Guest Posted January 5, 2002 Share Posted January 5, 2002 OK if you are in Nagano City and don't want to travel far. Certainly nothing special. Fairly decent runs. Not the best snow. Not huge. Link to post Share on other sites
curlywurly 0 Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 I wouldn't bother with this place unless you really do have to stay in Nagano for the night. Otherwise take a 40 minute trip to Nozawa etc. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 8, 2002 Share Posted January 8, 2002 Piece of crap if you ask me. One of those resorts that is only good if you have no other viable alternatives. Or you live at the bottom. Haha Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Hey, I went here last weekend and although the snow wasnt too good - where WAS it good last weekend - the place isnt that bad at all. Not a major place, but semi-decent and well close to the city. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 If you're going from Nagano, you get to go up that amazing road that spirals up into the heavens next to where it looks like the dam isn't going to be built. From the looks, the old road through the valley that isn't going to be flooded can still be used. Togakushi=soba for most people, I think. I've seen Iizuna kogen nearby, but it didn't look up to much. Link to post Share on other sites
cal 6 Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Yeah, it's just a pretty average ski slope. But why does togakushi=soba? I think I missed that one. Isn't there pretty little shrine up a hillside there? Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 Read any Japanese guidebook (rurubu etc) and you'll see. Even though its a very small place, there are still about 20 soba shops there. Some of them do soba ice-cream and all the other spinoffs. Even within Nagano, it's famous. It's even got a soba museum. Iizuna kogen down the road is famous for mizubasho (flowers) that bloom in spring. Link to post Share on other sites
