Tokyo, Sapporo and Niseko – Japan

niseko-5170

This is the second year in a row I have flown out to Japan to snowboard with a group of friends from England. The amount of snow in Japan is insane, after numerous rocky European seasons it’s unreal to be in so much fresh powder! However getting out here is a lot harder than just popping on a plane to France for an hour… First there is an 11 hour flight to Tokyo, then you hop on a transfer plane up to Sapporo, at least that’s the plan… When we arrived in Tokyo it turn out it was snowing so hard in Sapporo that our flight was cancelled, in fact some planes had even flown up there only to turn back without landing. We were all pretty gutted not to be going up straight away, but Tokyo had been a lot of fun the previous year so we were not too upset!
