After RIDE HARD, PARTY HARDER in Hakuba this week, I went to Okushiga Kogen in Nagano prefecture and took lessons to Americans as a coach of High Cascade Japan for several days.
The ban has finally been lifted where snowboarding was prohibited until now.
I also wanted to do snowboarding lessons in English, so at good times I was able to add new experiences!
In the middle is Mr. Inokari, the organizer of this time.
Next to me is an American staff member named Kelly.
What!She and I had only shot for two days in the US about 15 years ago!
I remembered her loud and confident voice.
I went to the American Bachelor for the shooting of Trans World Japan, with Tomoko Yamakoshi and Keiko Yanagisawa.
Victoria Jules or something.
I felt that we could spend 15 years later as coaches in Japan.
High Cascade Japan is building a park in Okushiga Kogen from this year
As it is a celebrity tour, the food and hotels are luxurious and lucky (^^)
I had a great time with my fun friends and had a valuable experience!
I'm looking forward to next year ★
