SamuiKitsune 0 Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 So, I went to my local Beer Bistro tonight in Osaka and had a moment of clarity. F! Hakuba, we are heading back to Niseko for 5 days. Link to post Share on other sites
SamuiKitsune 0 Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 Oh sorry, I will be going to Hakuba in February. So, I will post again when I decide which hotel. Too many decisions on short notice. Link to post Share on other sites

SamuiKitsune 0 Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 I will let you know later. I just put in a request to the travel agent. Last time I stayed at Hotel Koropokkur in the Hirafu Village. I liked the location, but might want to give the Alpen a shot. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure they will know where they are located. Because 1) I never believe anything a salesperson says about their establishment (they want the booking) 2) I wanted to increase my post count! Oh yeah, another +1 for me. 4 minutes to Happo One 7 minutes to 47 At least double those times when you get 2 meters of snow fall over a couple of days and have to dodge the monster snow clearers.

NoFakie 45 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 For first lifts, stay in walking distance from the gondola. Skip breakfast if they don't serve it early enough. Link to post Share on other sites
SamuiKitsune 0 Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 Update; Heading to Niseko Jan. 11 to Jan. 15, instead of Hakuba. I found accomodations in Niseko at Lodge Ronde, 19,000 Yen per night , not per person. Total for two people for 4 nights is 76,000 Yen. The only resort I found available in Hakuba was White Horse. Total for two people for 4 nights is about 120,000 Yen. Before you go hitting that quick reply button, I am not inferring or suggesting or concluding that any one resort is more expensive or is a better quality establishment or is a better value or is cheaper or is more glamorous or is more friendly, etc. I am just mentioning the quoted prices for those you might want to know and consider when they are planning their own trips.

How long does the shuttle ride take to get Goryu /47? WH is not located near G/47. However, they will get you there when you want. I droppped by there a couple of weeks back and hopefully I'll be staying at the WH in March (hopefully). Part of the deal is that they'll get you to where you want to ski (within reason).

Really, so most places will go out of their way to drop off a couple of punters at Cortina? I guess I need to be a but more demanding. Link to post Share on other sites
