cal 6 Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 Hi guycalled0. I'm not in Akita but I have been to Tazawako and had a really cool time up there. Nice place, nice and quiet. Where abouts do you live? Link to post Share on other sites

akibun 0 Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 Akita is a beautifal place to visit. I have been 3 times to the area and think it is really nice. Link to post Share on other sites
Nat 0 Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 Snow upthere is ... slightly heavy, but .... Nyuto-Onsen Ski-jo (Top part of Tazawako Ski-jo) has good snow, But slopes itself are really short, kind of boring staff. Or... In the Tazawako Ski-jo - "Champione course (or something like that name) you can take powder. That's it. Link to post Share on other sites
