fukdane 2 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Totally untrue and a ridiculous thing that someone told you. You can get there easily and they are having a good season, here's some daily info from there: http://www.snowjapan.com/e/daily/zao-now.php Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Oh dear some of the things that are said! Zao is open as normal and access is just as normal. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 unfounded nonsense Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Yep open as usual and access as usual!! Think someone is telling you porky's!! Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 we heard no one can go in due to the fukushima incident and earthquake, can anyone tell me if that true? Who on earth told you that?? There are no ski areas in Japan that are inaccessible due to the disasters of last year. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Probably some travel agent who hadn't even heard of Zao and has established commissions for booking accomm in Hakuba. They'd say anything to get you into accomm they get commissions from. Link to post Share on other sites

Thundercat 60 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 That is seriously some of the stupidest bullshit I've ever heard. I really wish people would just say, "I'm not sure" instead of pretending that they know something and coming up with complete bs. Link to post Share on other sites
griller 9 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 2 possible scenarios - like BM said they just don't know and are stupid or - intentionally trying to get people not to go for 'somewhere else' which is pretty despicable Link to post Share on other sites

2pints-mate 0 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 For sure. Luckily, we are all in a place (here) where nonsense happily gets shouted down very quickly, but stuff like this generally makes it difficult for people to know what to and what not to believe.
