Tateshina

Do you remember Tateshina? All students should have been there during the summer vacation of our first year. There must have been some joyful events and some bitter events. What do you think about class travel?
Now, why don’t you think about another trip to Tateshina? You can climb the mountain in summer, and you can enjoy skiing in winter there. In fact, I went there late and enjoyed skiing and something. It was my second visit to Tateshina, and I found the trip very interesting. Let me talk about Tateshina.

A four-hour local train ride will take you from Shinjuku Station to Chino Station, the nearest station to Toin Villa. Then, you can get to the villa by taxi. It will take a lot of time, but little money.
Then, after you arrive, what can you do there? First, there are many exotic games at Toin Villa. For example, you can enjoy playing Catan, Bohnanza, Scotland Yard, and so on. Maybe you can’t know which games they are only by the names. They are some of the board games or card games that many people can enjoy together. Students (and graduates) enjoy the games during their free time or at night. You should bring some sweets and snacks. Then you can enjoy playing while eating.
Next, how about playing outside? I’ll talk to you about the case of winter. Of course, you can enjoy skiing. The ski resort is near the villa. It takes about 10 minutes to walk there. You can rent ski equipment at a low cost. How about other activities? There is lots of snow there, so you can play in the snow. On the last trip, some students made a snow dome. You can enjoy snowball fights too.
On the last day, students sit around the fireplace and enjoy eating, talking, and singing. They sing songs that are in the song book Toin Villa has. They also sing some funny parodies. It’s a very nice time.

There are many interesting and funny things at Tateshina. If you go there, you will find it interesting and want to go there again and again. Why don’t you try going there? Once you go there, it will become your favorite spot.
