Thailand“When you arrive the Ryokan is dedicated to getting you on the slopes as fast as possible. Have arrangement that they call a minibus which takes you to the ski hire rental and then another minibus will take you on to one of the two ski start points”- Birkmose
Japan“A nice little hotel in japanese style, with friendly staff that also could speak english. The outdoor onsen was lovely and surrounded by a little japanese garden.”
