Takayama and Shirakawa-go..
The scenery there is just breathless, like out of a story book.
We also had open air bath onsen....damn perfect soaking in hotspring while watching the snow falling down and with the cool air......

There wasn't really any condensation because it was cold there all the time. even when we went back indoors, it was still ok. My hubby said no need wor, just use plastic bag/shower cap and a rubber band to protect the camera from snow can liao.  biggrin.gif

aiyo, kawaguchiko there no snow one la. plus, you can't go to top of mt fuji at this time  laugh.gif
Really, plastic bag cukup liao, save the money to buy more things there....haha
It's just that you find a more prettier plastic bag loh...my hubby just take any plastic bag he saw that day...haha

btw, before you go mt fuji, check the weather forecast first one day before. And not just tokyo's weather but also Shizuoka's weather. If forecast is partly cloudy, then I can tell you, chances are very low to see the mountain liao. You can change to other days d. But this is only if your intention to go there to take photo of mt fuji la. If you have other sightseeing plans there then ok loh.

Another thing is, early morning like 7am - 8am have higher chances to view the mountain. Cos that day I went, eventhough forecast was sunny, around 10am I can see some clouds blocking the mountain d but little bit only la. So if you want perfect view with no clouds at all, early morning the best wink.gif

not top of the mountain la... mt fuji subaru line 5th station wink.gif
i read somewhere, if snow the bus wont operate... basically they open every day
hopefully im right rclxub.gif

Tokyo Subway 2-Day Ticket – Adult: 1,200 yen, Child: 600 yen
Tokyo Subway 3-Day Ticket – Adult: 1,500 yen, Child: 750 yen

if calculate on average 500yen perday...

the pass is ur ticket. just insert the pass like normal ticket into the ticket machine.
the ticket will come out after u exit certain location n once expired the ticket machine will reject ur ticket.

To those who wants to get a pocket wifi, you can consider GAC. I had wifi connections everywhere I went, even Takayama and Shirakawa-go. Alot of hotels will say they have free wifi...yeah, at the lobby area nia. Rooms are lan cables only. If they do have wifi in room, well it's not really that strong one.

or u wan my cheapskate way?

1) Airbnb hv pocket wifi
2) 7-11 free wifi
3) Toei free wifi >> http://www.kotsu.metro.tokyo.jp/eng/services/free_wi-fi.html

Not sure how true is this. I have been staying in Tokyo for a few years and so far I see a lot of people giving birth to healthy babies. Even near my neighbourhood I see a lot of newborn. Unless you say Japanese are immune to radiation......

Before this only Metro Pass, no Subway Pass. But it is the same shit, no date.

It is a ticket just like those daily ticket, the moment you use it the gate will punch a hole there indicating the starting of countdown of 3 consecutive days. I use on day 2 onwards because day 1 didn't travel much so don't want to waste on day 1.
