Karuizawa Photos – Ski Weekend
New photos have been posted in the gallery from weekend skiing in Karuizawa, Nagano – Japan.
We set out from Tokyo central station early on a Saturday morning (after a late & loud Friday experiencing the nightlife of Tokyo)
A rapid breakfast before jumping on the shinkansen (bullet train) to Karuizawa, which does indeed move like a bullet. FAST. Along the way we caught sight of Mt. Fuji in the distance, the perfect symmetry of Fuji-san made for a magnificant backdrop to our journey.
After a full day skiing, we headed to the nearby onsen, for a scorching hot soak in an outdoor bath, surround by snow. It was perfect, all the muscle aches soothed away
from the spring water.

Pretty cool pictures and good to see that you got some skiing in 🙂 – although it would have been better if you could have made it to Europe… Next year!!!
(ps – for some reason the skiing pics never made it to my feed reader)
Yeah, it wasn’t huge. Actually it was a very small resort, but at least it was good to get on the snow anyway.
Hmmm. That’s strange the feeder didn’t get those. Which feeds are you following? and are you still getting updates now?
I love the Cart
Funny cart eh. Electric powered. It like some sort of shagadelic wagon. 😉
