Kokuya in Shibu onsen and Snow Monkey Park etc are our favourites.

Initially my hubby \"unwilling\" to go Snow Monkey Park as he commented what so special of these monkeys, we have lots of monkeys here....

After the trip, he voted the Snow Monkey Park as one of his favourite place :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Luvtravel,
Glad that you can enjoyed the ryokans.
I am so jealous that you had a good view of Mt Fuji from the ryokan. It was covered in clouds when I was there! I need to go again!

We loved the ryokans stay, for the yummy food and onsen !!

We are very lucky to have sunny days during our Kawaguchiko visit. We can see a clear Mt Fuji in the train towards the Kawaguchiko station. Then, have the best view of Mt Fuji when we were in Oshino Hakkai. Later, we took the rope way and boat ride but the view not as nice as what we get in Oshino Hakkai.

For the next day, the Mt Fuji was covered in clouds in the early morning. But we had a clear view when we checked out.

Later in the afternoon, we captured the sunset Mt Fuji when we were in the Gotemba outlet.

So, when is yout next trip to Japan ?? :evil: :evil:

Do you think it is the season? Someone was telling me winter normally less cloudy and clearer sky. I went in autumn........

But nowadays, weather so unpredictable lor.......

Saw comments in other forum that the best time to view Mt Fuji is during winter, and its true for my visit...

I had originally planned to go in May. Maybe to kiso valley, Matsumoto to see the black castle and alpine route? I have already redeemed my tickets. But now, as we are going UK in June with the kids, hubby thinks we should not go Japan in May. Both trips too near and afraid too much things to do in the office. So may need to cancel my redemption booking now :sad:

If I really cancel this may trip, then probably will only go in Oct or nov. Anytime earlier, hubby will say too close to London trip again

I definitely want to go again lor........

That's an idea! :please:
We were in Tokyo in Dec 14, but did not go to hakone or kawaguchiko as we were doing a central Japan trip of shirakawago and Takayama. I always think of going only spring or autumn for the Sakura or maple leaves, maybe should really go Dec again

We walked to Snow Monkey Park. The path was rather deserted and it was a memorable experience.

I didn't tell hubby how much the cost, just tell him this is the most expensive ryokan stay, else he will :yikes: :yikes:

But no regeret, the only ryokan stay that we had snow while dipping in the onsen :rahrah:

We took the bus to Snow Monkey Park as we missed the free shuttle bus provided by the ryokan. But the walk from ryokan to the park very far lei....
