Hakuba SJ Party
podlet replied to Fattwins's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Hey there, just a note for John Deere's group.... it's grown considerably, though I haven't confirmed if everyone will be at the SJ party the group is now JD + 8 though quite possibly 10/11 Just in case it stuffs up your catering! -
Thanks longboardsk8man and everyone, yet again I've been told by a few people at work that checking through from Sapporo straight through to Sydney on JAL shouldn't be a problem, but I will call before i leave here and check in Sapporo etc. My flight times are Syd-Osaka 9.5hrs Tokyo-Syd 10 hours Both are direct flights, no stop overs.

Our flight from Sapporo is domestic and we'll be transferring to Narita for the flight to Sydney, so will travelling from haneda to narita take us anywhere near Tokyo metro area or around it or nowhere near it? Thanks for the info so far, I have asked others who have been there and live there and they say it's possible or at least not impossible as some here have suggested. We won't be able to overnight or spend a few days, tickets are already booked and paid for, that will have to wait until the next trip when I ski somewhere on Honshu

Hi everyone, My sister and I have roughly an 8-10 hours between flights in Tokyo on our return to Australia, so were thinking of checking our luggage through to Sydney from Sapporo, then checking out some of tokyo. Obviously we'll need to allow for checkin at Narita etc, so perhaps realistically there's half that time, so 4-5 hours for looking around. Where can i see a map of where the airports are in relation to each other? I'm visual, so reading words doesn't really help, I need to see a picture

Niseko Probs

Quote: Originally posted by Indosnm: But the main question is WHY do so many aussies come to Japan for snow? I haven't skiied in Japan, but my +1 and his mates are in Niseko at the moment. The benefits for Aussies to head to Japan rather than Europe or north America are the time difference, and flight times as well as the awesome snow quality and quantity AND it's during our summer, so means we can extend the amout we do ski once our season (which is crap by comparison) finishes. Personally, I prefer to experience the culture of the place i am visiting, rather than a mini australia i
