Travel: Japan - General

[SG_KP1]

I’ve always wanted to go to Hokkaido. For me, the June weather would be better; I prefer 10 - 20 degrees C range when travel.


Tokyo is still on my list of stops. Osaka, Hiroshima, Fukuoka unlikely to go again…

me too; am comfortable with 10 to 20 C. Below 10C, it will become a torture for me.

10-20dC is not suitable for coats 😁 leh. Try to drive within Hokkaido, I'd recommend. If you are also visiting Honshu, fly domestic unless you looove shinkansen/ trains/ train stations & have much patience. Tokyo I feel is absolutely fantastic for shopping & gourmet, cos it's sooo much easier to manoeuvre as compared to Osaka. Osaka people (ki ga tsuyoi ?) I also appreciate less 😬

Lavendar bloom is during Jul/Aug at Farm Tomita?
I emailed and was told nothing much to see except some flowers in its greenhouse in late Mar.

Also a bit challenging to go Furano via public transport and we may give this place a miss.

March may have some snow .
Go lake Toya .
The scene n feel of light snow falling when dipping in outdoor onsen

I try to avoid (below 10C) if possible. I've been in Tokyo a couple of times in Jan-Feb when it has been around 0 - 10 degrees C. I guess it was OK because still no snow but still not my preferred temp.

I think (?) better views of Mt Fuji this time of the year though.

You mean 10dC is too warm to break out all the down coats and stuff? I much prefer pants, a long sleeve shirt, and a sport coat/blazer .

I try to avoid driving at all costs. Last time driving kept driving on the wrong side of the road and ran into a pillar when parking :rotflmao: :rotflmao: . HK and NYC (Manhattan specifically) are (or at least were) two of my other preferred destinations for no driving, eating, and convenience.

My dh enjoys driving in US the best . not so many impatient or rude drivers, esp in our neighboring countries .
I won’t drive in Hokkaido in winter , the weather can be v erratic n unpredictable, worst is we dun understand Jap so can’t check weather real time forecast fr radio station in car .
The train n ski bus are quite convenient
