Studio tdes, Niseko, Japan
The Daily English Show is currently being produced at studio tdes in Niseko, Hokkaido, Japan.
Kutchan is the name of the town we live in and the ski area (including several resorts) is known as Niseko . The Daily English Show started in Tokyo in April 2006. We moved to Kutchan in October 2006 - and moved to our current location - MSK JR Apartment - in December 2008.
