I woke up sick from exhaustion and dehydration on day 3 so B went out to board and I slept/watched the snow fall. He came back about 1:15pm with lunch (which consisted of a kit Kat, snickers bar and potato chips….boys….) and then we had more rest time before getting ready for our fancy NYE dinner at Kamimura. The restaurant chef has a Michelin star and they offer a 9 course degustation with paired wines. The chef even came out at the end of the meal to thank us for eating there! It was weird they had no Japanese waitstaff though, all Australian, British or Irish.
We had some very fancy celebratory champagne to start and then enjoyed the wine and food. I enjoyed the wine a lot. A lot. Maybe a little too much…
After dinner we wandered through lower Hirafu village where I found a new best friend (clearly an Australian built this snowman):
Then we found a tiny bar (after giving up on the bar we were actually searching for called the barn) and I drank sake. And cocktails. Oh, and an 18 year old hit on me which was very creepy (B says I also need to add I was very chuffed here hahaha).
We made it to midnight! Today I’m suffering a bit though :p no more sake for me! Damn B has pulled up fine. Ass.
Good things it is a blizzard for day 4 so today is another nap/recover/read/onsen day 🙂
