Hi,

Haneda airport to Tokyo is only about 40mins to 1hour.
its like for us to get to Clementi from town.

Last train to Tokyo is 1145pm so no need to worry too much. can practically stay in any part of Tokyo. (^-^)

Best way to travel around in Tokyo, via subway.
You can do a search for Tokyo subway pass.

Thanks for your great advice! Have just decided to go Tokyo for cny holidays so no research done yet. Sorry for the boring qn!

Can I just seek your quick recommendation again on nice quaint countryside towns outside of Tokyo reachable by train, something like a day or 2 trip? Appreciate it!

You can try Nikko, Yokohama or Nagano.

But that's still very early in the winter/snow season though. The snow doesn't really get going until mid-December or later. We've been to Karuizawa twice in mid-December and there was enough snow (natural and human-assisted) to ski on.

Karuizawa is about an hour by bullet train from Tokyo Station.
