joshnii 2 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I was in the Yuzawa area this last weekend and driving over from Ishiuchi past the resort on the right hand side, just before you get to Yuzawa, there's this real big ugly mess of what was (I think) a building. It looks like it has exploded or something. What happened? Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan#Andrew 6 Posted April 25, 2005 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted April 25, 2005 I drive past that every day and every day I look at it and wonder the same (...."what happened?!") I think the building exploded around January, I'm pretty sure it was there at the beginning of the season. I'll try and take a picture of it tomorrow to share! Link to post Share on other sites
joshnii 2 Posted April 25, 2005 Author Share Posted April 25, 2005 There used to be a building there, right? Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan#Andrew 6 Posted April 25, 2005 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted April 25, 2005 Yes, the mess is the remains of said building. No idea how it happened though, it just went from building to mess one day.... Link to post Share on other sites

r45 4 Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Nice. Just at the side of the road too. Reminds me of the burnt out cars under the sakura and the people purring over how pretty the sakura is. That was a building at the beginning of the season? Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan#Andrew 6 Posted April 27, 2005 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted April 27, 2005 It sure was. Then something happened (it wasn't the earthquake!) Link to post Share on other sites
joshnii 2 Posted April 28, 2005 Author Share Posted April 28, 2005 Thats the one. Funny, it looks more grotesque when you're there. It's the first thing you see coming into Yuzawa on Route 17. It sure is mangled up. Link to post Share on other sites
ShinyDiscoBall 2 Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 I noticed that when I went up to Maiko this season (nice place that). Still there then. Link to post Share on other sites
snowbender 3 Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 I see messes on sides of roads here all the time, it just doesn't seem to bother people that much. I bet those people in that mansion/flats whatever behind there don't complain either. Link to post Share on other sites
sanjo 2 Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 They've started moving it at last. Strong winds down in Yuzawa today, and rain as we were leaving just before. Link to post Share on other sites
