I've always wanted to learn sking, and Hokkaido has always been one of the places in Japan that I havecn't been yet. Now it makes me so want to go especially it seems like you can learn to ski easy'ish. With this little pump, you don't need to wait 5 years now!

Haha yeah just noticed it's gone up again. I'm rich!!
Although I almost bankrupted myself going Hokkaido so I guess it's break even now.
Hokkaido is so lovely with or without skiing. You can even go on an icebreaker ship cruise on the north side! But just to experience the winter wonderland feel of things, with public services built to accommodate it, is worth a trip in and of itself. Some of the train rides along the snowy coast were the prettiest fantastical journeys I've ever taken! (And they were just regular trains for commuters, not some tourism thing)
It's been a long time since I've been to Japan. Used to go quite often for my visa run when I was in Taiwan. Next time I go, I want to spend at least two months there. It's one of the few places I can drive abroad if needed
2 months would be amazing! (I need to learn to drive first)
