Nagano St. to Hakuba village via bus English link for the Nagano St. to Hakuba village bus . Last year, this bus was 1,400 yen one way. 3) Tokyo St. to Shinjuku St. via train. Shinjuku St. to Hakuba Village via bus. Also, if you're coming from Narita Airport, there's the NEX

it can only be good for the Japanese ski industry to get some international exposure. Despite the inaccuracies mentioned by others it is surely a step in the right direction. Amongst passionate skiers/boarders it doesn't take much to spread the word. Heck, even regular exposure and spruiking on ski forums based in other countries will rustle up a few visitors. IMHO.

I'd buy a cap/stickers or something

Quote: Originally posted by thursday: Interesting but not in our life time will Europeans go en masse to Japan for skiing. Most of the best stuff is right on their doorstep. true, but they will head to the US/Canada in droves.

use the touring to get closer to nature and incorporate the natural theme into the redecorations. Ergo ski touring = decoration research

I see a few Brits on the forums but get the impression they haven't descended en masse yet. Is that true ? Can the Brits answer whether there is much marketing or discussion toward Japan ? I infrequently visit an English ski forum and there isn't much talk on Japan just yet. I am English and often talk to friends and family and most have heard of skiing in Japan but don't know much about it.

In one of his first appearences for Michael Parkinson he came on and just spoke for 10 minutes, keeping the audience in stitches and Parky was just laughing. Parky said it was the longest it had been before Parky was able to get a word in on his own show

I enjoyed it, the same cringeworthy situations

that is a great shot Mantas

Quote: Originally posted by Kumapix: Echineko, are you struggling with a problem you'd like to share ?(in all the fine details) and pics

I prefer to go direct, however for an impending trip to Japan we have found the agent is quite a bit cheaper. To stay on topic, treat others how you would like to be treated, ie with respect and courtesy. You make lots more friends that way

there are some seriously great photo's in this thread. Great work everyone

That and a roast dinner every Sunday are the main reasons I married her
