Snowhaus 0 Posted November 18, 2001 Share Posted November 18, 2001 First time to post on this DB, so hi all! I'm applying for the JET programme for 2002 with +1. We're applying for Hokkaido and were going to put the Niseko area as our first preference, but can anyone suggest other places that could be good if you're living there for twelve months? Skiing-wise, +1 is an advanced telemarker/ alpine skier, and I'm a beginner telemarker/ high intermediate alpine skier. We both love the outdoors and want an area that can keep us occupied in Summer with hiking, cycling, climbing, whatever. Any suggestions? Link to post Share on other sites
zebedee 1 Posted November 18, 2001 Share Posted November 18, 2001 Don't know about living, but for winter sports......try these regions: Furano, Tomamu, Rusutsu, Kiroro, Otaru (a bit out but more of a city). Sometimes people forget that there is MUCH MORE to Hokkaido than just Niseko. Link to post Share on other sites
will 0 Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 zebedee pretty much summed it up there, not much else to add. Would try northen Tohoku and some of the great places in Aomori and Yamagata too if I were you. Great places. Link to post Share on other sites
