Some times we can all get caught up with work and end up sitting at our desks all day. Another beautiful autumn day here in Hakuba and I was determined to drag myself away from my computer to find time to take a walk by the river.  It is a great lifestyle here. Originally my intention was to just stay in Hakuba during the winter and manage the hotels however I found the living here to be much to my liking for the whole year. There is a number of westerners from around the globe now living in Hakuba who have also found this balance of lifestyle and work. Clean air, big mountains, great snow in the winter and for all you office workers, fibre optic internet.  Come and live the dream.
