We took a power board from AUS and broke off the earth plug, bought a Japanese adaptor, plugged the adaptor into the plug then plugged in the power board, this enabled us to charge up all our equipment at once. Also took a universal charger which charged all our different camera batteries. Cheers

Just got back from Shiga Kogen, was awesome skiing that is, nightlife pretty dull stayed at Ichinose area contact is Yuichi Sato - Villa Ichinose great japanese hotel very friendly food great, onsen, shop, ski hire etc. Also stayed at Nozawo Onsen in Aussie Lodge which was great, had a kitchen so could cook if you wanted. Town was amazing, Onsens great. skiing great also. contact is Fi & Tim Lodge Nagano - details can be found in the Places to Stay section of the site

Thanks, I'll look at all the threads.

That was quick thanks, is Shiga Kogen better than Hakuba?

Could someone please help me. Ive booked to go to Nozawo Onsen from 1st Jan - 7th Jan 09, my question Is Shiga Kogen the same resort or different, Like Perisher and Thredbo? we have another week to spend skiing, should we go do a day trip to see the monkeys when staying at Nozawo or stay at Shiga Kogen for the other week or go to another resort? Hope this makes sense Heather
