scouser 4 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 It does look good, I can imagine the scramble early on. Good that they don't need the crappy buses as well, that was a nightmare. Link to post Share on other sites

tsondaboy 0 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I know, I noticed that the other day. I have to check if I still have any left in the pass-holder. There are lots of used passes piled up in there, with some luck there will be a kagura pass left. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan.Com#3 0 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Good find - we will put that info on the Yuzawa Now page later on. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
tsondaboy 0 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I found last years kagura pass on the top of the stack. Thanks Montoya for reminding me about it because I had completely forgoten about it. I think this pass was from the time I came there with Sven. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Moderator SnowJapan.Com#4 5 Posted November 25, 2005 SnowJapan Moderator Share Posted November 25, 2005 Disappointing news from Kagura - you're going to need to get on the bus from Mitsumata Ropeway to the top of the Kagura Gondola. As of yesterday they were planning on opening a Mitsumata lift to get you there, but it seems that they have changed their mind.

tsondaboy 0 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 A small correction there SJ#4. It says that the bus will take you from the top of the Mitsumata Ropeway to the bottom of the Kagura Gondola. You will probably still need to get on the Kagura Gondola to get to the open courses.

Aye, I was there today and it was tops to get the muscles working again after 6months. Got some photos which i will upload soon but to be honest the photos from the kagura website say it all. Morning was rain in yuzawa and mitsumate but light snow at kagura. Very foggy/misty which slowly cleared to leave a beautiful afternoon. Snow was great in the morning but got a bit chopped and rutted in the afternoon. Not too crowded most of the day and cant complain to much as it is November....GET IN!!
