I'm just putting the feelers out to see if there's anyone in or near Yokohama that would be interested in carpooling to Sabapara in March. I have a car and am willing to drive, but it's only an Alto, so there would be a limit of two passengers. Here's what I'm thinking:
One passenger: two bags, ~2700 yen each.
Two passengers: one bag each, ~1800 yen each.
Costs are an equal share of highway tolls and a small contribution to gas. The final price would depend on which IC we join the highway at. 'Bag' refers to something of regular suitcase size. Travel time would probably be about 1.5-2 hours there (return time would depend on traffic).
Even with one passenger, I imagine there would be a cost and time saving over going by train. Direct transport to the site! No need to lug heavy bags around! Take a nap with no risk of missing your stop! Chill with chat, snacks (BYO 😅), and music! Let me know via message, DM, or whatever if you're interested. Please note that I'll work on a policy of what's most convenient - there's no point me driving 30 minutes the wrong way burning gas. But we'll discuss things and see if we can sort something out.
