enderzero 0 Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 Anyone live in or nearby Gifu city? What are your impressions? How far and by what kind of transport to the nearest decent hill? Can you get anywhere without a car? How about nightlife? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
oo 1 Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 Dynaland is cool, some other good places in the same valley.... Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 That valley is good, if you dont want to travel to the bigger places in Nagano. Takasu Snow Park, Washigatake, theres a few of them round there./ Link to post Share on other sites
enderzero 0 Posted October 9, 2002 Author Share Posted October 9, 2002 What's travel time like from Gifu city by car? By bus/train? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 From Gifu city about 1 hour or 2 depending on traffic and that can get bad. weekday no probs you can fly up there by car. Bus is better than the local train go to the ski shops and ask. if you cant speak jap bring a friend the first time to work it out for you. Link to post Share on other sites
rajeem 0 Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 As with everywhere, weekday is far better for less (no!) crowds and also easy travel. If you can go mid-week that is the time to go anywhere. Link to post Share on other sites
miteyak 0 Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 The area is served by a (mostly) one lane freeway... you can imagine what that's like morning and evening on weekends. My own experience at Dynaland was ruined before I got on the snow. I couldn't get passed the multi-storey carpark and city mall feel that greets you on arrival. Friends seem to think the area has a lot to offer, however. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 Dnyland has alot but I wont tell you why because then the secrect is out. I fyou go and look around youll figure it out. Next, the roads leading there suck. The free road is one lane and best accessed at night if you dont youll be caught in a big jam. Same goes with the One Lane Highway PAYWAY. They are still doing consrtuction and will be for a long time to come, making the othere 2 lanes. Give it 5 years and it wil be good. I go from Kyoto in a car and if anyone wants to hook up there is good BACK COUNTRY and well I have to show you. Link to post Share on other sites

barok 0 Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 you should check out SNOVA Hashima - in Hashima city - indoor park with a jump. I live in Nagoya (but not for too much longer) and I would check it out if I had my board here. Link to post Share on other sites

barok 0 Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 I am moving to Nagano in six days - I can`t freakin` wait, so in my head, I`m from Nagano. As for your post Fattwins, I think that a ride board wouldn`t be a bad idea. Some kind of who is going where and when thing - so that people could fill up their cars.

indosnm 0 Posted November 9, 2002 Share Posted November 9, 2002 Takasu is lame. Winghills and Dynaland seem better for boarders with semi decent runs and parks. stick to the weekdays thuogh, weekends are 6 hrs trips back home 2 nagoya which should take 2! Link to post Share on other sites
