We're off to Japan on Wednesday, so here are some links you might be interested in if you don't know much about our trip. If you click on the words, you'll be taken to the relevant website for further information.
We are going to Niseko, which is on the north island of Hokkaido in Japan. The resort is a 2 hour bus ride west from Chitose, Sapporo's international airport. Niseko is actually a small town which serves as a base to three separate ski resorts -- Hirafu, Higashiyama and Annapuri. An "All Mountain Pass" and free buses mean we can choose any mountain on the day
We are staying at Lodge Ronde, in simple, Japanese style rooms (two single beds as the Japanese don't have double beds). We then spend 10 nights at the resort.
On 5 February, we're back to Sapporo to check out the opening of the Sapporo Snow Festival with two million other people (!) staying one night at the very swish Hotel Monterey Edelhof. It was tough getting accommodation!
Then three nights in Toyko in the Shinagawa prefecture staying at the Prince.
Stayed tuned for more!
