Chris Walton 0 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Hello all, I'm trying to find information on buying an Early Bird Season Lift Pass for Hakuba Goryu/Hakuba 47. I know you can buy one for a discounted price of 48,000 Yen before 31st October and i have had a look on both their websites but i'm having difficulty finding out if i can buy one from the UK. Does anyone know if you can do it ? Has anyone bought a season pass from abroad ? Any information will be greatly appreciated. Cheers wallas Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Walton 0 Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 Just trying to get this thread back in circulation !! I've emailed both Goryu resort and Hakuba 47 but with no reply so far. Anyone got any info for me that could help ? It will save me a packey if i can get something sorted. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Moderator SnowJapan.Com#4 5 Posted October 16, 2008 SnowJapan Moderator Share Posted October 16, 2008 The conditions written on the 47 website for payment say ç¾åœ°ã«ã¦ç›´æŽ¥ç”³ã—込む ã¾ãŸã¯ ç¾é‡‘æ›¸ç•™éƒµé€ which I believe means "in person or cash by registered post" - no mention of bank transfer payments.

best skier in hakuba 5 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I bet they don't do bank transfers because when you get into that many people will not pay the transfer charge. Cash in post gets you the full amount. All adds up. Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Walton 0 Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 So it's not looking likely i can do it from the UK ? I'll have to find a way of doing it. I need a friend in Hakuba !! Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 You can pay with a credit card Wallas - try calling 47 and ask for Kae-san or Kenta-san and they should be able to square you away. Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Walton 0 Posted October 18, 2008 Author Share Posted October 18, 2008 Cheers Creek Boy, i'll give it a try tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites
hannasus 0 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Hi Wallas. Did you manage to get your season pass sorted? I am in Hakuba for 1 month (maybe more) in Feb so figured it would save me some money buying the discounted rate season pass too. Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Walton 0 Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 Hello Hannasus, i've had no luck, tried to phone and emailed but no luck. 60,000 Yen for the season. If you manage to get sorted, can you give me a shout. Cheers. Where are you staying ? Hakuba for a month then moving onto another resort ? 8 weeks till i do one. Link to post Share on other sites
hannasus 0 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Hi Wallas. I am staying at Lodge Tabi Tabi. Booked from 1st-28th Feb. What about you? Not sure of my plans after that, but I have another month before I have to be back at work so maybe another resort! Not tried to get the discounted pass. Struggling to work out how cost effective it would be anyway, given that it only covers Goryu/47. Not sure how much time I'd want to board elsewhere in Hakuba... Link to post Share on other sites

hannasus 0 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Glad to hear TabiTabi is as good as it looks on the website. Can't wait to get out there. Spending a lot of my work day daydreaming at the moment! Link to post Share on other sites

wattiewatson 0 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I heard there was an 80,000 pass which gives you shiga, nozawa and some of Hakuba. Cant help you with how to get it as im not there. Nozawa's pass used to be available all season long for Y55,000. Both are great deals if you plan to ride a decent amount. Suginohara, which isnt too far away, has prety reasonable half day passes as well Link to post Share on other sites
