Has anyone been kitesurfing in Japan and know if there are any good wave riding locations?

Cheers Pete.

JAPAN! Here I was thinking about a snow boarding trip over xmas but I can kite there? YES!

Kamikuza, you just got me thinking... Im looking for a place to go for 6 months.... kitesurf, snowboard, maybe snow kite, not that ive tried it. Japan didnt even occur to me. How long is the season over there? Would you get any wave kiting in july to december?

Im just looking for a spot to spend some time and get a good dose of a different culture etc... a bit of kiting would be good too :)

Booze is really cheap in Japan and you can buy it at the convenience store and drink on the street, Chu hi tall cans would be my reccomendation also Japanese convenience stores are great places to hang out when your plastered

I like the sound of 1l beer can culture :)

Ive done the snow thing in japan before , was siiick. When does the snow get good? November?

Beer is "expensive" but spirits are cheap.

Summer is light. But Omaezaki is the windiest place in Japan, so it's got to be better than here there's plenty of data--if you read Japanese ;)

I haven't been to Omaezaki when the wind was up, but Hamamatsu has better waves than that?! Nice backdrop though!

Ever get out to Shiga?
