Sick in Nozawa

24 · 06-02-2009, 10:00 PM

Hi people.

well i feel crap. some kind of stomach virus i think, hot and cold all the time and no food wants to hang about in the slightest.

we went hard all day today, amazing snow, 20cms overnight and another 15 or 20cms during the day. [img]graemlins/emoticon_skier.gif[/img]

anyhow, i don't feel up to skiing tomorrow with the crowds, so we were looking for day trips worth while in the nagano area. seems like the snow monkeys are really hard to get to on your own without a car, we will try to do an organized bus trip later next week.

so you people who know nozawa and surrounds, what are the good daytrips? we have 2 days of JR east pass, so trains are a good option, but other ideas are good...

okies there is a large shopping outlet centre in
Karuizawa - 3 stops from Nagano on the Asama Shinkansen.....

spent the day there and bought a few things - tends to appeal more to the girls (funnily enough)....heaps of outlets stores including Burton, Nike, Adidas, Puma, North Face, heaps of labels...
def. worth a day off to explore....

catch the bus to Nagano and then use your JR pass to Karuizawa....then back to Nagano for the last bus back to Nozawa...

Japanese stomach flu? I had that in Hakuba, just ask fattwins, he thought I was dieing on his dining room table! I was sick for nearly 5 days, was getting better after they took me to the hospital. It's like severe gastro and also vomiting, hmmm not good. Go see a Doctor and get some medicine 24, your travel insurance will cover it.

Hey guys,
I was wondering if you know any good links for the daily reports and forcasts for the Hak area. I am heading there on Friday and I have heard some mixed reports on what it is like at the moment.I have also been told they are forcasting the R word! Please tell me this isnt true?
