The Best of Japanese Winter in Niigata - A Weekend Trip

Ойын-сауық

And this was the weekend I found out the reason they call Niigata “Snow Country” 😍 I really miss living in Tokyo purely for all the amazing places so close by! Such a great weekend getaway :)

    The little kids reminded of a time we were skiing in Japan. We standing at the top of a run watching the kids go down. Heck they're good. But there was a fenced off hole cliff thing in the middle of the run. One little girl was nonchalantly belting down towards it. All the onlookers around us, mostly Japanese, started going OOOOOOOOOHH!!! louder and louder as she got closer. We all did because we thought a tragedy was unfolding. But this little legend just skidded to a stop just before the fence and turned and looked up the hill at us and shrugged as if to say, What!? 😂 It is hilariously humiliating to be attacking a black run as if your life depends on it and then see group of 8 year olds just breeze past. Winter in Japan is the best even if you're not skiing. Which I think is what you were doing Hannah - not skiing 😂 Kidding! I think I spend almost as much time on my arse in the snow as standing up. 😂

    This is why Japan is so strong in the Winter Olympics. People in northern part of Japan all learn winter sports such as skiing from childhood. In Niigata, even children as young as five years old can ski.

    In a recent video, you comment about being unfamiliar with dressing like and adult. Here, when you back into the snow wall, you reveal the refreshing charm of staying in close touch with the kid within. Long may it remain so. Onya, lassie. The new snow coats the world with a refreshing veneer of cleanliness which lifts the spirits - when you're NOT the one doing the shovelling!
