    The torch lit ski procession sounds pretty special. How are the pizzas from the man at Hirafu intersection? If that's what he's doing. I'd like to get up to Niseko at some point. Any recommendations on places to stay. Low-mid range budget.

    Interesting list! Heard plenty of good things about this Niseko Ramen. I had a couple of mates to the seishun 18 kippu thing from Tokyo to Niseko once. Sounded like a pretty touch journey. I think they managed in it a couple of days. Thanks for posting.

    The pizza man is a mascot of course! I can vouch for his shop though, they're pretty tasty pies @DaveJpn Moorea Lodge, Popcorn Lodge and My Ecolodge are all pretty affordable places to check out for accom options here.
