ippy 66 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 How to get to sugadaira? Aside hijiri its the closest hill to me. Ive cycled up there (it was a BITCH of a cycle) so i know how to get there by car, but its likely bus only. And i reckons... its probably Ueda thats your best bet. I used to live a mere 18kms from it in suzaka, but i was told by one of my teachers there that there were no buses up there and believed them. So bought a myoko season pass instead (if i knew then what i know now id have picked up a damn shiga kogen pass...) Still, missing it when i lived in suzaka and avoiding it while i live in chikuma seems silly. So yet another entry from me. I believe that keeps up my almost perfect record of one per week (except the hanazono week)... well, itll be another entry so long as i can figure out the easiest way to reach it via public transport. Ill hold off actually entering until i know i can get there. Link to post Share on other sites
