oblivion 5 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Choosing the most talked about ski resort in Japan was always going to be too easy hey? It sure it, the magnificent Mt Granview. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 If you look closely you'll see proof of that new gondola being built. I have adjusted the contrasts etc in the image Link to post Share on other sites
gerard 6 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 cheeky Really doesn't look like much! Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 You can't get a feel for a place by an overhead shot. Not Mt Granview anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
sanjo 2 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Magnificent looking place isn't it? Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Yes, it was the visible signs of construction of the high-speed gondola and underground shinkansen station that gave it away. Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Hmmm. Without going through all the maps, I don't know that one either. Interesting looking shape to the place. Link to post Share on other sites

hellyer 216 Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 I just checked on Google earth - Looks like you got it Oblong - well done And a tricky pick Metabo - I only started searching Fukoshima Link to post Share on other sites
sanjo 2 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I don't think it is, look on the satellite view here and compare http://www.snowjapan.com/e/resorts/resort_map.php?resortNo=86 Link to post Share on other sites
sanjo 2 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Not that I know where it is! Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Tengendai it is! It is of course in Yamagata, snowjunky, though on the border with Fukushima, just over the other side of the mountain from Grandeco. Check your satellite view again, Sanjo. I clipped out the access road and ropeway, and consequently the SJ tag as well, leaving only the ski area itself. And take it away, Oblong! Link to post Share on other sites
