Last year when i travel to Hokkiado Free and Easy with DH and 2 kids. S$2K was not enough at all. Maybe you might want to change a bit more, or you can bring some Sing Dollars to change at the hotel you stay in. -

Hi auntieM
The nearest Ski Resort to go from Tokyo is Appi Kogen Ski Resort.Bought my 2 kids there in 2010.
Take a shinkansen from Tokyo station to Morioka station ( 2 Hours travel time). From there, there will be shutter bus to the resort.The Resort is only open in Mid Dec. There is a kids area where kids are being look after. -
Thank you BBEwee.. ..will find out more..
Just realised there is a Legoland Discovery Centre in Tokyo.. DS is elated de..
Think DH still looking at hotels.. :faint: -

BTW,maybe u should look for hotels which are near to train station.Especially, around \"Tokyo station\"and \"Shinjuku Station\".This 2 station is the main station where transfer are done.especially Tokyo station. -

Thanks BBeWee for the information. Will change about S$3K, gotta factor in the tour leader and driver fees as well. Thanks again -
Snowed yesterday in Nagano and all perfect for skiing today. Just slightly more than an hour away from Tokyo on Shinkensen. Most ski coaches are Australian so taking lessons not a problem.. ..
As for Disneyland and Disneysea.. ...do not attempt on weekends.. The queues are really :faint: -
Cultural values of Japan are very strong.IF you pay a visit to this county then you will get a vision from this land.That is why i use to say this a land of vision.After 1970,Japan was the country who gave a challenge to westren world and introduced the new ideas like TQM and continuous production in business.
Nature of Japnies native do not let you feel that you are outsider here. -
We went Niseko, Sapporo this year. Kids had a great time with ski and playing with snow. The scenery was really fatalistic. We also enjoyed the onsen.
Hopefully, we will be able to come back again.
