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

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.

I think the best would be Toyama airport.

And what sort of flights can they accommodate?

Bigger than Niigata?

[stemik 14]

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.

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.
