Niseko : What,where,how and stuff ?
So, in short.
Once upon time me and Mrs.Meathelmet pondered where to go on the upcoming honeymoon, and avot!
Japan! And not only japan, but hokkaido, and for skiing...
Talk about a gem for a girl.
Well, that settlet, i read an old article in Skiingmag about the The Woodpecker Inn (?), where a local keeps a small in with some kind of B&B with his family.
Anybody been at that lodge, or happen to have any info about that?
The Mrs. got intrested if we could stay in that place for 2 weeks or so.
I found practically no info on that subject in the net, only couple obscure websites in japan.Wich i dont happen to speak...
Any info about this, or any other small,comfy,down-to-earth,reasonable price hostell/inn/what ever would greatly be appriciated.
Also, anyone have any good links to some stories or pictures about skiing in niseko?
I know the offpist culture is quite different in japan, but niseko being a exeption to that, out-of-bounds being tolerated quite well there.
Any first hand experience would be nice and stuff..
What about Gai-Jins? Is there lot of gringos or local bum like people?
Since i´m with missus there, i might have some temptations to go to do some skinning/hiking around the Niseko and/or Hokkaido, any possibilities that the could be some likminded people around?
Or only japanese honeymooners and CEOs?
We´ll hit osaka or tokyo in the 15 of february,and head up north asap.
Any recommendations about the transportation?
Heard that the bullet train goes quite smoothly up till Sapporo, but the price is supposedly almost the same as if you would fly..
On the return leg we´ll prolly stay in tokyo for couple of days, checking out the town and prolly kioto.
Awww.
Suushi...
I think ill go and grab some now.
Ps. Wasnt Toque in japan for the last season? Some other maggots, please chime in if you have some info..
EDIT : Dammit, forgot the most important stuff...
What about the The Woodpecker Inn (?) in niseko? Read the article in a old Skiingmag about this comfy family kept inn wich´s owner was the unofficial niseko area avy forecaster.
Anybody have any info about that place?
Is there possibility to stay for,lets say, 2 weeks? I got the impression that it is a B & B style place..
Mrs.Meathelmet got really intrested in that place...that freak.
Or, if you have any recomendations about some low-key,comfy and affordable lodging, i would appreciate it..

The floggings will continue until morale improves.
