thursday 1 Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 If it was known to everybody, they'd need a bigger room for the museum. It'll be chaos. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 You are surely right. I actually found it quite interesting that little place. Like I said worth stopping for a few minutes to take a look. Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 Rob, in that little museum-style room thingy on the expressway, on the model, there was no sign of funny attacking plant thingies. I think it might be safe. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Hey, Mario never though he'd be attacked by one either did he? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 I don't suppose he did. Link to post Share on other sites
HighlyTrainedNovaTeacher 2 Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 What are those things anyway, plant or animal? Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 reckon they are some variation of a venus fly trap....maybe a Venus Fireball Trap Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 venus fire trap. Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 They should really update the info in the museum though to warn of the dangers. Next season someone please ski down there and check it out. You can walk back up no problem if you are man enough. Link to post Share on other sites
skidaisuki 0 Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 You're probably right in your identification of it - but it's also quite likely some politician got bribed a few years back and managed to get the goverment to pay hundreds of millions of yen to local construction firms to built some meaningless lump of concrete in the middle of pristine mountain countryside just for the hell of it... ...that's an explanation of Japan's rural economy for anyone not familiar with the situation! What country could've spent more on tunneling than Japan? Still, when I go through the tunnel to Echigo Yuzawa on the shinkansen, I guess I'm grateful for it. SdS Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Bigget hump must be the Honshu-Hokkaido tunnel. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 This Kanetsu tunnel connecting Yuzawa and Minakami is the longest road tunnel in Japan I believe at just over 11km. Indeed one of the longest in the world. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Been through some tunnel connecting GUNMA and NAGANO - took about 10mins to drive though. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 Where was that Rob? Can't think of any huge ones in that direction. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Um lemme check photos. Went to Ueda last October from Tokyo and had to drive along kan'etsu and another road. Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 On the Joshinetsu? A few tunnels but nowhere near as long as the Shimizu tunnel from Yuzawa<>Mimakami. Link to post Share on other sites
