I've heard there is an indoor ski dome somewhere in Japan. Is this true? Snowboarding seasons almost over; looking for alternative place to snowboard.

google is your friend....

try searching on something like "indoor ski japan"

A link like this might come up.

damn, no slopes within a six-hour drive of my house.

Ah well. I'll just add that onto the list of other conveneniences I don't get, like the shinkansen and konbinis. Stupid inaka....:P

I bet you have karaoke and pachinko! I think there must be a law somewhere that these buildings are required before residential buildings can be built.

Do you offer tours of your inaka? :)

the karaoke and pachinko are as far away as the konbinis and train stations, amazingly. my part of the inaka (i.e., anything within a 15-minute drive) is just rice fields, houses, and little general stores that are kind of like konbinis only without a refrigerator section, and they're only open on certain hours of the day.

Hey, if you want to come up and see my part of the inaka, you're welcome to it. There's tons of nature up here. And lots of....well, more nature. But it's lovely nature! :D

I wouldn't say the link has complete information. I didn't check the validity of the source or cross reference it with other sites.

Nature is cool! I imagine your area must be rather pitcturesque, but wow I think I'd go a bit stir crazy. Hello Amazon. Hello tons of books.

Becareful what you wish for! We could organize a little OP9 get together in Aomori during a school break. Then again the residents would probably faint at a gaijin invasion. (Maybe that's all the more reason to do it!)
