First of all - thanks to all the helpfull feedback so far - it has been really a big help. Best skier in Habuka : thanks for your links regarding affordable budget accomodations. We are now in touch with a few decently priced hostels & BB's. Mr. Wiggles : Our kids are 6 & 9 years old. Our 6 years old daughter probably would need a 2-3 days refresher course, our 9 years old boy should be up and running again after 1 day with a ski teacher. I assume it won't be a big deal to find a ski teacher in Habuga who knows some english? We may stay in a place in walking distance to

thanks for your feedback guys - really appreciated. Any idea about the costs to get via train from Tokio to Nagano? Have been checking a few hotels in the japanese ski resorts and it seems that the minimum price per person is around 8,000 yen..we are 2 adults and 2 kids, so we would need to pay at least 350US$ / nite (which I find superexpensive)..well guess we are spoiled by Philippine prices Is there anyway to find an accomodation for max 200 US$ for 2 adults and 2 kids for 4-5 days in Hakuba? (backpackerstyle?) Thanks again for your help! Peace Serbi

Hi! we are a German-filippino family and would like to try out to ski in Japan this coming February. (the kid's vacation don't match this year's european skiing season). Have been trying to do some online research and it seems that getting around in Japan is not too easy for a first timer.. Here is the deal: We arrive in Japan on Feb 21 and depart again of Feb 28. We would either arrive in Tokio or Nagoya. Any sugestions from the Japan locals what would be the EASIEST travel itineray. If possible want to avoid to rent a car and rather go by train to the ski resorts.
