Driving to Shirakawago in winter 2010/8/5 16:07
At the end of January, how long would it take to drive from Shirakawago to Matsumoto ? If we leave Shirakawago at 2pm, would it be safe to drive this route ?
From Matsumoto, how long to drive to see the snow monkeys + how much is the toll ?
From Shiga Kogen to Nagoya Centrair airport, how long on a Friday in early Feb and what's the toll ?
If we could rent a car with ETC card (as we just did in Hokkaido), would the above tolls be reduced significantly ?
Thanks.

At the end of January, how long would it take to drive from Shirakawago to Matsumoto ?

Under normal weather conditions it should not take more than three hours.

If we leave Shirakawago at 2pm, would it be safe to drive this route ?

It depends on the road condition and your driving skills.

From Matsumoto, how long to drive to see the snow monkeys + how much is the toll ?

About 60-90 minutes and around 2000 yen in tolls one way.

From Shiga Kogen to Nagoya Centrair airport, how long on a Friday in early Feb and what's the toll ?

I estimate about 3.5 to 4 hours. And a toll of around 7000 yen one way.

If we could rent a car with ETC card (as we just did in Hokkaido), would the above tolls be reduced significantly ?

Yes. But it depends on the day of the week and time of travel.

Yes. But it depends on the day of the week and time of travel.

If we drove late afternoon on a Friday so as to arrive in Centrair airport say 7pm, how much cheaper would the toll be with an ETC card ?

Oh yes, how long to drive from Centrair airport to Shirakawago on a Sunday in late January and how much is the toll ? I have an old Road Atlas Japan which shows the expressway going only as far as Takayama but I have a feeling it now goes all the way to Shirakawago ?

f we drove late afternoon on a Friday so as to arrive in Centrair airport say 7pm, how much cheaper would the toll be with an ETC card ?

I think it would be discounted by around 10 percent.

Oh yes, how long to drive from Centrair airport to Shirakawago on a Sunday in late January and how much is the toll ?

About 3 hours and around 5500 yen in toll. With an ETC card, it would probably cost just around 1000 yen due to the weekend discount.

Yes, now it goes all the way to Shirakawago.
