Hi savoury sweet,

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.

Will be spending 3 weeks in Japan in Dec and appreciate any recommendations on places of interest. Still deciding on which child-friendly

Ski resort to visit. Already booked 3 nites at Disneyland Hotel and hope DS will have a great time..

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.

No problem,enjoy ur holiday.
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.

Hi we are considering to go Tokyo Disneyland sometime in May before the school holidays with our 2 active kids (6 and 3). Hope fellow KSP can give some advise.


Is it better to book with agent or book from various website ?

Is it easy to get around by ourselves ? We don’t intend to travel much, 1 or 2 days in disneyland / sea, do some shopping and relax.

Is 6 nights too much if we are not going to venture out ?

TIA
