From Feb 1st to Feb 8th of 2026, I will be hanging out at the Nekoma Mountain “Bandai Onsen Hotel”!
(https://maps.app.goo.gl/mNgCqvZTWr8LU24g8)

Daily hangouts, nightly drinks, exploring the area, skiing, snowboarding, and so much more!

I will be there all week, and anyone who wants to come hang out, connect, hit the slopes together, eat, drink, etc… is welcome!

All that I ask is that you pre-register so I have an idea of who is coming!

The surrounding area is a wild ride filled with amazing gems like…

The Okawaso Hotel, XXX Juku, A station with a cat as the master… and so much more

A Full page is coming soon for this!
But for now, here’s a Tokyo Lens Video with a bit of a preview of the area!

I (Norm) will be there all week!

Mornings will be breakfast and coffee with whoever wants to join.
Afternoons will be hitting the slopes and grabbing lunch!
Evenings will be dinners, drinks and general hangout and chat time!

With one or two special guests, and events along the way!! (Maybe even some LIVE Shamisen!)

FULL SCHEDULE WILL BE AVAILABLE HERE [Coming]

I will be staying at the Hoshino Resorts Bandai Onsen Hotel (Right at the Ski Resort)

BUT…. Unfortunately it is peak season and there will not be enough rooms for everyone

THE GOOD NEWS: The area is FILLED with incredible lodging options that have great access to the ski hill!
