit Have you been there? Link to post Share on other sites
gerard 6 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Never been to that town. There are a bunch of ski areas within around an hour's drive from there but Hachikita's the only one worth checking out. Nice area but as far as skiing goes, it's better further north/east.

hellyer 216 Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 Too fast! Those who have answered and won before need to give everyone else 24 hours go at it! Hey!!... I resemble that remark. If you check the times it took me 9 hours of constant study and cross referencing to come up with the answer. or it could have been that Ger needed to crop the bottom of the pic a wee bit higher - a cunningly left clue Ger Just heading out will post a pic in a couple of hours - an easy one I promise Link to post Share on other sites

zebedee 1 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 BTW, how does that Prince compare with the somewhat ahem old-style of Naeba? Link to post Share on other sites
hellyer 216 Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 I have skiid past the Prince at Yakabitai plenty of times on the way to the Gondy but have not stayed there or at Naeba. Footnote to oneself - must make the pic a tad harder next post Link to post Share on other sites

HotMagma 0 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Dunno but wasn't impressed with that Naeba one when I had a look inside. Looked like it needed to be brought up to date. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I haven't been in for ages but I thought that parts of it had had a renewal thing going on. May be wrong. Link to post Share on other sites
