just came back from tokyo-sapporo trip few days ago... my seccond trip to japan... Japan is Awesome !!!     

we travelled lake kawaguchi - nikko - tokyo (visited both disney park) - sapporo - otaru - tokyo

I missed the hokkaido earthquake and the snow storm.. The weather was very good during our travel, ranging 2degree to -4degree even sapporo feels warmer than tokyo.. just the last day, on 2/2/13 temperature in tokyo jump up until 16degree.. the sky was soo clear, mount fuji can even be seen from tokyo..
