Today was a bit better than yesterday so we went out skiing for a while and took a few photos of us both skiing & boarding. I had a better day skiing today as the wind had blown some of the powder off the runs so it wasn’t as thick to battle with. Its weird watching your ski’s disappearing under the snow and not feeling the base under you as you’re floating on top of the snow.
The weather started to close in so we decided to call it quits about 3pm and head out to the Glass Forest just outside of Furano.
As there are no buses running out to the Rokugo Area during winter we had to get a taxi out there. We got told it would be about ¥3000 each way but it turned out to be ¥5600 each way but it was definitely worth it!!
So after a very snowy taxi drive we arrived in the little town of Rokugo and pulled up to a very simple building, we walked into the pure beauty of the glass forest. Everywhere you look there was sparkles and colour, as we walked through the different showrooms we were more and more impressed and dazzled by the workmanship that was before us.
The showroom was broken up into 7 different and distinct display areas.
Needless to say we bought quite a few things here.
