  3. Foreign interest in Japan's snowy Myoko highlands has become a double-edged sword for many locals as it threatens overdevelopment, sky-high prices and could sweep away traditional culture. japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/03/ #japan #myoko #niigata #tourism

  4. Oh noes! Not the same ##KashiwazakiKariwa nuclear facility that falsified data about seawater temperature, radioactive iodine releases and other falsifications, and near where the #JapanEarthquake2024 struck? NOT a good idea! Sounds like #JapanGov has NOT learned its lesson! "#TEPCOLies is close to obtaining approval to restart Unit 7 of its Kashiwazaki-Kariwa #NuclearPowerPlant in #Niigata prefecture."

  5. Day 24 - Ikenotaira Alpen Blick - (sorry for the lack of updates these past few days) This is from January 1st. Happy new year everyone. I proved that I can still drink till the wee hours celebrating a new year and get out to the ski resort for first tracks. I also broke out the new Zuma skis for the fresh powpow that fell overnight. Great day! I skied 4 runs, 10km.

  6. Day 16 - Alpen Blick - Yesterday was gorgeous bluebird skies, and despite the snow shortage, surprisingly good conditions at Myoko’s Alpen Blick Ski Resort’s opener on Christmas Eve Day. I skied 9 runs, 17.3 km. It was also great to meet a fellow mastodon community member for the first time irl!

    Merry Christmas everyone.
