Hi savoury sweet,savoury sweet:
Hi all,
anyone knows how much S$ to change for Hokkaido trip for a family of 4??
S$2k , enough? or too much/little ? breakfast/lunch/dinner provided except for 1 lunch in Sapporo and snow mobile activities. Hope you all can advise. Thanks
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.
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 -

If you are visiting the disneyland and disneysea, I would suggest you do a 2 day trip.(1 day for Disneyland and 1 day for Disneysea)
I felt 6 days is fine to travel in Tokyo, not too much at all .
As for whether to book through agent or various website ,it is all up to you.
Getting to the hotel from the airport is quite easy, they have airport limo just outside the airport to bring you direct to the hotel. -
Hi BBEwee, thanks !
We will look at 2 nights in disneyland & sea, 1 (2) night in Hakone and then 2 (3) nights in city. Will check with JTB also. -
Hihi
I will like to check how fellow KSP settle the luggage at disneyland as the hotel check in is 3pm and any comments on shinjuku Washington hotel?
How to go hello kitty land from shinjuku?
Will we get to see cherry blossom in 1st week of April?
:thankyou: in advance -
If you’ve been to Osaka, can share which hotel is nice (near and easy access to shopping arcades and subway station?) and not too expensive? Should I be worried about the radiation from Fukushima nuclear plant? I know it’s quite far away and it’s been quite some time, but I read somewhere that radiation will linger for decades…not sure how true it is?

1) Appreciate a heads-up if there is any promotion of airfares to Tokyo in late Oct, please.
2) Anybody stayed in a ryokan which has a fantastic view of Kawaguchi-ko and Mt Fuji, please share more info.
Thank you.
