自我介绍

I've been snowboarding in Nozawa Onsen since 1997 and living here since 2011. My wife, Natsuko and our two sons Tai and Koa love welcoming guests to the traditional hot spring village, our quiet neighborhood and the wonderful mountain. I've been working in travel, tourism and media in Japan for more than two decades and opened up The Craft Room in 2011, it was the first craft beer taproom in Nozawa Onsen and a fun little ski in ski out apres bar serving great coffee. In 2018 I also opened the Winterland Lodge & Taproom. We love snowboarding in the winter, cycling when the snow melts and soaking in hot springs any time. When we aren't in Nozawa Onsen we are visiting my family back in Oregon, Natsuko's in Yamagata, spending time in Okinawa or traveling.
