norcal 5 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Post up your ideas/things you will do while you wait for the snow to fall again, lol. I'd like to keep earthquake talk out unless its to mention that a place may be closed/different hours. (just a request) As of now I'm still on a 2 hour report time, which means I can't go too far Hopefully that ends sometime soon so I can get further out Link to post Share on other sites

mina2 6 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Like many I will be out for a while in August but before then I hope to have a good few weekends out and about. Keen to get over to a few parts of Nagano that I don't know so well yet, down south and west over there. Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Hiroshima is a place I want to get to. But it's just so damn expensive to get down there it keeps on putting me off. But I really think I will go this year, need to check it out. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I have plans for a few days in Sapporo, nothing booked yet but a mate lives up there. Actually after yesterday in Yuzawa, I'd like to go back in the green season for some hiking and perhaps mountain biking if they have that. Would be interesting to see what its like without the snow blanket. Link to post Share on other sites
Ezorisu 0 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Lots of trails in/near metropolitan Sapporo (Moiwa-yama, Sankaku-yama, Maru-yama) or if you are feeling like an all-day excursion, you can head to Teine and hike to the top of Teine-yama. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Wife, kid and I are heading down to Kyoto and Nara for a week in a couple of weeks time. Really looking forward to seeing a landscape not still completely covered in snow, seeing some green and colour again! Link to post Share on other sites

MagSeven 40 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Heading down to Kyoto, Osaka and Nara for Golden Week. Hong Kong in July. Will be getting out on the road bike alot, starting this weekend. Then once it gets warmer, lots of hiking and camping. All the while saving for a decent touring setup, so I can get out on skis again as soon as there's enough snow next winter!

RobBright 35 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Right now, sweat. Probably plan something closer to the time as will have a fair size chunk off. Would love to pop up to Hokkaido, depending on plans and power cuts. Link to post Share on other sites

Chriselle 158 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Well, up until this year we have rented an apartment in Minami Soma Fukushima for a week or so in August for surfing. I think that plan is out the window, now. I loved going up there. Probably take a couple weeks at the end of July and go back to Canada but other than that we'll be sticking around here miserable in the sticky heat. Link to post Share on other sites
