J-Trip Plan

Niseko, a Winter Leisure Hotspot & Kumamoto Pref.'s Rice Capital, Yamaga (2x3)

Data di messa in onda: Feb 06, 2017

We feature Hokkaido's Niseko which attracts visitors from abroad for its powder snow. Our correspondent, a Niseko resident, tells us there's more to Niseko than skiing. And, our reporter takes us to Yamaga in Kumamoto Prefecture, an old post town that prospered on rice agriculture. He visits a sake brewery, and tries making rice crackers. He also watches the Yamaga Lantern Dance Performance and has a lesson in how to make a miniature version of the paper lanterns the dancers wear on their heads. Reporter: Nick Szasz
