GeeP 0 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Hi there, Me and a few buddies are heading over for three weeks late JAN/FEB 08. We are going to be based at a place in Kutchan. Can anyone let me know the following: 1. How far do we have to go to get on the first chair/gondola? 2. When finshed for the day; how far do we have to go for general ammenities, food and beer? (in Kutchan) I think that is the basics covered, if I have missed anything can you guys let me know... Cheers... Link to post Share on other sites
jared 0 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 5-20 mins drive to get to lifts Depends on where in Kutchan you are staying as to distance to food/drinks most likely short walking distance ski shop there is worth a look, also supermarkets there unlike Hirafu Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I assume you'll have a car if you are staying in Kutchan? What is the name of the place you are staying at? Kutchan is a pretty small town and just about everything is within walking distance but really depends on where your accomm is. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 if not, I'd presume the host would drive you to Hirafu in the morning and advise the bus stop and schedule for your return. Link to post Share on other sites

Go Native 70 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 It's inevitable that Kutchan will get more popular. Many long term staff are making the move down there for cheaper rental and the conveniences of living in a town rather than a ski resort. Plus you actually feel like you are living in Japan rather than little Australia. Link to post Share on other sites

Will check on the Street name... That's an easy one. Streets don't have names and houses don't have numbers. This is Japan, mate. Link to post Share on other sites
