Day 13-Gong to Tokyo


On Saturday we left Hakuba to go to Tokyo for a few days before we fly up to Sapporo to go shredding at Niseko. We timed it sweet, as on Friday night it absolutely poured with rain and the resorts around Hakuba copped it pretty bad. Getting to Ikebukuro, (where we were staying in Tokyo) was hectic, as we had to carry all of the above luggage, (and then some), through Tokyo Station, then through Ikebukuro Station, which also conveniently happens to be the 2nd biggest train station in the world. It was like trying to carry everything you own through the crowd at the MCG after a grand final...

The damage the rain and above zero temps had done in Hakuba

This is cool i think, these are rice fields in Hakuba, I thought it would be too cold there to grow rice, (even in the summer), but there you go...
