zeeheld 0 Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 hi, I will be spending a few months in Nagoya, and I was wondering what would be the best place not too far away from there to go skiing for 1 maybe 2 days? And how long would it take to get there? thanks for your help Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 Takasu shiratori area. about 90mins by car if the traffic isnt bad. you can head to hakuba in 3 to 4hours. bus trips are easy to find. PS too much what do you want Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 Gifu area- shirotori,(winghills, dynaland, takasu, washigatake etc) by car 2hrs on weekend and coming home 3-4hrs if U are lucky (usually jammes 5-6hrs!!) Thats why i refuse to go there on weekends. Bus trips are easy way of getting there if U have no car. Hakuba takes around 2hrs fanging it, but 3 if slow by car. better mountains in my opinion. busses leave late night to hakuba and are pretty reasonable. Link to post Share on other sites

barok 0 Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 I lived in Nagoya for 2 months and it was the city that you love to hate. I actually miss my friends and certain things about the city, but for the most part, it`s a pit. But it is very convenient, the subways take you everywhere. It`s also crawling with gaijin, if that`s your thing. You can easily meet alot of people and swap stories from the hood. Link to post Share on other sites

indosnm 0 Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 Can do Nagoya Interchange - Hakuba exit (forgot exit name!!) usually a quick piss stop and hot coffee. 2hrs, if not too busy a little bit quicker. from then its up to the traffic and of course depending on which mountain you go to. Arai in niigata pref is actually further but quicker to get to as its all highway and about 10 mins from there.. more exy though.. all depends on what time you leave in the am and pm to how long it takes! wanna race?!
