 Poster: A snowHead
|
Been a while since I last posted!
But might be relocating to Singapore, but couldn't live without skiing for any length of time.
Anyone know the best places to go to from Singapore? How easy is it?
Japan would seem to be the obvious geographical choice, but is there something I'm missing?
Any help will be mucho appreciado.

Direct flights from Singapore to New Chitose on Hokkaido.
2-3 hr transfer to the Niseko Resort Area.
Fill your boots.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Haven't been able to find any direct flights... Do you know which airlines fly direct? Possible to take a train from Tokyo somewhere?

Singapore has direct flight to Tokyo, not sure there is direct flight to Sapporo from Singapore.
If there is none and you want to fly to Sapporo, take Cathay Pacific to Hong Kong and change flight to Sapporo. Alternatively, fly to Tokyo and take internal flight to Sapporo.
Train journey from Tokyo to Saporro is about 9 to 10 hours with 2 changes.
If you want to ski in Naeba, Shiga Kogen, Hakuba etc. fly to Tokyo and take the Narita Express to Tokyo Station, change train to the town near your chosen resort and from there take the bus to the resort. In short - pain in the backside.

Hmm. I lived in Singapore and skied NZ and Hokkaido ((stunning snow) but flying to Geneva is not actually that bad if you ski somewhere close ish. Your journey to Hokkaido could be similar door to door

joe1890, train from Tokyo to Nagano and then switch to local train.
From Tokyo station you should be comnfortably in a bar in Japanese Alps (Naeba, Hakuba, Nozawa etc) in resort in three or fours hours.
Mind you if you, you'd have to get in to Tokyo from airport as well.
Whether you go to Hokkaido or Honshu you are going to have to deal with changes.
Would certainly be on my itinerary if I was Singapore bound (along with south east Asian beaches etc, etc).
Tough gig ; )
