JAPAN 2012 / 2013
thank me later =p…when your sleeping on the floor
*ahem* tatami
Haha thanks mate. From what I’ve seen a single room is usually a little bit cheaper than the total of a double room for two people which I’m happy enough with and 10000y/night would be acceptable. As much as I like traditional Japan I’m not sure how tatami would go after 2 weeks of snowboarding in (hopefully) powder!
Need a decent option for both Myoko and Nozawa I might start getting in contact with some of the recommended places over there and ask them if they have single rates.
I am yet to go the tatami floor with futon, but they reckon it’s pretty damn comfy!!!!!
I will be testin out this theory myself when in Nozawa this Feb!!!!!

I am not sure why they have become obsessed with the size of the bags! This is crazy!
But glad i had already decided not to take my ski’s on my trip!
