Day 2
Day 2 - Narita to Naeba
March 28, 2018 in Japan ⋅ 🌙 7 °C
Woke up very early at Narita and then headed back to the airport to exchange the JR pass. We caught the 9:19am NEX to Tokyo and then onto the shinkansen to Echigo-yuzawa station arriving at noon. We then found a place to eat lunch and hubby tried some Sake at the sake museum (sake tasting). Then at 2:20pm we boarded the bus headed for Naeba. It was a suprisingly snow filled climb up the mountain to Naeba (40mins). Here we were treated well, given free breakfast for all of us and free lift tickets for one day. We had to change rooms after our first room was well above 30 degrees and too hot to stay in. Staff were very accommodating to move us. The complex is huge, we had an early bite for dinner at the food court, and we will hit the slopes tomorrow.Read more

Day 3
Day 3 - Naeba
March 29, 2018 in Japan ⋅ 🌙 3 °C
Woke up very early again and watched the snow groomers from our 10th floor window. We then had our breakfast buffet (free thanks to Seibu club), then got our rental gear - very expensive at about $500 for 2 days - but was not worth bringing gear for only 2 days on snow. Bit more tolerable when it is for 4 people - and when the front desk gave us free lift tickets for our stay.

We headed out to the snow a bit before 9, and it was already hot, forecast 17degrees. We ditched the beanies, gloves and jackets. We spent some time getting Oscar used to skiing. We then hit the chair lifts for a few green slope runs. We had oscar both between Jason's legs and using the ski harness out front. The we decided to take the gondola up near top to ski a green run and use its chairlift. Oscar was doing well. We then stopped for CoCo Curry at their top of mountain restaurant. Views were amazing.

After that things weren't that well thought out. We decided to ski Oscar down - a few red runs and green runs. Some were very steep. At time Jason piggy backed him, others he skiied and the last bit we were all too buggered, so Oscar, Dale and I bum slid down a fair chunk of the steep ski run. Not doing that again.
So at 2pm we called it quits and headed back to the room.

Before dinner we walked through the complex. It takes about 10mins to walk from one end to the other. Grabbed some pizza for dinner, and retired early.Read more

Day 4 - Naeba

Up early and had the buffet breakfast at the hotel (free thanks to Seibu club). Then we hit the slopes early. It eas much colder today thankfully and there was a bit of light wind. The snow was better in the morning, but got chopped up pretty quickly. Oscar has been a champion and skiied well tethered by Jason. Dale is loving it too. We did about 6 runs of the green slope right out front of the hotel.

At 11am we headed to the kids play area (4,400¥) were we had some fun on the snow tubes and sledges. The tubing was lots of fun. At 12 we headed for food. Dale and I got waffles, Jason got paella and Oscar chicken - bonus we were able to use tomorrow's breakfast vouchers to pay for lunch (as we plan to depart before breakfast).

At 2pm we went back out into the slush for a few more runs. At 3pm back to the kids snow park for some more tubing fun. At 4pm we were done. Returned the rental gear. Packed a bag to taqbin to yokohama and grabbed some dinner. We also got to spend the 2000¥ in vouchers we got for not having our room cleaned daily.

Early night as we plan on catching a 7am bus out.Read more
