I drive shuttle bus for a hotel. Everyone wants to go to Cortina so I had 2 runs out to Cortina 8.00am and 10.00 am. Last year Cortina started a pick-up shuttle bus servise for Goryu to Cortina directly no other stops and drop you back at Goryu by 5.30 pm . It picked up at 7.30am out front of Sultana. The cost was Y 5000 per head. Ok, it sound good so far but it will be a hassle get to 5 people organise and have breakfast and get your gear and group to the pick up spot before 7.30 am. Most hotels do not start serving breakfast until 7.00 am and no refunds if you miss the bus. If you decide to

With my rental I booked for Feb next year (Small AWD with snow tyres) for 21 day will cost me $1100 AUD. Remember 0 alcohol limit are enforce. So if your going to drink don,t drive. So think hard about renting a car in Japan if you thinking of hit the piss while on holiday because even if you have stack in the afternoon after a big night you will be over the limit. Will renting a car but a damper on your holiday? The shuttle bus are a good free service and will get you to the lift and gondola before opening.

Try the Idemitsu service station in Hakuba. It is on the eastern side of route 148 s about 500 metres south from the Hakuba train station. It is a Hertz franchise I used in March 2013 and I hope you can speak Japanese. There is a Hertz franchise on the north side of Nagano Station but you have to consider toll charges will be on the bill when you pay. The toll are not expensive but you don,t know what extra fees Rental will put on top of the bill.

Yes totally agree Thumbs up !!!

The start to the season in Hakuba in 2011 was not so good. the top of Goryu was open from the 20 of Dec but only one run with all the local crew on it. They open the rest of resorts on the 25 of Dec with help of the snowmakers. The start to the 2012 season was great. The first dump came on around the 10 of Nov and just keep on coming. You will get a ride and all the resorts will be open but the quality is another thing. also it is the biggest crowd of the season during the Xmas week break.

Try taking one Aspro or 1/2 or 200 mg of Ibuprofen in the morning, These are blood thiner so and adds better circulation. First ask Doc about it.

New gear have a 300% mark up. It is cheap as chip if you have friends. No friend you end up paying the mark up like Tubs

Wrong .it very cheap. You just have to have friends. It seem that some mouths on here have not

A Scott commenting on expense !!!

I scored a pair of LIC Google with 740 or 1080 hd camera. I would not know the actual maker of the goggles Maybe Anon but they did me well all last season . No fogging and they came with replacement Lens of different shades. So if you thinking buy a pair of great goggles and a GoPro you can save heaps gearing up with these. Check them out on the Net. $300 US .

O Yes. Otari no excuses I am sorry. I often visit the Bakery (the best in the Vally) there in Otari ( jdown from the station) in the morning before catching the train

Yes Mamabear, way cheaper to eat out. For me I usual go for yakasoba at Chicken on a Stick /Fukinotou at Hakuba Station up the stair above the barber. Very Cheap and they do the best yakasoba in town.

I've heard that about food from several people. The cost of living in Australia sounds savage. No it about the same over all. The Meat (Beef, Chook,Lamb), veg and fruit are way cheaper then Japan. I picked up a lovely loin of Scotch Fillet today for Y1000 kg where in Japan it would be Y1000 for 100gm. Where in Japan other daily item are cheaper. So it kind of work out thje same. I do the shopping for the hotel while in Hakuba and I do the shopping at home in Aussie. But I am a shopper and I do source the best prices every time I go shopping. So you can be lazy and top price or be stud

Yes your quite correct but you can pick up a Moiwa season pass for Y38.000 and that would be the best in Niesko for price but the feedback I get about Niseko is it full of Foriegnor. This may be the reason but Norikura is Y35,000 and Cortina Y30,000 (Hakuba)

Yes I have try, but it very hard to explain how they require dreadlocks but they understand that is upsetting to patrons. I was thinking of asking Hakuba Connect Mag to do item on the subject amptharising the community feeling about the dreadlock subject. Is it bordering on discrimation? I feel not but some may interrupt it as. My Japanese girlfriend is the Receptionist at Cortina resort Onsen and she find it hard to explain this the these self-centred Foreigners and they start abusing her. That why I REALLY HATE IT because It hurt bad when you cannot do anything because she get hurt and migh

Had a big Morning that day at Norikura, I had Satomi Ridge run to myself all morning.

I just remember this instant. I was picking up at Happo and it was probably the worse day of the season. While I was waiting for them I notice this old Aussie looking a bit hard done by. I walk over to ask how was his day. He told me he was not happy with the resort. He continued to complain and at the end he state That Thredbo was way better Happo. I was abit taken back by this remark because it is a totally stupid statement to make!!. By then the guest just finish for the day. I ask them how was there day as I loading their skies and the reply was F**King Great. I look over to old Aussie an

Yes you are total correct!! I am in Hospitality , catering for middle class Aussie Families. 90% of Aussie are so self- centred. I pick and put down at the resort and in the Valley. I feel and see their bad attitude and their expression even at the end of great powder, Most whinge about the slightest abnormality. E.G. I am drive a crew of Aussie to the Gondola at Happo One and people are walking on the road making hard for Cars and buses, as is the norm. But the crew will start complain about this, making rude remark about the locals and Gonala is not even open for 15-20 minutes and I am the

How are you going to get around. If you want a car you have to have a place to park it. Then you have the cost of running a car/ Petrol is Y150 in march. Will you be leasing or hiring a car because that will sort out parking. If you buy a car make sure the cost of shaken the car is not High is costs. Really should talk to a local when you get there. Cheese (camonbare) Y 250 150 gm/ Milk Y150 litre/ Bread 180 haft loaf/ green tea 250gm Y500/seafood price are reasonable/ Meat expensive/ pork reasonable price/ season lift pass Y 30,000 or $300 us When I live in Japan room and my food is in th

I was just checking out the sea water surface temp on BOM for the far south coat of NSW. IT is usual around 15c to 16c this time of year and it is 16c now. What i did notice is an area the size of Tasmania some 50 km of the coast were the surface temp was from 20c to 24c. The surface water in this area does not reach those sort of temp until late January early February. This time of the year the 20c to 24c body of water is usual lying of Brisbane. So what have I notice in changes. This time of year Aug/ Sept the Land surface temp is always a couple of degrees hotter then the water surface. Th
