me jane 0 Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Well mini Tarzan'll be 6 weeks old by December but I guess I'll have to wait until next year before introducing the toboggan! Link to post Share on other sites
SerreChe 2 Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 6 weeks... cuties aren't they!? Happy toboggan. I am sure mini tarzan will be a shredder. Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 You probably don't need telling but Tashiro gets some really really strong winds - much more than Mitsumata. It can get frustrating getting to Kagura as well, it takes longer with all those slow lifts. On a good day though... Link to post Share on other sites
Rag-Doll 0 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 SC - Mate, I had in mind more the flat runs and slows lifts as being good for kiddies. Not sure what, if any, children facilities it has. It would certainly be more interesting for all concerned than somewhere like Iwappara. Link to post Share on other sites
SerreChe 2 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I hear ya big-will. Wish they had a gondola straight up to the top from Tashiro, would be nice, never hurts to dream! RD, yeah I could not remember any kids area there, I will have to investigate a little. Link to post Share on other sites
montoya 0 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 places I've seen around yuzawa that seem to be more family-oriented are iwappara, nunoba, nakazato. nunoba is pretty close to osen-dori, you can probably play around on the lower slopes w/o needing a lift-ticket (eg bring a plastic sled, etc). for playing around on snowshoes, maybe the big central park near the river might be good. tashiro, I don't recall any kids area there. it can get mighty windy, cold and icy up there..

SerreChe 2 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Thanks for the info Montoya. Have not heard of nunoba before. Interesting, so much stuff to check out around Y! Link to post Share on other sites
montoya 0 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 nunoba is the bottom part of yuzawa-kogen, pretty easy to walk to from onsen-dori. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Naspa is probably the most family oriented, skiers only and small kids can spend time with that Pingu penguin character. Link to post Share on other sites
SerreChe 2 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Yes, Naspa sounds good if you're a skier. Did not know they had a pingu over there. Link to post Share on other sites
