That's what I was thinking. I can get a train from Nagoya to Nagano that gets in at 10am. Where would you think would be best to go from there? Colin

I'm on a work trip to Japan that's going to have a day off were I need to get from Nagoya to Tokyo. I was hoping to use this for a day skiing and was wondering if anyone had any advice on the best place to go that's easy to get to from Nagoya in the morning and to get back to Tokyo afterward. Many thnks, Colin

Thanks for the help. I went to Kagura yesterday, only a few lifts open and lots of people on piste, but still some fun on the crud in the trees. All in all I had a fun day, although it is clear that we are really in the dregs of the season. Looks like a great area though and definatly want to come back for the season proper. The hard rain at road level was enough to put me off another day today, and even though I do really like bread I think it is probably better to leave Shiga Kogen until next time. Cheers, Colin

Thanks for the info. I'll definatly check out Kagura. I've got enough time to take a day at Shiga Kogen too. DO you think that it's worth the trip given what is still open there. Colin

I'm in Tokyo on a work trip for a few days and was planning to stay around for a week or so after. Having arrived in Japan just as the main resorts seem to be closing I was still hoping to get a couple of days skiing in while I'm here and was wondering if anyone had any ideas/opinions about the places that are still open, as I'm completely new to skiing in Japan. From trawling this site Shig Kogen still seems to be partly open as do some of the resorts near Niigato: Kagura Mitsumata and Seki Onsen. Any information on what the best option is would be great.
