Go to a hot spring after enjoying the snow!

Many ski resorts dot the Geihoku and Bihoku areas in Hiroshima Prefecture and are easy to get to by expressway! Rental services for sleds and snowsuits are now available at resorts, so you don’t have to bring a lot baggage
(booking equipment in advance is advisable).
After enjoying the snow, relax at a nearby spa and warm up before
* Tire chains or snow tires must be used when driving in the snow. Check the weather forecast and road information carefully before going out.

"I Could Ski every Day".


"I could honestly ski every day", just as long as my body would let me. We have been three time this year and with lots of day passes in the 'back burner', we are defiantly going to go some more. Geihoku Kokusai 芸北国際 will be the ski field we will try and get to as often as possible.



Now this is not the way to celebrate the coming of the ski season. Winners don't drink like this. They normally sit at a table. But I don't think there is a table big enough for this bottle. We struggled to get it through the door.

The ski season is also upon us and I will be heading out to as many of Hiroshima ski fields as the winter pregresses. Its a bit early in the season now but rest assured, there will be plenty of good day to be had in the coming months.




This is a mountain I skied many time last season. It is only a 1 hours drive from Hiroshima city and if you get up there on a week day, you can have a lot of terrain to yourself. Just the way we like it. There are sometimes cheap tickets for sale on line, so have a shop around and see whats what!





Now what ever you level, all of the ski fields around Hiroshima have all kinds of runs for all kinds of preferences. I would prefer it if they would just rip away the ropes and let us tear up all the terrain. But here in Japan you have to make safety the number one priority.
