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

(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...

(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.
