Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Tateshina Tokyu Well done, onehunga, it is indeed Tateshina Tokyu. It is the only ski area with a single chair lift in the Tateshina area. If you look closely at a couple of the photos from the ski area, you can make out the tea-tray lift chairs. Clues to the general region: --Lake Suwa, known for the "Omiwatari" phenomenon where a crack in the ice sheet extends across the lake surface; the crack is traditionally taken to be the footprints of a male deity from one side of the lake visiting a female deity on the other side of the lake. --Shokoji, a temple known for its sakura festival. --The "Venus of Jomon," prehistoric clay figurine excavated near the base of Yatsugatake, after which was (presumably) named the... --Venus Line, formerly known as the Tateshina Toll-Road, a scenic highway through the mountains of the Tateshina Kogen area. --Chino, the name of the town in which the ski area is located, is also the name of a '70s western starring Charles Bronson as the title character. As for the the name of the ski area itself, the red bus is on route 109 -- Tokyu. Take it away, onehunga! Link to post Share on other sites
