taguchi 0 Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I can see why some people don't like Zao but I think it is a great place one of my favorite. Link to post Share on other sites
ShinyDiscoBall 2 Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Can you tell us why taguchi? That place really does seem to be either love or hate. Link to post Share on other sites
HoTRoD 2 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 The reason why some people don't like it is probably the lift system which is not the best (!) - a lot of walking involved. Check the reviews on here and you'll see more! Link to post Share on other sites
lin 0 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I've never heard anyone say anything good about Sugadaira. But Karuizawa is probably the one I hear most bad stuff about Link to post Share on other sites

So its nothing to do with riding but its a tick in the positive box.... Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 That doesn't count Sugadaira gets some big numbers of skiers/boarders though, so I heard. So there must be some appeal. Link to post Share on other sites
lin 0 Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 It's interesting. I don't know the place myself but it doesn't seem to be a place that is particularly easy to reach either. How far away is it from Nagano city? Link to post Share on other sites

BagOfCrisps 24 Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 One thing I hate - wherever it is - is getting ripped off for parking. I'm used to getting ripped off (living in England you see), but parking particularly gets on my nerves. Link to post Share on other sites
JellyBelly 1 Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 For some strange reason I get the impression parking is more expensive in southern resorts than in Nagano/Niigata/etc. Sure seems that way in my limited experience. Wonder why that is. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Local place with one lift about 300 meters long. Costs 4000 yen a day, curry raisu is 850 yen, parking is 1000 yen. A joke! Link to post Share on other sites
