beer baron 0 Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 Ok so i'm in japan for the first time now, where is the cheapest, closest, sickest, skiing to the kyoto area. When does the season start here? Just want to go for a few days before i head back to tahoe. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 http://www.skijapanguide.com/2002/reviews/readrereview2.php?prefecture=Shiga Cheapest and closest would prolly be Shiga. Check out the reviews above. Sick? - Maybe if you eat the curry... I used to live in Shiga before I fell into winter sports so I never went to the ski places as a customer. I did once hike up to Biwako Valley and it looked crap, even to my unpracticed eye. Ibukiyama might be a better bet. I reckon the season in that area doesn't start properly until Dec. or later, but you'd have to ask someone who actually knows. Link to post Share on other sites
IIIII 2 Posted August 28, 2002 Share Posted August 28, 2002 Good places in Gifu too Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted August 28, 2002 Share Posted August 28, 2002 Best places, I reckon, that arent too far are in Gifu, as IIIII said above. Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 Biwako is ok if you live down there for a quick ride. The worst thing is the season - timing and snow, which is pretty short if I remember well. Link to post Share on other sites
