muikabochi 208 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I avoid places at New Year. But in general when I have been to Shiga Kogen the busiest part has been Ichinose. Okushiga / Yakebitaiyama and Yokoteyama / Kumanoyu at the extreme points of the resort have been the least busy. Link to post Share on other sites
skidaisuki 0 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Parksie - a lot of the backpacker places in Hakuba have their own vans to drive you around, so if you ask nicely and if it suits them you won't have to even wait for a shuttle or pay for a taxi. Perhaps Fattwins gaff can do that. Ralph - not sure. Oshogatsu itself is usually a bit quieter than other times as most of the Japanese skiiers are at home celebrating. Ichinose is my recommendation overall. Not very exciting for nightlife, but you should be so tired with all the good skiing / boarding to be had that it won't matter Link to post Share on other sites
