2. Suginohara

Reviewed By dalliance47 - Tweed Heads, Australia
Mt Myoko is a much quieter ski area than nearby Hukuba. The area is better catered for families, especially where some are yet to achieve the skill needed to ski like a pro. Of the several resorts on the mountain, Suginohara excels. The wide runs offer many Green and Red (Blue elsewhere) run options. And, for families, kids under 14 ski free. Unlike other resorts nearby, nearly all the lifts are of the newer (fast) style. The only 'downer' is that the (old) access lift often opns after the rest have opened. This means that to enjoy 1st tracks, one must drive a car to the 'base' area. This access lift should open at least 15 minutes (better 30 minutes) before the Gondola. There are plenty of good food options. So, unless you are a black level skier, you will have lots of fun.

The biggest draw of Kagura is great powder snow due to its high altitude. The ski area also has easy access to the backcountry area that attracts expert riders from all over the world. Stay at Wada Goya, a mountain hut on the ski hill, and enjoy the pure first track in the morning.

Came here for a short spring skiing sprint. Loved it. Snow was good and very quiet. Lifts were fine, and food on the mountain was reasonable. It was our first time here but would not hesitate to come back. Plus point is it’s proximity to Tokyo and the ease to get to it.

7. Imayo Tsukasa Sake Brewery
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 160 reviews
For foreign customers : You can enjoy tax-free shopping in our shop from June 1, 2018! Imayo Tsukasa started as an inn and sake shop. From the late Edo period to the early Meiji era, Niigata was said to have a higher population than Edo. Since the middle of the Meiji era Imayo Tsukasa has been a fully dedicated sake brewery. The Niigata soil was fertile, the Agano water was clean, and we built a facility in Nuttari, a hub for Japanese fermented goods like miso, sake and soy sauce. Wanting to review our brand and reflect on our brewing method, In 2006 Imayo Tsukasa vowed to be an “only-junmai” company. It’s not easy. Because you can’t add anything to adjust taste or alcohol content, you have to take extra special care of the rice in every step of the process. We value the importance of producing nothing but high-level sake, working hard to make only premium sake. These include Junmai Daiginjo, Junmai Ginjo and Junmaishu.

I came here as a last minute stop in Niigata before heading home. I was able to get a tour in English and it was very informative about the sake brewing process and the culture behind it! The tour guide was very friendly and was helpful when I had a question. I unfortunately was driving so I couldn’t sample the sake, but for 1000 yen you can try a variety of the sake they have. I really liked their amazake (non-alcoholic sweet sake). They are also one of the only few dozen breweries in Japan to use wooden barrels when making sake. The gift shop had a lot of sake choices and flavors! I’m totally glad I came here.

I could kinda ski. I thought I had the basics, but I thought a lesson or two wouldn’t hurt to boost the confidence. Pete had me pegged instantly and started showing me ways to improve within the first 50 metres. He introduced skills in a way where you could easily incorporate the previous with the next layer. Control over my skis improved drastically as the skills increased. Pete soon had me tackling slopes I would have never dreamed of, but with the lessons learnt, they were not out of my comfort zone. Pete’s instruction is easy to understand and with demonstration, easy to follow. With his expertise and experience, I’m sure any skier would be able to learn a thing or two from Pete. Thanks Pete.
