Hi all
Now for something totally random, I'm trying to buy some Universal Studio tickets and google translate not doing a good job. English site doesn’t sell ticket or express passes online at all. Japanese discrimination at work. Dodgy!!!

No that's fairly standard - you don't want the dirty foreigners having an easy life in this great country, do you? They might to stay or move in, then where would you be...
I don't read so well, but it looks like you can't actually buy online unless you have an address in Japan they can deliver tickets to. I can get the wife to check if you lik

That would be great if you could check. We are flying out tomorrow night and I wasn't expecting this type of discrimination at all from a country like Japan.
It seems others from overseas have successfully navigated the site and bought tickets so I'm assuming you can just print them out which is what Tokyo Disneyland allows you to do.
If need be I can come over tonight with a carton of beer if we can get this sorted asap.

Google bable fish translator.
No good. Much of the buttons and instructions are in images so a translator does work.
Didn't expect that kind of discrimination? There is a reason there is no blonde, red haired, light brown haired, curly haired, blue eyed, green eyed, light brown eyed people in asia. They also smile and are friendly when they dont like you. Enjoy your holiday.

Flying here? For how long? Staying at a hotel?
It's winter, the school holds are over - gate sales shouldn't be an issue...

And watch as Japan becomes a third world craphole again. They're falling so far behind the rest of Asia... I hope you like Korean and Chinese cars 
We're snowboarding for a week then touring for a week. Staying at a combination of hotels, serviced apartments and Airbnbs.
And the good news, no.... great news is the host of one of the Airbnb we are staying at has offered to buy the tickets for us. And yes you did needed a Japanese address.
Hopefully the winter plus being non-school holiday plus mid week will mean the crowds are slightly less.
Can't wait

I hope you like powder because this is not uncommon.
Insane isn't it. However I've been snowboard only once and that was ten years ago. So I imagine I'll be on the groomed runs the whole time. I may try a guided trip later in the week to at least experience all that powder depending on how I progress.

My son had never snowboarded before going to Rusutsu. He was off piste the second day. I think you'll find it's not that hard. The snow is like baby powder, soooo soft. You only need to go off the runs to the side a meter or so and your knee deep. Cut your teeth there and then venture further into the trees once your confidence builds. One good thing is the stacks are soft.
I know you'll be off piste before you know it. That powder is like a magnet.
Don't worry about crowds - lifts here get things moving nicely. Went back to NZ and was hirrified by how long it took to get up a mountain, even with much less people than we get here.
I also assume youll be hitting big fields...?
We're doing Niseko, with I guess have the Australian population.
I think kids pick things up a lot faster than me now days. However the powder does sound sooooo attractive.. Ok I think I've already convinced myself to give it a go.. I'm hiring a helmet to keep my nogin warm and mount the gopro so that would be useful if any trees jump ouut att me

I think you can get a bus over to Rusutsu for a day trip from Niseko. Make sure you have top shelf gloves. Helmet is a good idea. Schumacher is a good example why that's so.
