Well, we've arrived at our first host establishment near Niseko Village on Hokkaido. We were in transit for 27 hours yesterday and slept very soundly in Sapporo at a beautiful Best Western. We took trains along the ocean and through the mountains to reach our destination today. The further into the mountains the more the girls got excited. They could smell the mountain air and feel the cool breeze on the train. Our host picked us up at the train station and brought us to their place. We Had a tour of their place and had dinner with the family. They have three children ages 8, 6, and an 8 month old. We will fit right in!
This establishment is a Registered Japan Youth Hostel and called Niseko Fugiyama Karimpari. It's an old elementary school building converted into an inn. The ski season is their busiest so tonight and this time of year is very quiet. We had a fine meal and really need a good nights rest. Off to an Oruro and cozy bed.
