Jan Visits Hakuba - Beautiful Mountains & More


While we visited the Hakuba ski jump stadium, all the top Japanese ski jumpers were practicing for a competition they were to have the following day.	Another view from the Hakuba ski jump stadium, as you can see one ski jumper is in the air.

I was mildly shocked to see several female athletes, some of them even a little bit attractive, jumping like there was no tomorrow. As a man scared to death just by the thought of jumping, I have seen better days.	Kazuyoshi Funaki, Takanobu Okabe, and all the other famous Japanese ski jumpers were participating while we visited the Hakuba ski jump stadium.

Formerly called Norway Village as the Norwegians used it as their headquarter during the Olympics, the Hakuba Olympic Village Memorial Hall is located just by the ski jump stadium.	Yours truly overlooking the Hakuba Olympic Village Memorial Hall, which was fully imported from Norway for the purpose of the Olympics.
