Guest Posted June 29, 2002 Share Posted June 29, 2002 Can anyone give me an idea of how much equipment is over there. (ie skis or board, boots etc). I will be going to Japan in time for the next winter season over there. Hope I'm not repeating stuff that's already been done in details. Thank you so much. Rachel Link to post Share on other sites
TeleSkier 0 Posted June 30, 2002 Share Posted June 30, 2002 Depending on where you are coming from it may be cheaper to bring equipment with you. In January one of my friends got the top of the line Technica Icons which go for $600 for $300. So if you look you find the stuff. In the Tokyo area go to the Ogawamachi section of the city. There are tons of ski/snowboard stores right there in that area. I've never seen that much retail in one spot. Link to post Share on other sites
Wizz 11 Posted June 30, 2002 Share Posted June 30, 2002 Teleskier, are you talking about the Jimbotcho region. Another name for Ogawamachi??? Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 As a few of us on this board will know all too well - there's a lack of big sizes here in Japan. If you have over 29cm feet Rachel (!!!), you might be in trouble here. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 7, 2002 Share Posted August 7, 2002 Thank you so much. Maybe see some of you on the snow, it looks like Niigata and Gunma will be my main place to do my stuff. Link to post Share on other sites
