here’s the price list. iwatake-mountain-resort.com/winter/rates about 6000 yen for adults. please subscribe!

This video we did 2 days. But it’s possible to do one day trip as well. Gondola to the top is available for everyone (for non-skiers as well). it takes about 30 minutes going to top (2 gondolas). but make sure to allot more time as it gets crowded. (maybe allot 2 hours to go up). you can take same gondola going down. enjoy kayo sa zao! please subscribe!

@@genobear Thank you for all the advice! I'm actually trying to plan a trip there and Tokyo with 5 days of snowboarding hahaha!

I have now finished watching this video, and it was so pleasant, thank you very much for it. You are such a cute couple. The snow area which can be visited by everyone (even by people who dont ski or snowboard), looks like a lot of fun, especially the area for the dogs, and the sling. Nice touch with the jodeling music 🙂.

yes. we were able to get some sleep as the lights inside the bus is turned off. and normally bus doesn’t go fast so it’s not shaky. but you do get to rest every 2 hours so at least you have chance to stand up and stretch a bit. yeah, arriving early is tough but good thing the hotel has waiting area so we were able to sleep in sofa. (video upcoming soon). yes the tea shop is cozy and accessible for everyone. you just need to go down by lift (for non-skiers).

yes, it’s perfect place for everyone. glad you enjoyed our video! it is also good place to visit during autumn as well.

Yes, you can still reach the top by taking two gondolas without skiing / snowboarding. First gondola you need to take is Zao Sanroku Station then switch gondola at Juhyo Kogen station until you reach the gondola top station called Jizo Sancho station. Please subscribe!

The route is from Tokyo to Iiyama via Hokuriku Shinkansen (JR East). Shinkansen from Kyoto to Tokyo is by JR West. I hope you enjoyed the video. Please help by subscribing!

It's always hard to predict the weather but hopefully March will be a good snow month for you. Please subscribe as I will be uploading more snowboarding videos at other places.

You are welcome. Glad you enjoyed it. You may check the accuweather during that time to know if its clear sky, anytime of the day is beautiful. It really depends as nature can't be controlled. Just dress properly. If you want until night illumination you can go there at afternoon then wait for it till night time. Just make sure the ice festival is still there by checking the website until when and the time it is opened. Also make sure about the bus time table or the contact number of taxi.

Thank you so much

Yes. The hotel is close to many shops and restaurants. But be aware that restaurants are fully booked during dinner so I suggest to make reservation. For more details, please watch my another youtube about Nozawa onsen town.

"Sa uulitin" means "Until next time" or "See you again next time". We are from Philippines.

@@genobear Thank you very much for the answer. Wow, I was so wrong about finish then 🙂.

I agree that normal car is also comfortable. This time the normal car seats were already full so we had no choice but to take Green car. The seat was nice and comfy.

thanks for your comment. I’ll try to keep that in mind.

Private vehicles are not allowed. definitely you cannot park at the gate. that is not allowed. you can only park at sawando bus terminal. from there, you can take bus from sawando to the bus stop near the gate. kamikochi is opened from mid april so you have chance to take bus directly to kamikochi bus terminal without walking thru the tunnel. even though it is opened. private vehicles are not allowed to enter kamikochi. you are required to take the bus. please subscribe!

@@genobear I'll be there in early April before it opens. I'll park at Sawando Bus Terminal, take the bus to the gate, and continue like you did. I saw you said it's better not to walk alone in the snow and to take a guide. What do you think about going alone in early April? Maybe there will be less snow and more people, so it could be safer? thank you for the information and the quick response!

@@danunter I think early April is okay to walk alone and may have less snow (If you adventurous and already had experience with hiking, you should be fine). Of course be always prepared with clothes for cold as it tends to get below 5C. Enjoy your walk there! Btw, check the bus schedules from Sawando bus terminal, I am not sure if there are bus schedules from Sawando to Nakanoyu bus stop during early April. In case there's no buses, you can go by taxi. Please try to use this site for bus reservation. www.highwaybus.com/gp/inbound/inbPlanList?lineId=265 I only see reservations during February but I can't see reservations yet on April. Reservations might be available 30 days ahead so try to visit this website again from March to reserve your bus.

@@danunterhi I’ll be there in early April too, 9 Apr. i’m solo traveller.

@ So kind of you, thank you for the information!

I think you can try to reserve at this site. kamakura-ouendan.net/web/kamakura_calendar.php?lang=en&food=meal please subscribe!

It takes about 30 minutes from bottom of gondola to sancho station peak (if crowded it takes more time). It depends on the weather that day. It can be sunny and no snowstorms. Please check the weather forecast that day. please subscribe!

Glad you enjoyed it. Although you won’t be able to see the snow monsters by march, you can still enjoy other places in the town! Please subscribe!

Thank you. Please subscribe!

Yes. those are snow monsters last year. This year, more snow fell so it is bigger.

@ thankyou so much!! I already subscribed since yesterday! 😆😆😆 thanks!!!

We have our own 12 point crampon. There’s no available to rent on sanso. But you can rent at Mont bell shops. But you need to reserve them a few days earlier.

@@genobear Thank you. Are you required to have a beacon and avalanche air pack?

@@YuriLemana Depends on the weather and most people bring them. Better to be safe.

We visited JTB and they arranged our tours there. Hotel also provide tours as well. please subscribe!

Thanks! Wanted to highlight this hotel as we also enjoyed it. More hotel reviews to come. Stay tuned!

The western capitalist "ethics" furthers its expansion. I expect within a couple of decades Japanese cultural standards, as far commercial concerns go, will be assimilated into the west. It's another example of private business interests distorting society.

this time about 260000 people attended it.

ah no. you don’t need to buy extra ticket. tokyo wide pass is enough. actually tokyo wide pass is already the ticket. I would suggest to reserve your seats in shinkansen using the tokyo wide pass in advance.

yes. we used tokyo wide pass for karuizawa. please subscribe!

This was shot on mid February 2024. please subscribe!

No, it’s not covered. You should get Nagano-Niigata pass. please subscribe!

We did not buy as we were learning how to ski. We manually climbed. If you are still learning, maybe no need to buy.
