if your plan will push thru, sama ako...tapos yayain ko rin iba kong friends para mas masaya... teka... pwede ba?:D

taga fukushima ako but i haven't seen the aizuwakamatsu castle. i just hope there will be a heavy snow this season... dahil last winter season, the snow volume(my place) won't last a week. but i am not sure(snow volume) in the exact place where the castle is?

suggestions?...have you tried snow boarding? or any sports related to snow? me and my friends are also planning to have one. if you are willing, we could coincide with your plans in going here.;)

[KikoyBalayon]

i think nasa bandai region sya ng fukushima(around mt. bandai).. medyo nasa gitna mismo ng fukushima-ken..

i heard marami daw snow resorts sa bandai region... Jan.14(Monday) would be a holiday(coming of age day) so the weekend before that would be most likely.. confirm ko pa sa senpai ko kung may pasok sa araw na yan..

[shintaro]

friday or saturday before january 14 is your plan, right? i'll discuss with my friends regarding that. just keep me posted, ok?;)

[KikoyBalayon]

ok pre...

btw.. post lang ako pic from flickr.. eto yung pic ng castle around early january..

nagpapainggit ka, Kiks!

di ba puwede sumama ang girls sa lakwatsa?
baka nga lang masira ang diskarte mong mag-Brokeback, ehek :hihi:

[KikoyBalayon]

hmmm... may bakante pa naman sa midnight bus eh.. kaya lang binubuo ko pa lang yung plano namin.. undecided pa rin yung agenda.. (pero mostly photoshoots to kaya baka ma-OP ka.. hehehe)

so far, eto yung mga dapat mapuntahan(hindi ko lang alam kung kaya in one day)..

tsuruga castle in aizuwakamatsu

inawakashiro lake, swan beach(i hear swans migrate to the lake every winter season at sobrang dami daw sila)

kitakata ramen.. hehe

iimoriyama hill(kung saan naging bayani ang byakkotai.. shrine sya hehe)

researching pa rin...

[hanikami]

wala naman akong problema sa girigiri ang sked (nadaanan ko na rin yang paghahabol ng oras para makahabol ng bus at mapuntahan lahat ng gusto kong lugar) at kahit photoshoot (am no photographer in your calibre but I finally got a digicam and would like to try it out).

mas inaalala ko yung accommodations ;)
well, buhay naman ako kahit overnight sa Internet cafe. all you can drink pa! :D

[danasan143]

wow ang ganda ng place :)

[KikoyBalayon]
