panhead_pete 27 Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Awesome idea mate. You can fly Sapparro-Beijing direct already which is the best I can currently find. To Nagano would be sensational, especially from some of the other big cities Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Thought matsumoto had a short runway which would rule out the 747s. Guess only the smaller planes could use it such as the 737s and such. Link to post Share on other sites
stemik 14 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I think the best would be Toyama airport. Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 And what sort of flights can they accommodate? Bigger than Niigata? Link to post Share on other sites
stemik 14 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Not sure what type of planes it can accommodate, but it is already set up as an international airport with flights to korea, China and Russia. Nigata - I am not sure about. Link to post Share on other sites
grazza 2 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 On the first day of our first trip to Japan we were in Kyoto. The first place we wandered into was a big beautiful temple near the station. There was a service going on, that amazing droning chant that they do. Maybe 90 people on the floor, in zazen position. I very quietly and carefully sat in the corner and soaked in it. It was a sublime moment. Or it was until a Chinese tour group of 20-30 rocked up like a herd of buffalo. Loud talking, flash photos, invading the space completely. After about about four or five minutes of this, a monk got up, went up to the group, gave them a major dressing down and ordered them out. It was very interesting to watch.
