billsensei 0 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Would like to go most weekends, but costs are becoming an issue. So, am looking for places for private rooms at either room rates or per person rates that work out at about 6 to 7k per head. Food and onsen rates to be reasonable with choice of dishes for semi-veggies. Have 4x4 and heading from Tokyo, so closer is better but must have good snow (not ice like Karuizawa!) Thanks for anyone who can advise here, Bill Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Hi I'm not really understanding your post. This isn't a package-making travel agency. "Shiga Kogen-Gunma"? You realise they are quite different and in winter quite far from each other. Gunma is closer than Shiga Kogen. As is Yuzawa. But the snow is probably better in Shiga Kogen. You might want to check and contact places here re: accommodation http://www.snowjapan.com/e/hotel/index.html Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 If you are living in Tokyo, what is the pricey part of the day trips? The driving up and back? If so you could still do day trips using the night buses, will get you there for around 7.30am on the day you want to ride, if not the shink but then it'll be just as pricey as driving your car. staying over will also be the same in my opinion but go down to JR View or any Travel agent and get a quote and you can weigh up the pros and cons Link to post Share on other sites
billsensei 0 Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 Either one is north and on the Kanetsu from Tokyo. So, I am looking for recommendations on where to stay in these places at more reasonable rates than the 12 to 14k per night per person I am ususally paying. As for checking accommodation, yes I can of course read through the listings but I am looking for recommendations from other members. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I know there are plenty placees in naeba/Yuzawa that can be had for about 5-6000 yen pppn. That is minshuku, basic style but warm and clean all the same. Link to post Share on other sites
billsensei 0 Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 Driving is not the issue. I have a family to take and having a fully kitted out 4x4 for winter sports is already paid for. Cost of travel on trains and or buses with children at late hours is not really my idea of a holiday... Basically, just asking if anyone has experience and recommendations at places to stay in these two areas. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
billsensei 0 Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 Yes, I know there are plenty of places too. What I am asking for is member recommendations and not a blanket statement. There is a lot of snow at ski resorts too. Basically, I appreciate your comments but only if they are actually helping resolve the question I am asking about. If not, then let's save the general chit-chat for forums made for that purpose. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 After that last comment I will refrain from helping you out. See ya! Link to post Share on other sites

SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted February 14, 2009 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted February 14, 2009 Hello billsensei I have deleted your other post. You are welcome to use these Forums but we really do not appreciate the attitude displayed towards firstly other members of the Forums who were simply trying to help and also towards us. These Forums are generally a very friendly and helpful place to be and I think many people like that about them. To come on here as you did with your first few posts is certainly not the way to endear yourself to other members and get the help that you are asking for. They do not owe you anything, and neither do we, so please keep that in mind if you post anything else here. Thank you. Link to post Share on other sites
