Is it possible to add a notice board on SnowJapan for people wishing to share rides up to Nagano? Maybe this exists already and I haven`t found it, but this would help many snow lovers in Japan I think. Especially from Kansai getting to Hakuba and elsewhere is a real pain since they have scrapped the SHpoolGO train ( that used to be so much fun!). The night bus is a nightmare and not cheap, and even if you have your own car going alone or with just a couple of friends is expensive.
For anyone out there reading this in the Kansai area, I go up every week to Hakuba dep on a Sunday night or Mon
