veronica 2 Posted May 1, 2002 Share Posted May 1, 2002 KAYAMA CAPTAIN COAST - Yes, I get the Kayama (he is a "talent" in Japan), but where on earth has Captain Coast come from. This being in the mountains of Yuzawa an' all. HUNTER MOUNTAIN - Why?? Link to post Share on other sites

rachael 0 Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 We went to NASPA with our family in February, and it's written somewhere on the front of the hotel there. Something typically Japanese Nature And Sports Personal Area/(Activity?) ...so something like that! Link to post Share on other sites

NoFakie 45 Posted May 3, 2002 Share Posted May 3, 2002 Why is Arai always written in capital letters? I HATES CAPITAL LETTERS! little letters is cool Isn't there a place called "Axiom" as well? I bet that's in bloody capital letters as well. Link to post Share on other sites
OzOzOz 2 Posted May 3, 2002 Share Posted May 3, 2002 Axiom is near Koide, but not - alas - using capitals (from what I remember). Here's another question - what's with Hakuba Cortina? Why that then? Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted May 3, 2002 Share Posted May 3, 2002 Hakuba Cortina is named after my late grandfather's ride of choice, and his excessively cautious style of driving. If only he had chosen the Capri instead, Cortina might still allow you to have some fun. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 Is there a Capri resort then? That was the best car out there. Link to post Share on other sites

cal 6 Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 great name for a resort. Maybe they thought, well lets project an all year round image, even though we have sod all when the snow melts away. Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 I asked my skiing Japanese friends. The best they could come up with was - "it gives an all year round image" So there you go. Link to post Share on other sites
