Nat 0 Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 If you have good party to go with you, you might save a lot of money if you go by car. But if you and your friend want; No traffic jam; Beer; and Relax. It's better to take Train to go. That's I can say.... Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted October 19, 2002 Share Posted October 19, 2002 At Miyoko once as we casually went about getting changed and slurping beers and shoving kit in the back of the car, we watched with pitying amusement as 400 people squashed themselves into a bus with all their gear, and steamed up the windows with their breath.

Fattwins 0 Posted October 20, 2002 Share Posted October 20, 2002 Say it loud say it proud buy a car. There are so many things you can do. Camping hiking kayaking skiing. You can find car parks at around 10000 yen if you look. Maybe not in the heart of the city. I got lucky with free parking. Good landlords but seriously it costs a little more sometimes but you save time a sometimes have a bed if you get there early. Ill pick up anyone on the way as long as I have room.

oblivion 5 Posted October 20, 2002 Share Posted October 20, 2002 Yeah but monthly parking is hardly the biggest concern with getting a car now is it? - you've got to buy the thing; - you've got insurance; - you've got shaken ...none of which is cheap. Link to post Share on other sites
