Here are some photos from Hokkaido. This first set is from the first place I stayed, Milky House.
Here is the pension (what they call these small lodges). It's maximum capacity is about 35 customers. They probably have that many people staying there now, it's ski season and it's always very busy in ski season.
There are many mineral springs in the area, this is one of them.
This photo was taken on the day-long trek I did. You can se the path going through a field of bamboo.
This is Fumiko san, one of the people who work at the pension. She's the wife of the owner.
This is Micchan, another friend at the pension. We could communicate prety well despite only limited shared language ability (neither my Japanese nor his English were particularly good).

James, I am fascinated by the shack you lived in. Having just celebrated a religious Christmas it reminds me of the images of the birthplace of Jesus - I am glad you were warm and am sure you have acquired some valuable survival skills on this leg!
Keep up the blogging!
