JAPAN 2012 / 2013
I like the pic of DRC’s pillows more than yours Andy!!!!!
Have a blast dude!!!!!
Make sure that ya keep us posted on what’s happenin over there!!!!!
And don’t forget to push Warren’s nose into the snow when he turns up!!!!! (just make sure it’s at least a meter deep, so ya don’t break it)
I’m heading to Hakuba for 12 days from Jan18th staying in Echoland.
Wondering how hard it is to get around the place for grabbing dinner/beers? Is it walkable?
Echoland - you’re in the heart of it! You’ll have no probs
Echoland is good and has everything you will need but venture out to other areas (12 days you will be over the same bars and restruants I think!) but the other areas of Hukuba are not really walkable! So if you want to venture elsewhere there is a local bus but you will have to catch a cab back.
“The Pub” in Wadano is good, they have bands but the food is very westernised (just a heads up)
And I loved the Mexican at the base of Happo-One - Uncle Steve’s (or Something equally Caucasian LOL)
Emu near the train station has great Japanese that is cheap. There are of course other places which are more touristy expensive. (windy for example - but i think the will come and get you and drop you home so that is good!)
Cheers guys. I’m going for a week with a group of 5 and then another 5 days on my own. I’ll be sure to get some variety in over the whole trip.
The view out from my friends front door in Niseko!
