are you traveling by yourself? nah with my missus what do you want to pay per nite? 50-100 bucks we can give more details if we know something like that. Japanese or western beds and feel? prob japenese for experiance happo or 47 which base do you want to be at? whats better?/ will you have access to a car? if u reckon having a car will improve the experiance.

My budget is above a hostel medium priced hotels would be on the cards what places do u recommend?

Thanks for your replys guys. As far as my budget..hmm tricky question Im not poor but Im further away from being rich so somewhere above a youth hostel Im looking at Hakuba, which if im not mistaken is Nagano. Also I think this is easy to get too, correct me if Im wrong. If all the aussies go to Hokkaido areas then Im staying away from there just sucks travelling to other side of world to hang with aussies thats all.

OK Im going to go to Japan Jan 2006, Ive been reading your forums and most of you know whats going on. So my question is where is the best place to go? Im an advanced snow-boarder. Any advice you guys can give like where to stay, what accomodation is cheap and good, but mainly what resort or area. Thanks in advance.
