I went to Japan for the winter holidays. I went snowboarding with my family. There are nine people in my family. My sister's car has seven seats. I went by car. My brother-in-law and niece took the bullet train.

I went snowboarding in a place called Yuzawa machi in Niigata Prefecture. It takes about three hours from Tokyo and is close to the station and the motorway. The hotel was old but clean and the food was delicious. Niigata is famous for its rice. The hotel was in a ski resort, so I could see the slopes and lift stations from the window of my room.

The hotel bath was a hot spring. There was no open-air bath, but it was nice. The women's bath was a bit hot. The men's bath sounded just right.
