It takes about two hours from Tokyo to Kijimadaira.
It takes 15 minutes by shuttle bus to reach Kijimadaira. From the bus windows, rural landscape expands before my eyes.
Kijimadiara lies on a delta, nestled between 2 rivers.
The ski slopes are in this area. Maguse, a famous hot spring, lies upstream of the valley.
