For my money, i can’t go past the Shinkansen for my means of long distance travel within Japan.
Not only is it a safer option, there’s much less stuffing around than with a plane, no security check, no carry-on luggage restrictions etc …
On my recent trip to Hiroshima and Kyoto i had the pleasure of riding the Shinkansen several times.
Although as a tourist there’s a JR Rail Pass you can get it’s not necessarily the best and easiest option.

On yesterdays trip to Gala Yuzawa i saw what would have to be best described as a pretty keen snowboarding family.
The youngest at the front, probably a out 5 or 6 yrs old with the wife and father close behind.
Dude-san also had his youngest strapped to his front, fast asleep mind you.

This weeks snowboarding adventure saw me take on some new territory, Kagura Ski Resort in the Yuzawa region.
Kagura is bigger and badder than the other mountains i`ve been to so far and today i have the soreness to prove it.
It`s always a great view when you get to the peak ready to get stuck into it.
You can get to Kagura by taxi or bus after arriving at the Echigo-Yuzawa station courtesy of the Shinkansen from Tokyo.
