🙌 UPOPOY 🙌
The Ainu are the original ethnic people of Hokkaido. It is estimated that there are only 25,000 Ainu people still in existence!
However, at Upopoy, the National Ainu Museum and Park in Hokkaido, huge efforts are being made to preserve and showcase the culture.
From live performances to hands-on arts and crafts by the Ainu people themselves, this truly is a word class facility and well worth a visit!
Video and photography of the traditional performances is prohibited. But on our visit, we were extremely lucky to catch a rare outdoor sunset performance, in which spectators were invited to join in!
The audio is our actual recording from the performance. Note how it differs from traditional Japanese music.
Would you like to visit Upopoy on your Goneski adventure? Let us know! 🙏

Well, if you like laid-back sunny days, zero crowds, and YES, the occasion surprise powder day, our last Haru Yasumi spring tour maybe for you!

❄THAT'S ALL FOLKS!❄
Our last Powder Tour of the season is done and dusted. With a record low snowfall for February, we were kept on our toes to deliver the goods!😥
Never the less, as always we watched the weather like a hawk, bending and tweeking the itinerary every day to always put our peeps in the right place at the right time!💪
As you can see, once again, we nailed it. Not only did we find the powder, we were skiing places with no one else around... Just saying😎
Skiing, eating, onsening, dancing, our last Powder Tour of the season was a slam dunk!🙌
🌿🌿RUMBLE IN THE JUNGLE🌿🌿
The snow gods have gotten off to a slow start this season with the Sasa grass still poking through. Never the less, our first Goneski crew of the season nailed it, finding fresh turns every single day!🙌
Every morning we watched the weather closely, choosing the best resort of the day at the very last moment... in some cases just 15 minutes before we went out the door... flexibility, THAT'S the Goneski difference!😎
With Christmas fun at local resorts, midnight madness at the downtown shrine on news years eve, superb food and an absolutely amazing first crew, the first Goneski Tour of the season was a total success... Happy New Year everyone!
⛷🏂🇯🇵🙌❄❄❄
