For me living in Japan has mostly been about skiing and the lifestyle around that. Up here in Hokkaido we get some of the heaviest average snowfalls in the world so for me it's like being in heaven. Nothing better than waking up in the morning, digging my way out of the front door, clearing the snow off the car and hitting the slopes. Then skiing some of the deepest, lightest and driest powder you can imagine and finish up with a soak in a local onsen. Maybe follow it up with a feed and a few beers at a nearby izakaya and finish out the day with some karaoke. Doesn't get much better than that!
