Yaotsu Town Tour!
The events keep coming!
Does beautiful nature, light hiking, and rich history peak your interest?
Gifu AJET is proud to announce another great chance to see our beautiful prefecture.
On September 6th we will have a special tour of Yaotsu, a small town full of interesting and historical sites. Yaotsu is located in the southern half of Chuno, and is quite a great town!

2)詳細
まずは名古屋ツアーから！
こちらの主な対象は、
夏に日本に来たばっかりの外国人ですが、参加は誰でもOKです！
JR名古屋駅内のエスカレータ下時計前に1時に集合して、
名駅や栄などを案内していきます！
岐阜や名古屋の皆さんにとっては、慣れ親しんだ場所かもしれませんが、
外国の人は、思いがけないところに突っ込むので、
日本の当たり前を、別の視点から感じることができます！
気軽にカルチャーショックが楽しめます！笑
興味がある人はぜひ来てみてください！
そして、ビアガーデン！
いろんな国の人が来ますので、世界各地に友達ができます！
ほとんどの人は、日本文化や日本語に興味があって日本にきている人なので、
言葉の壁とか関係なく簡単に友達になれますし、かなりエネルギーをもらえます！
グローバル時代といわれる今、いろんな人と接して、
いろんな価値観を理解、尊重することは、とても重要です！
でも実際、忙しい日本で、海外に長期で行って、
現地の人と知り合う機会は、なかなかないものです！
こうしたイベントは、日本にいながらそういう経験ができる、絶好のものです！
そうすることで、日本についての理解も深まります！
ぜひみんなで、楽しく飲みましょう！！
というわけで、たくさんの人の参加をお待ちしてます！！

The 2009 Sayonara Party, June 27th - 28th!
OK! Summer is pretty much here, and that means one thing:
PARTY TIME!
The 2009 Sayonara Party (Extravaganza-Hoopla) is coming up, and we need you there! Get ready for a night full of food, drinking, friends, and fun! 85 people is the max, so get on quick!
WHEN: Sat June 27th (16:00) to Sun June 28th (12:00, noon)
WHERE: Fureai no Yakata Kashimo, that big, beautiful, wonderful wooden lodge in Kashimo (ふれあいのやかた かしも）
COST: 4500yen
WHO: anyone and everyone are welcome! Invite your friends! (85 person cap)
***RSVP to gifu_ajet@yahoo. com NO LATER than WED JUNE 24th, 12:00pm noon*** (Make sure "Sayonara Party 2009" is in the subject)
include:
-NAME
-KEITAI #
-COMING BY CAR or TRAIN?
CARS SHOULD BE FULL!
(IF BY CAR, WHO IS THE DRIVER?)
(IF YOU'RE A DRIVER, DO YOU HAVE CARPOOL ROOM? CAN YOU
HELP PICK UP OTHERS FROM THE STATION?)
IF BY TRAIN, WHAT TIME PICKUP? (15:30 and 16:30 on Saturday, if you
don't know yet, RSVP now and let us know later)
-FOOD REQUIREMENTS (Vegetarian or "Regular", Allergies, Etc.)
***LIMIT 85 PEOPLE***
(and don't forget to RSVP for any friends you are bringing with you)
THE PLAN:
The Sayonara Party is held at Fureai no Yakata Kashimo, the same lodge as the Winter Camp. It's a casual party to hang out with friends and just enjoy the evening. There's a small river beside the lodge you can splash and float in and plenty of room inside and outside to chat and play games. Just picture it: a scenic wooden lodge, which is surrounded by beautiful mountains and full of the coolest and sexiest people in Gifu! You could be one of those people!!!
FOOD & DRINK:
Nomihodai draft beer, cocktails, and soft drinks will be available on arrival. Supper will be served around 7:30. It's a pasta extravaganza! Also, salad and snacks. Sunday breakfast will be fruit, cereal, juices, etc.
TRANSPORTATION:
CAR
***We highly encourage you to drive and carpool.*** There's some free parking at the lodge. It's more fun and it saves money for everyone.
We will send directions out at a later time.
TRAIN
***We have limited space for pickups. The first RSVP requests get the first seats. We hope to recruit more drivers to help but we cannot guarantee more than ~12 seats for each pickup time.***
Pickup times are 15:30 and 16:30. If you do not secure a seat by RSVPing early or cannot make those times, you must find your own ride to the lodge or arrange your own pickup.
Train arrival times in Gero:
From the South - 15:15 and 16:24.
From Takayama - 15:22 and 16:19
(Please see http://www.hyperdia .com/ to personalize your train times from your location, the station is GERO)
IMPORTANT DETAILS:
We will collect your payment at the front desk when you arrive and issue you your cup. Please write your name on it bold and clear. YOU ONLY GET ONE CUP!! YOU CAN ONLY USE THAT CUP!! It is the only vessel that can bring the sweet nectar we will be serving to your lips…. It is your baby! Treat it as such.
The lodge has 60 full bed sets. The RSVP limit is 85. Thus the futons are first come, first served. Even if you expect to arrive early, if you are able, please bring a sleeping bag if you can to help someone out. Snuggling up with a friend is also encouraged to save futons.
All guests are expected to help clean the cabin before leaving. When every one pitches in, it makes for quite easy work, especially if we help in other areas after finishing our own. There will be cleaning rosters posted around the lodge. Also, keep in mind that our mess is our cleaning.
Drinks and food are NOT allowed in the tatami rooms. Keep it all to the first floor kitchen, main hall, and outside. Tatami rooms are for sleeping only, no games or chatting. And please respect those already sleeping when you finally stumble into bed.
Smoking is prohibited in all indoor areas.
There will be speakers for music. Bring your iPod/music player if you like.
Don't forget bathing supplies if you plan to shower.
Please don't break anything. But if it happens, please fess up to it. We've sadly had problems with this in the past and AJET has had to foot the bill...
Please be careful if there is rain forecast anywhere in the region. The river can flashflood.
Important: the lodge has a strict 22:00 lights/music/ noise curfew (lights out in main hall, curtains down in kitchen, and music off). We can of course enjoy ourselves all night but we must be respectful and keep things down. After 22:00 the villagers of Kashimo really don't like to be disturbed by merry-making. Every year, the town gets a few complaints. The winter camp is generally not a problem since the cold weather keeps us all inside. With the summer heat, it is much nicer to be outside or have the doors and windows open. Noise carries all too well along the river that makes Kashimo so picturesque. We do not want to scare any one away; we too love a good party. But we ask that you be especially conscious of the noise and keep it to a minimum. It would be a shame and a huge loss if Gifu AJET is no longer able to use the Yakata Fureai Kashimo.
Finally, while this is a gathering of friends please be responsible for your possessions and your behavior. Don't leave valuables out where they can be damaged or taken or spilled on, and please respect those around you with your behavior and language.
***NOTE: we must receive your RSVP information by Wed, June 24th. If something comes up after that please find someone to replace you. If you do not find a replacement and are a no show/last minute cancellation/ missed your train/whatever, you will still have to pay in full.*** (Make sure "Sayonara Party 2009" is in the subject)

June Events!
Get ready to mark your calendars for the AJET events coming up in June!
The next couple months are going to speed on by as many people are getting ready to move home or elsewhere.. so let's go out with a bang folks!
*JUNE AJET EVENTS*
1) Cormorant Fishing
This annual event provides an opportunity to discover the 1,300 year-old-tradition of cormorant fishing as it has been practiced on the Nagara River in Gifu City. For those of you residing in Gifu who have not heard of this famous and time honored industry/tourist attraction, please check out the wikipedia article written primarily by the former Gifu JET CIR Doug Chinery (Cormorant Fishing on the Nagara River: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cormorant_Fishing_on_the_Nagara_River) who interpreted numerous occasions for the Gifu City mayor on cormorant viewings with important foreign visitors (political and otherwise).
We have reserved a private boat, so you can relax with your friends, drink, and talk loudly without worrying about offending small children or the elderly ;) Please bring a bento, beverages and snacks to eat while you enjoy the boat ride! An explanation of the fishing in English will also be offered during the ride, based on years of translation and research that has been passed down to AJET from Doug.
Here are the details:

Post-conference Dance Party in Nagoya!
Hello Gifu!
As most of you may know, the Gifu JET Recontracting Conference is set for this Friday, May 29th. These events are always a good time to enjoy each other's company and provide the perfect opportunity for going out together afterwards. While in the past we have often celebrated such occasions with enkais and dinner parties, this time we will be putting a twist on the annual Gifu get together.
So, strap on your dancing shoes, because we are about to head out on a night on the town, and by town we mean Nagoya! Our destination? iD cafe club in downtown Sakae! This club houses 5 floors of dance party, each offering a different music and a unique atmosphere.
Ladies looking to save some money should please check out this link to print out a coupon for FREE ENTRY before 8:00 PM! (http://www.idx-net.com/coupon/coupon_id.html)
Since not everyone may be up for an all nighter, (and some people may want to take advantage of the aforementioned discount), we will be departing from JR Gifu Station at 18:58, and arriving at Sakae around 19:30 ; )
So here's the breakdown:
Post-recontracting Conference - Get Your Groove on For the New JET Year

Nagashima Resort on April 29th!
Hello Gifu!
We hope you're enjoying the weather today! It almost feels like summer outside... Speaking of summer, what other better way to spend the warm days than outside, enjoying the wind blowing through your hair.. as you ride on the world's longest roller coaster?!!?
That's right, Gifu AJET has another super-happy-fabu-liscious event coming your way!
For those of you looking for something to tickle your tummy, hit your thrill button, relax your weary bones, or want to do some discount shopping, please come on out for a day trip to Nagashima Resort with us on April 29th!
Why? Because the massive Nagashima has something for everyone and it's just next door in Mie!
First off, Nagashima Spaland is highly-acclaimed, and holds the honorable status of second-largest amusement park in Japan (right after Tokyo Disney)! It also happens to be the home of the Steel Dragon 2000 - built in 2000 this roller coaster still retains the title of longest coaster in the world (and was the all-around largest coaster in the world until 2003)!
Check out information on other rides here (English/Chinese/Korean/Portuguese): http://www.nagashima-onsen.co.jp/resort/download.html/
Not up for amusement rides? Nagashima still has your number.. because next door to the amusement park the Jazz Dream Nagashima outlet center offers high-end brands and high quality shopping for less.
Check out their floor guide here (English/Chinese/Korean): http://www.31op.com/nagashima/foreign/index.html
Still not enough? Well, Nagashima has one more trick up it's sleeve... Yuami no Shima provides vast onsen facilities. All told the complex includes 15 different bathing areas (these are divided between men and women), as well as separated saunas. The complex also houses dining, beauty care, nap, game center, and massage rooms. At the reception desk you receive a handy wrist band which you use to purchase services additional to the typical onsen that you may take advantage of throughout the day.

March event: Aichi Hanami!
It's too late to update but we did this in March!
Now we are planning April and May events.
Please wait for more information.
Yoroshiku Ne!

Hello there again!
Just one more quick announcement about the fantastic Hanami on in Nagoya tomorrow! For those who haven't gone before, it can be a little daunting trying to find the AJET spot amongst the numerous hanami goers in the somewhat ginormous Tsurumai Park...
Soooo.. for those interested let's head on over together! Come and meet up with Matsunami and a few other friendly Gifu AJET members at JR Gifu Station at 12:00 tomorrow (Saturday) in front of the TICKET GATES.
If you're planning on coming to hanami, but can't make the 12:00 meeting time in Gifu, feel free to give us a call for directions! We should be arriving at the hanami site around 13:00, so if you contact us anytime afterwards we should be able to help you navigate the park ;)
Hope to see you there!
Your Gifu AJET Family,
[Brian, Chisako, Chris, Danielle, Emi, Erin, Ernest, Joel, Kuni, Mami, Matsunami, Misako, Nicole, Rachel, Robert, and Steve]
http://gifuajet.blogspot.com/
--------------
(Previous E-mail)
Greetings to all of you Gifu ladies and gents!
Hanami - it's not just any ordinary picnic!
We wanted to remind you that the annual Aichi AJET Hanami event in Nagoya is coming up THIS SATURDAY! (The second Hanami event is tentatively planned for Sunday, April 5th.) We officially promote this event every year, and hope that Gifu will make another great showing in 2009!
Afterall, who can resist the outdoors, beautiful cherry blossoms, eating in a park, imbibing various liquids, and hanging out with such a great crew of people?!! AAJET Hanami is always a must-attend event. As in years past, we recommend you bring a bento and any beverages of choice, and come join this classical Japanese spring pastime.
Check out the email Nicholas sent out to Gifujets for details (below) . ; )
----------
Hey ya'll this is Nicholas. I provide Social Lubrication for Aichi AJET. I just wanted to let everyone know what our hanami plans are! I copied this from our forum, so I don't know how the formatting will turn out, but hopefully it's not unreadable.
So you've seen a bunch of people running around naked at Hadaka-matsuri, you've seen a huge wooden cock rammed into the vagina shrine in Komaki, but have you popped your cherryblossomcherry yet?
Not if you came this year.
It's time for 花見!
Hanami literally means 'flower-watching' and started somewhere around the 8th Century. People used to enjoy writing seasonal poems about the beauty of the flowers, but today's sentiments can be summed up in the popular phrase '花より'c子’ : hana yori dango, which roughly means that the enjoyment of the flowers is trumped by the enjoyment of the day's refreshments.
I apologize for posting this only 2 weeks before the event, but you never know when those goddamned flowers will show us their pinkness. This year's sakura-viewing will be on two consecutive Wii-kends:
#1 Tsurumai
The first event will be held on Saturday, March 28th, whenever you feel like showing up. Tsurumai will be filled with revelers all day long, so please come at your convenience. We'll try to cop a squat at the same location as last year, but up to the minute information about our locale can be obtained by calling someone on your AAJET team (Nicholas, Roy, Deanna, etc...) on the day of the event. I'll try to post a map later. Billimack, Tom (right? RIGHT?!?), and I will be crashing near the park the night before and going early to secure a spot and, more importantly, to ensure that fun will be had for even the earliest of arrivers. Take the JR Chuo line or the Nagoya City Subway Tsurumai Line to Tsurumai station. You shouldn't have a problem finding the park from there.
So that's:
Saturday, March 28th, 2009
Tsuruma Park
ANYTIME
#2 Okazaki
The second AAJET viewing will be on Sunday, April 5th, coinciding with Ieyasu Gyoretsu, celebrating the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate, Tokugawa Ieyasu. About 1000 people dressed in samurai-garb (a few on horseback), will be marching through Okazaki town by the river. Okazaki can be reached via Meitetsu Higashi Okazaki station. From there it's a short walk. It will be in the same area as the Welcome BBQ we had in August.
If any Okazaki-ites would be willing to help me get this set up, please send me a mail. I'll be needing a place to crash the night before (should I be setting up 2 nights before?), some help deciding the best place to be setting up, as well as some festival information to make this the best Okazaki hanami possible.
Tentatively:
Sunday, April 5th, 2009
Okazaki city, by the river?
ANYTIME
Both of these events will be open to anyone you would like to bring, including but not limited to JTE's, family members, friends, enemies, and members of the armed forces of any country. As far as hanami is concerned, more people = more fun.
Directions, a cooler full of softdrinks, and light snacks will be provided by Aichi AJET. Anything else you would like is up to you to bring!
Your Gifu AJET Family,
[Brian, Chisako, Chris, Danielle, Emi, Erin, Ernest, Joel, Kuni, Mami, Matsunami, Misako, Nicole, Rachel, Robert, and Steve]

(Previous E-mail)
Greetings to all of you Gifu ladies and gents!
Hanami - it's not just any ordinary picnic!
We wanted to remind you that the annual Aichi AJET Hanami event in Nagoya is coming up THIS SATURDAY! (The second Hanami event is tentatively planned for Sunday, April 5th.) We officially promote this event every year, and hope that Gifu will make another great showing in 2009!
Afterall, who can resist the outdoors, beautiful cherry blossoms, eating in a park, imbibing various liquids, and hanging out with such a great crew of people?!! AAJET Hanami is always a must-attend event. As in years past, we recommend you bring a bento and any beverages of choice, and come join this classical Japanese spring pastime.
Check out the email Nicholas sent out to Gifujets for details (below) . ; )
----------
Hey ya'll this is Nicholas. I provide Social Lubrication for Aichi AJET. I just wanted to let everyone know what our hanami plans are! I copied this from our forum, so I don't know how the formatting will turn out, but hopefully it's not unreadable.
So you've seen a bunch of people running around naked at Hadaka-matsuri, you've seen a huge wooden cock rammed into the vagina shrine in Komaki, but have you popped your cherryblossomcherry yet?
Not if you came this year.
It's time for 花見!
Hanami literally means 'flower-watching' and started somewhere around the 8th Century. People used to enjoy writing seasonal poems about the beauty of the flowers, but today's sentiments can be summed up in the popular phrase '花より'c子’ : hana yori dango, which roughly means that the enjoyment of the flowers is trumped by the enjoyment of the day's refreshments.
I apologize for posting this only 2 weeks before the event, but you never know when those goddamned flowers will show us their pinkness. This year's sakura-viewing will be on two consecutive Wii-kends:
#1 Tsurumai
The first event will be held on Saturday, March 28th, whenever you feel like showing up. Tsurumai will be filled with revelers all day long, so please come at your convenience. We'll try to cop a squat at the same location as last year, but up to the minute information about our locale can be obtained by calling someone on your AAJET team (Nicholas, Roy, Deanna, etc...) on the day of the event. I'll try to post a map later. Billimack, Tom (right? RIGHT?!?), and I will be crashing near the park the night before and going early to secure a spot and, more importantly, to ensure that fun will be had for even the earliest of arrivers. Take the JR Chuo line or the Nagoya City Subway Tsurumai Line to Tsurumai station. You shouldn't have a problem finding the park from there.
So that's:
Saturday, March 28th, 2009
Tsuruma Park
ANYTIME
#2 Okazaki
The second AAJET viewing will be on Sunday, April 5th, coinciding with Ieyasu Gyoretsu, celebrating the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate, Tokugawa Ieyasu. About 1000 people dressed in samurai-garb (a few on horseback), will be marching through Okazaki town by the river. Okazaki can be reached via Meitetsu Higashi Okazaki station. From there it's a short walk. It will be in the same area as the Welcome BBQ we had in August.
If any Okazaki-ites would be willing to help me get this set up, please send me a mail. I'll be needing a place to crash the night before (should I be setting up 2 nights before?), some help deciding the best place to be setting up, as well as some festival information to make this the best Okazaki hanami possible.
Tentatively:
Sunday, April 5th, 2009
Okazaki city, by the river?
ANYTIME
Both of these events will be open to anyone you would like to bring, including but not limited to JTE's, family members, friends, enemies, and members of the armed forces of any country. As far as hanami is concerned, more people = more fun.
Directions, a cooler full of softdrinks, and light snacks will be provided by Aichi AJET. Anything else you would like is up to you to bring!
Your Gifu AJET Family,
[Brian, Chisako, Chris, Danielle, Emi, Erin, Ernest, Joel, Kuni, Mami, Matsunami, Misako, Nicole, Rachel, Robert, and Steve]

winter camp!
Happy long weekend doves:
As promised, here are the deets for the winter camp! We'll be descending on Kashimo from January 23rd to January 25th. Invite your friends!
There is TONS of important information in this email. Please read it all carefully to the end, **then copy, paste, and fill-in completely the RSVP from the bottom**:
THE VENUE
We have reserved the Fureai No Yakata Kashimo, a huge beautiful wood lodge located in Kashimo Village, about 20 minutes south of Gero, an area famous for its forestry. The lodge is heated and boasts 4 spacious tatami rooms upstairs for sleeping and 2 cavernous rooms downstairs for more gregarious activities. In true Japanese style, we will be responsible for cleaning the lodge before we leave on Sunday. GIFU AJET will make a roster of cleaning assignments. Remember, many hands make for easy work.
http://www.kashimo.net/fureai/
THE ACTIVITIES
Take your pick from any of the following for Saturday, January 24th:
1. SKI/SNOWBOARD AT HIDA FUNAYAMA ARKOPIA
There will be a bus to transport you and your gear from the lodge to Arkopia and back again. The bus will leave the lodge at 7:30 and arrive at the slopes about 9:00. The bus will also stop at an onsen on the return trip, so we'll all will be fresh and clean for dinner and drinks back at the lodge. If you are driving/carpooling, feel free to hit slopes whenever you like. Lifts are open 8-4:50.
**The cost of lift passes and rentals are NOT included in the cost of the camp. You must bring your own, or rent them at the slopes.**
1/2 Day Lift Pass (from 12): 2800 yen
Full Day Lift Pass (lifts start at 8): 3500 yen
Ski Set Rental (skis, boots & poles): 3000 yen
Snowboard Rental (boots & board): 4000 yen
Clothing Rental: 3000 yen
If you are interested in having ski or snowboard lessons, Arkopia offers lessons. The costs vary depending on the number of people participating, but should be around 3000 yen for a 2 hour lesson. These need to be booked in advance, so indicate if you'd like a lesson in the RSVP info below.
You can make your rentals on Saturday at the slopes. They have ski boots up to 30cm, and snowboard boots up to 32cm. You may want to call sometime in advance if you have monster gaijin feet and are concerned about availability 0577-52-2219.
For more info see http://www.arkopia.jp/ (Japanese only)
or
http://www.snowjapan.com/e/resorts/resortdetail.php?resid=316
(English only)
2. GERO ONSEN DAY TRIP
Soak your weary bones in the famous onsens of Gero. The river is lined with a variety of natural onsens, most for about 500 yen (though there is a free co-ed open air onsen on the bank of the river by the bridge!) You can explore Gero at your leisure. Get some lunch, do some shopping, maybe even go to the Gassho Village Folklore Museum. Transportation will be arranged amongst drivers.
3. RELAX AT THE LODGE
Bring some DVDs, CDs, boardgames, and books and kick back with friends for the day inside the warm cozy lodge. Go outside and build a snowman (snow in Kashimo not guaranteed) and enjoy some down time around town and in the mountains. Ahh...
COSTS AND WHAT YOU GET
Saturday Night Only - 5000yen per person
--Transport to and from Arkopia/train station/onsen
--Curry supper on Saturday night - veggie friendly
--Accommodation for Saturday night
--Showers
--Party on Saturday night
--Nomihoudai beer and cocktails
--Soft drinks and snacks
--Sunday Brunch
Friday and Saturday Nights - 6000 yen per person
--Same as above, plus:
--Accommodation for Friday night
--Breakfast Saturday morning
--A few extra hours of sleep
--More time to socialize
(We will be also going to a local restaurant Fri night 8:30-10:30. The cost is NOT included from above).
TRANSPORTATION
DRIVING/CARPOOLING:
We have transport to and from Gero station and the mountain, but we encourage you to drive/carpool to the lodge since it is MUCH cheaper than the trains and because the infrequent trains make picking up a lot of people on Friday night difficult. It also allows you to go to the mountain early if you want and/or explore however you want on Saturday. Try to set up carpools at the Midterm Conference!
Here is a Google Map w/ the lodge marked off:
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF&msa=0&msid=113672901116013304659.00044481a8cb3df0a54f9
FRI: please arrive at the lodge any time after 7:00pm. There is plenty of parking.
SAT: you can ride the bus to the slopes at 7:30am, or drive if you would like to go earlier. We will need to arrange carpools amongst the drivers for Gero/onsen daytrippers. **You can also arrive any time on Saturday.**
SUN: we need to leave the lodge by 12:00.
TRAIN
Gero station is on the Takayama line which runs from Minokamo to Takayama. It is a 30min drive to the lodge from Gero station so we will provide a ride. There are very few local trains. There are more frequent express trains, but at a much higher cost. Please see http://www.hyperdia.com to plan your trip from you location. For reference: the local train from Gifu to Gero is 1620yen one way, a little over 2 hours. The "Hida Express" is 3280yen, a little over 1 hour.
FRI: there will be 2 pickup times, 8:20pm or 10:10pm. This accomodates the local trains from both the North and South. Because of car space for pickup, we may have to balance the numbers if more people choose one time over the other.
SAT: the bus will leave for the slopes at 7:30. We will leave the slopes at 5:15, stop at the onsen, and then continue to the lodge. We will need to arrange Gero/onsen carpools for daytrippers. **People arriving by train on Saturday can arrive at any time, but will need to 1. join an onsen excursion, 2. arrange your own transportation back to the lodge, or 3. possibly join the bus back to the lodge later that evening (7ish?)**.
SUN: we will give a ride back to Gero station for those taking the trains. We will leave the lodge at 11:00.
OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS
The lodge has 60 full futon sets. The RSVP limit is up to 75. Even if you expect to arrive early, if you can please bring a sleeping bag to help someone out. Snuggling up with a friend is also encouraged to save futons, and increase warmth. We are encouraging drivers to bring bedding if they have space in their cars!
We will be collecting payment at the Midterm Conference on the 21st, and when you arrive at the lodge for non-ALTGifuJETs.
If there are any volunteers to help cook on Saturday afternoon, it would be much appreciated! Let us know if you'd like to pitch in in your RSVP e-mail.
There will be speakers for music. Bring your iPod/music player if you like.
Bring games, books, etc if you will be relaxing in the lodge on Saturday.
Don't forget ski equipment such as hat, gloves, goggles, sunscreen!, snowpants, etc.
IF YOU ARE SKIING/SNOWBOARDING: BRING YOUR HEALTH INSURANCE CARD.
Don't forget bathing supplies for the onsen and/or the lodge.
*~*~*~*Please RSVP by Tuesday January 20th*~*~*~*
There is an 75 person limit.
Copy, paste, and fill-in the following. Please separate information if replying for multiple people. Yes, it's a lot, but we need it all to make everything go smoothly. Thanks!

If you are interested in having ski or snowboard lessons, Arkopia offers lessons. The costs vary depending on the number of people participating, but should be around 3000 yen for a 2 hour lesson. These need to be booked in advance, so indicate if you'd like a lesson in the RSVP info below.
You can make your rentals on Saturday at the slopes. They have ski boots up to 30cm, and snowboard boots up to 32cm. You may want to call sometime in advance if you have monster gaijin feet and are concerned about availability 0577-52-2219.

2. GERO ONSEN DAY TRIP
Soak your weary bones in the famous onsens of Gero. The river is lined with a variety of natural onsens, most for about 500 yen (though there is a free co-ed open air onsen on the bank of the river by the bridge!) You can explore Gero at your leisure. Get some lunch, do some shopping, maybe even go to the Gassho Village Folklore Museum. Transportation will be arranged amongst drivers.
3. RELAX AT THE LODGE
Bring some DVDs, CDs, boardgames, and books and kick back with friends for the day inside the warm cozy lodge. Go outside and build a snowman (snow in Kashimo not guaranteed) and enjoy some down time around town and in the mountains. Ahh...

TRANSPORTATION
DRIVING/CARPOOLING:
We have transport to and from Gero station and the mountain, but we encourage you to drive/carpool to the lodge since it is MUCH cheaper than the trains and because the infrequent trains make picking up a lot of people on Friday night difficult. It also allows you to go to the mountain early if you want and/or explore however you want on Saturday. Try to set up carpools at the Midterm Conference!
Here is a Google Map w/ the lodge marked off:

FRI: please arrive at the lodge any time after 7:00pm. There is plenty of parking.
SAT: you can ride the bus to the slopes at 7:30am, or drive if you would like to go earlier. We will need to arrange carpools amongst the drivers for Gero/onsen daytrippers. **You can also arrive any time on Saturday.**
SUN: we need to leave the lodge by 12:00.
TRAIN
Gero station is on the Takayama line which runs from Minokamo to Takayama. It is a 30min drive to the lodge from Gero station so we will provide a ride. There are very few local trains. There are more frequent express trains, but at a much higher cost. Please see http://www.hyperdia.com to plan your trip from you location. For reference: the local train from Gifu to Gero is 1620yen one way, a little over 2 hours. The "Hida Express" is 3280yen, a little over 1 hour.
FRI: there will be 2 pickup times, 8:20pm or 10:10pm. This accomodates the local trains from both the North and South. Because of car space for pickup, we may have to balance the numbers if more people choose one time over the other.
SAT: the bus will leave for the slopes at 7:30. We will leave the slopes at 5:15, stop at the onsen, and then continue to the lodge. We will need to arrange Gero/onsen carpools for daytrippers. **People arriving by train on Saturday can arrive at any time, but will need to 1. join an onsen excursion, 2. arrange your own transportation back to the lodge, or 3. possibly join the bus back to the lodge later that evening (7ish?)**.
SUN: we will give a ride back to Gero station for those taking the trains. We will leave the lodge at 11:00.
OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS
The lodge has 60 full futon sets. The RSVP limit is up to 75. Even if you expect to arrive early, if you can please bring a sleeping bag to help someone out. Snuggling up with a friend is also encouraged to save futons, and increase warmth. We are encouraging drivers to bring bedding if they have space in their cars!
We will be collecting payment at the Midterm Conference on the 21st, and when you arrive at the lodge for non-ALTGifuJETs.
If there are any volunteers to help cook on Saturday afternoon, it would be much appreciated! Let us know if you'd like to pitch in in your RSVP e-mail.
