skidaisuki 0 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Understand there are a lot of Hong Kong Chinese visiting Hakuba as well, and they didn't get a mention at all... Seeing all this sudden interest makes me feel old, having been skiing at various resorts in Japan for a mere 11 years. I guess the strength of the Aussie dollar against the yen has a lot to do with it. Link to post Share on other sites
TJ OZ 0 Posted February 11, 2007 Author Share Posted February 11, 2007 There is a push from the local Japanese community here in Hakuba who are wanting the area to progress. I am sure that they are behind a lot of whats happening within the media. I know we hear on the forums everyone's varying opinions on what Hakuba should be doing but I do know that council are looking at some of the issues that get raised including increasing the areas international profile.

thursday 1 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Well, when we visit a place, we want to be under the radar. It ain't hard in Japan, and that's part of the attraction. Link to post Share on other sites
johndknm 0 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 well im dissappointed that no one has mentioned the cute babies in this thread yet in fact based on the kawaii factor we experienced i wouldnt be surprised if the real reason the crew came was for Hunter and Naomi!

keba 0 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 My Japanese isn't all that good, and I thought the news story WAS about the babies... The little boy is espcially cute, his father must be very handsome indeed Link to post Share on other sites
