Well, will look forward to checking them out.

Thanks. How does Manza compare?

Always good to walk round that kind of place though, especially if you have money in pocket.

[Targets (number of days on the snow)]

That would be a fine number to hit.

Thanks folks.

I will be just out of Naganohara.

[First time to Japan, driving questions too, experienced peoples enter please]

I'm contemplating the driving thing too. Sounds like a good idea to me, though it's more the cost that puts me off.

 

Just as a ballpark anyone give me an idea of how much I might expect to pay for a small car for a week?

The times I have been to Jimbotcho I have been disappointed. I was expecting more from the place, though perhaps I was a little early (November).

Hi there

Been lurking a bit and thought I'd just get registered and done with.

 

I visit Japan fairly often on business and have been skiing in Nagano. Come February I will have some time and based in western Gunma - not too far from Kusatsu Onsen. I won't (as it is) have a car and wondering if Kusatsu skijo would be worth a week or if that is too long maybe and it is worth my putting the effort into going further afield - problem with that is the extra costs.

 

I'm a fairly competent skier, but not looking for some huge wilderness adventure. A decent ski resort perhaps with some nice trees will do me fine.

 

Cheers.
