Bummer that the bamboo is still visible.

I just got back from Niseko and found the gates to be an absolute gong show—like nothing I have ever seen. Hundreds of people with no gear and no clue skiing on top of each other on steep slopes. ...

Currently snowing hard in Niseko. Yesterday was deep.

Leave Saturday for Niseko, hopefully conditions continue to improve.

I plan on taking the train. Wish I had more time, but the red light district at 830 AM is appealing.

Lovely photo.

I'm visiting for the first time in January... After my flight from Tokyo, my plan is to get a room at the airport and head into Sapporo in the morning for some sightseeing. Any...
