Happy: Yuzawa Park is in....(wait for it) Yuzawa! It's a small area directly across from Iwappara, not a lot of vertical, but actually kind of neat variations for a hill that small.

Geto is a decent place. I know what you mean with the personality bit.

First one I went to was Happo-one in Nagano. It was a way back and I haven't been back there since, but would like to check it out again.

First one I checked out was Sugadaira... mainly because thats where a Japanese friends parents were. Decent place, though not enough of a challenge for me. Good for the kids though and if you're learning. Good area to explore too.
