Mick Rich-san, the only reason why I picked Newport was because it was on the Japanese booking site and it was about 2 days before departure. The booking site had real time availability. The hotel also had a dinner with all you can drink special. It was lucky that we got there on time because as with most hotels, the dinnertime is set. If you are late, then you are out of luck. The dinner was just so-so, but the draft beer made up for it. Hotel Tagawa (No. 12 on the accommodations map) and Kitashiga Holiday inn (No. 10) looked like they were ferrying a lot of people up the hill.

One thing, I only spent one night there. It would be better to spend 2 nights at the hotel or stay at one of the places down the hill since I lugged all my gear up there in the evening, rushing to get dinner, only to have to take the snowcat down the hill to put my stuff back in the car in the morning since checkout time was 10 am...

If you can speak fluent Japanese, then you are all set, anyplace would be fine. If not, I would have a Japanese speaking friend call the Ryuoo information center to find out who can handle English speakers...

That's brilliant Dyna, much appreciated. Was planning to stay 2 nights in mid-March, so am hoping to find some cheap Spring deals - otherwise I'm tempted to take my chances and rock up there with nothing but a stupid smile and some basic nihongo! lol

& another thanks from me, as the info was also really useful for my visit there last week! :thumbsup:

Sadly the conditions weren't great but it's whetted my appetite for a return trip to those trees in Kiotoshi "b"!!! :D
