stemik 14 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 We have been invited to compete in some races over in Naeba. Does anyone know the best route? A few options are 1. Down to Fujioka junction then back up. 2. Up to the Sea of Japan then down. 3. Across the mountains Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Hakuba to Yuzawa takes a bit under 3 hours if you go to Nagano, expressway to Toyoya Iiyama and then Route 117 past Nozawa, over 353 at Tsunan and then over to Yuzawa. In decent conditions. Bit less if you motor and have good conditions. Then from central Yuzawa to Naeba takes about 25-30 minutes. Hakuba > Nagano > Expressway Toyota Iiyama IC > Route 117 Tsunan > Route 353 Ishiuchi > Route 17 Yuzawa > Route 17 Naeba I would guess that the expressway from Itoigawa to Yuzawa will be quicker, but more in terms of miles, costing the expressway and not as interesting.

stemik 14 Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 Thanks Muika-san. Does this road (route 17) go past the famous telephone box? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 It does indeed. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 You will pass Ishiuchi Maruyama skijo on your right coming over the hill into Yuzawa. The phone box is on the left before the turn off for Gala Yuzawa. Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I'm sure you can probably take some of that off if you get the expressway from Itoigawa > Nagaoka > Yuzawa. Link to post Share on other sites
