bcski 0 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Hey I've been looking into booking my trip to japan. Im skiing mainly in nozawa but i heard theres a 3 resort pass including nozawa, hakuba and shiga kogen (not entirely sure on the 3). If anyone has any info on where i could buy it that would be great. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Yeah I've saw adverts for that, its not all the Hakuba resorts though....think its only 1, Happo-One perhaps? Link to post Share on other sites
bcski 0 Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 yeah i'm pretty sure it is just happo-one. Link to post Share on other sites
bcski 0 Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 Yeah i think its only happo-one but i'm still really interested in it. If anyone has info on where i can get one (or if i have to get it on arrival) or if its even still available that would be great. Link to post Share on other sites
rider69 18 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 If you are based in Hakuba/Shiga/Nozawa Onsen I dont think the pass is a very good buy. It is 80000yen and they are all quite a distance from each other. Here is the link to the pass application. If the link doesnt stick you can go through the snow japan resort section Nozawa onsen web page and find the form on their site. http://www.nozawaski.com/winter/lift_price/img/season_pass.pdf Link to post Share on other sites

tokabochi 9 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 About 90 minutes from Hakuba to Nozawa with a good run through. Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 whens this years jtb pass out? You know, the ten million different resorts with a couple of awesome ones for 39000 or thereabouts? Link to post Share on other sites
bcski 0 Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 damn, just realized that its for last season. Does anyone know when they usually update there websites? Link to post Share on other sites
iiyamadude 6 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Anytime between now and October. In some cases November. In some cases December! Would you believe it! Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 but i want it now. Did no one tell them this? Link to post Share on other sites
bcski 0 Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 thanks, that kind of sucks but oh well. Ill just have to plan the trip on the assumption that they'll still have it this year. Link to post Share on other sites
rider69 18 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 update the websites are you lol. They wont do that for a bit. Call nozawa or happo they actually have good english speakers wroking in the offices on most days. The price is the same all season. I think the pass is a good buy for you for sure. The JTB pass comes out closer to winter it is 50000 yen though not 39000 yen. There were rumors last season that Tsugaike might be off the pass this season. That would lower the value of the pass to people living in Hakuba. Tsugaike offers a cheap pass early season for 30000yen. Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 is it the same every year? I thought they switched it about. Im pretty sure 2009/10 they had suginohara, but in 2010/11 it was akakan i think (just as a 'for example'). Link to post Share on other sites
rider69 18 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 i dont know it is a mount 6 pass i think. the classic resort pass or something like that. Happo has done a shiga plus happo pass since they started selling seasons passes about 7years ago I believe. I could be very wrong on when they started to sell seasons passes.

RaID 0 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 So im going to be working this upcoming in Hakuba, looking at getting the Happo One early bird season pass as that will the resort ill ride the most Does that mean with I could also use it at Nozawa Onsen and Shiga Kogen? I take it there is no other season pass linking at least Iwatake and Happo? The JTB pass comes out closer to winter it is 50000 yen though not 39000 yen.

ippy 66 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 god damn, who the hell wants to ski akakura onsen? I HATE that place! It was sounding alright with yuzawa ryuoo xjam and cortina. I was about to complain that they usually have a big name on the bill but i guess thats gala yuzawa this year. pity, i was kinda hoping that one was going to be awesome. If anyone has the time woudl they mind listing up the resorts on the list? Link to post Share on other sites
gaijindrifter 0 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Hey RaID, the Happo/Nozawa/Shiga pass is the same price (80,000) regardless of when you buy it. Here's the flyer, I think my coworkers and I are gonna apply for it tomorrow Link to post Share on other sites
