So it's time again to welcome this blog's favourite contributor,our man from Japan Dr Rob.It's always a pleasure hosting Rob's mixes and this one is again a special case.Perfect for the last days of winter this is an emotional trip to the snow landscapes of rural Japan.
Music that accompanied my attempts to explore Karuizawa in February 2011. In the snow. On a push-bike. Don`t worry if your Japanese is up to asking for directions. There`s no one here to ask.
