For example Teine was a winter olympic run (1972) and is still reasonable - whilst enjoying that "cosmopolitan" city feel.<br /><br />Niseko/Hirafu are good locations, but also there's a high proportion of foreigners there (especially Australians) - so many people feel that it's not that Japanese. Yotei-zan does make for an impressive backdrop however - and is known as Hokkaido's Fuji.<br /><br />Just out of curiosity J_A - where was the photo taken? I've been trying to guess. Do you have any favourite spots around Niseko? Also - by late April, you will find that the only people skiing are locals... the snow's barely passable (for Australia perhaps), but is wet and not so good by Japanese standards.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10245689060247741542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045859997804888278.post-1157273503720429652011-08-10T16:09:28.332+09:002011-08-10T16:09:28.332+09:00I'm definitely going to Hokkaido one day1 :)I'm definitely going to Hokkaido one day1 :)linahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17273605189937933589noreply@blogger.com
