Japan 2012-2013

Hey guys, we went to Niseko last year and had an epic time, we are going again this year and into next. Can anyone recommend any other resorts in Hokkaido? We have 3 weeks in total for boarding and then another 10 days for seeing the sights. Last year we also went to Nozawa Onsen, great little resort and the fire festival was so good. Basically we are just wanting to hear anymore good destinations.

Cheers

I really loved Rusutsu. I went there for the first time this year. (it is the resort that you sometimes see with Roller Coasters in the background)

Here is a bit of footage from a day we went.

Hey Ozgirl,

Great video, i took a few with a gopro while at niseko this year, i didnt have the helmet mount only the headband and it was a bit bumpy, but still wicked and those big face shots really come up well. We were going to go to there for a few days in january, but it was too good in Niseko and we couldnt drag ourselves away from there. Can you give us a bit of a lowdown on the costs and how good it is. I have heard its pricey! We are definatle going back to Hokkaido in jan next year for a month, and will go to 2 different resorts, we were thinking of Rusutsu. Any info will be greatly appreciated

Cheers
