Minegata is now under some heat from the local land owners. As a result LDD is now closed and orders to remove all jumps have been issued. There is some contast of opinions as to when this is or was supposed to happen, so it looks like they are still there ... for now.

Mtb in Hakuba is returning to its home in the 80's.

WHERE:
Minegata is a collection of 3 trails in Hakuba. All 3 trails have stunning views of the Northern Alps. There a bunch of connecting and networking trails as well - go find them there fun too!

DESCRIPTION:
Minegata One: Short, fast and easy single track.

Nozawa Onsen, Nagano Preficture is about 3.5 to 5 hour drive from Tokyo depending on traffic. About the same as Hakuba. Its about a 1.5 hour drive from Hakuba to Nozawa Onsen it is one of Japan's quaintest little ski towns. Nozawa Onsen is the one ski resort of any size that missed the 80's bubble leaving a traditional Japanese village. Packed tight amongst its narrow windy roads are countless Ryokans, onsens and traditional eateries.
