Rezz- Need Help!!

hi

im just wondering if you could get me a detailed online map of the Gunma prefecture Maebashi city, or what the nearest port of shipping is exporting to Australia??

thanks

I'd guess that the nearest port to Gunma ken would be Yokohama (Tokyo).

On a map, it looks closer to Niigata (where I live) - which is a major port (biggest in the west). But being on the west coast, I wouldn't be confident that there is a company that ships to australia from there. I hope there is though, as it would be a hell of a lot cheaper for me when the time comes.

In any case, it certainly would be likely that Yokohama is the easiest route from Gunma.

oh, and here's the city's website: http://www.city.maebashi.gunma.jp/

here's a smaller version, but in english: http://www.city.maebashi.gunma.jp/english/index.htm

Heres Gunma Prefectures site in English...

Heres a map of Gunma as requested:

The trouble is, Gunma is completely landlocked, so yeah, Yokohama is the sure bet for shipping to Australia.

I live in Kobe, but from Kobe, ships don't actually go to Perth WA, so I had to transport my car to Nagoya, then to Perth... it's no big deal really.

were you after a map of gunma? or the city? Actually, I'm kind of curious as to why you want a map...

in any case, the prefecture itself is adjacent to Saitama (Saitama is south) - which is next door to Tokyo. Niigata is on its northern side (japan alps run along the border). Both Yokohama and Niigata city are major ports, but, as I said, Yokohama is more than likely the best option.

geography 101!

DaiOni and Rezz - Do you know any Shipping companies that will ship Containers to Australia...
