"Nagano & Niigata, Japan have gotten an INSANE amount of snow recently"

Picture of a snow plough at the bottom of a huge trench dug in the snow, at night. The sky is yellow because of the city lights.

I saw some news about snowfall in Niigata, just two hours away by shinkansen, and decided to go experience real snow after the light snowfall in Tokyo.

Het skigebied in de stad #Minamiuonuma, prefectuur Niigata in Japan, kan momenteel bogen op een indrukwekkende sneeuwhoogte van 450 cm (14,8 ft) ❄️ Er wordt de komende dagen nog meer sneeuwval verwacht, dus dit seizoen kan de totale sneeuwval oplopen tot maar liefst 5 meter!

Souvenir #pennant in Japan, my collection.
"ITSUKAMACHI" 五日町,Niigata Prefecture.
This is a pennant for Itsukamachi Ski Resort in Minamiuonuma City. It was founded in the early 1970s and became popular, but closed in 2020.
Length 53.5cm (21.0in). This pennant was produced around 1970s. #vintage

1, A pennant of Itsukamachi ski resort. It is a white cloth with an illustration printed on it and two red ribbons attached.

2, The illustration depicts a downhill racer in a hexagonal frame. The hexagon is probably an image of a snowflake. The pennant is divided horizontally into green (top) and white (bottom), but only the leftmost section is reversed to accentuate the pennant.

3, Enlargement of the illustration. The ski racer is wearing a racing suit, helmet, and goggles, and is skiing downhill in a crouching style, giving a sense of speed.

4, The title is in English. The title is "ITSUKAMACHI" (red) in Gothic. The subtitle is "INTERNATIONAL SKI AREA" (black).

Muikamachi is a town in Minamiuonuma City. Outdoor recreation is popular there, and there are several ski resorts. This is a pennant of a ski resort.
Length 60cm (23.6in). Around 1960s or 1970s. #vintage

1, A pennant of Muikamachi. It is a white cloth with an illustration printed on it and two red ribbons.

2, The illustration is of a ski racer on the slope.

3, Enlargement of the illustration. A figure in a ski racing suit, helmet, and goggles is skiing in a crouching style. Mountains with sharp peaks are depicted in the background, but these are design images and are not realistic representations of the region.

4, The title is written in both Japanese and English. The title is "Muikamachi" (red) in written English. The subtitle is "Muikamachi" in kanji (red border, white letters). The pennant has a snowflake or stock ring(?) design on the right edge of the pennant.
