... haha, Fuck that. Time to walk.

Solution to this situation: Walk there with your hot, busty wife holding her hand the entire way.

For future trips, bring a bicycle.

You can ride the donkey to the top of the ridge, or you can ride the tram. It is the same price.

as a side note, it appears that's about 112 euros or 144 dollars.

I swear I could hear a voice saying, "It wouldn't be such a big deal to go home right now, would it?" :-)

Well, it requires all sorts of maintenance costs, so I guess it can't be helped. And they can't do business during the winter season.

By the way, it seems there's a mountain-climbing route too. But there's no way I could do that! :-)

Reader-added tags include "<●><●>", "Hang in there, wallet-san", and "Your eyes are dead, you two".

The survey's hoping for guidance:

How far should we go?
• Kurobe Dam
• Kurobedaira
• Daikanbō
• Hang in there to Tateyama Station
• Have tea and go home

There goes your snack and sweet budget for the whole year..

It'll probably take an hour to get there on bicycle. Might was well have some tea and head on home.

To that (and the price of Kogasauthor's trip) I say...

"You can ride the donkey to the top of the rim OR YOU CAN RIDE THIS (certain foul gesture), IT IS THE SAME PRICE!!"

...god, I love Ron White. XD

Wow... that's a lot of money. Well, it's worth, right, Kogasa-san? Or maybe it is time to walk. Exercise does the body good, as they say, and as long as Yuyuko-sama doesn't know, nothing bad could come of it. Don't let money be a problem, reach for the top, Kogasa-san!

For the poll, in that spirit, Daikanbo, because go all the way, or go home, and Kogasa-san and Sanae-san aren't quitters, right?

That's a lot of waypoints. At times like these, the real world could use the ability to fly individually (Gensokyo-style).

I go with the tea and cut my losses.
