Snowboarding in Japan at our local mountain in 2024 日本スノーボード

Snowboarding in Japan in Okayama at a Hiruzen Bear Valley Resort and a visit to Yubara Onsen Hot Springs. Not a lot of snow in 2024 but an easy 1 hour and 15 minute drive from our house. 10 year old Keito is getting very good. You can see what it's like to live in Japan and how to order food at a typical resort restaurant and what a good value snowboarding is in Japan

Hey! Bird Fly here. Thank you SO much for bringing me back to the Japow for a little bit! My heart continues to break over leaving. More everyday Japan, please!

Hi Bird Fly ! Thanks for the comment. I'm glad you liked the video...Japan IS a SPECIAL place...I'll try to make more everyday videos for you :)

You guys have a great relationship. That little dude looks like he’s gonna be a master on the board. Great life guys.

Thanks Jim...Keito is a great kid ! It took three years for him to get the hang of snowboarding, but now he's confident and FAST !

Love your video! What a lovely day on the mountains. Wish we could do day trips like that for skiing/boarding. There were hardly anyone on the slopes! Keito looks so cool shredding! Love the onsen in the open too!

Thanks Chrisann...We had a great day despite the mediocre conditions and small size of the mountain...The Onsen does make the trip more worth it too...Hopefully we can squeeze in one more trip to Nagano in March.

That's great Daniel! Jimmy and I are heading to Japan again next month, only for a short 5 days. Will explore a bit of Gunma this time :-) @@diyforlife2809
