Tokyo Rasu's Day Off

Monday was a public holiday.

Thanks to some tips from the crazy park rats at the Burton shop, I had a plan.

First problem, 05.30 - who is gonna win, the plan, or the mattress?


06.01 - rolling - the plan wins!

Tokyo central station. Looks like we need the 06.32 to Gala...


Yep, bullet train, or in Nihongo; Shinkansen... fast!




09.03 - Gala station, Yuzawa prefecture. The gondola up the mountain comes right out of the train station. It's like living in the future.

This is taken from top of the gondola looking at the first chairlift.


Nice views!




I clearly got a lot more AIR than this guy....



Nice weather, not too busy, nice people, nice slopes...



Some good options for lunch. I went for hamburger patty with curry sauce on rice and a beer.

Good times.

And home by 6pm! how nice is that. Sore feet, bit of a rest, no worries.
