No need snow tyre. 4WD or Fwd car enough already.
I suggest 2D 1 N
Go Hakone by Train.
Go Hakone first Then Gotemba at Noon. Reach Kawaguchi at evening. Next morning wake up early have a walk around lake. Check out then heading back to Tokyo by Bus.

The typhoon wont be here the whole month. Its already left Tokyo and the sun is finally out today. Has been raining for the whole week. However you wouldnt know what typhoon will come later.

I just found out that it is very rude to eat while walking in japan. I did it few times while eating ice cream during my last trip there. Now feel so ashamed.

How about eat while standing? Example I buy food from Lawson then eat in front/beside the lawson store?

I know some stall provide sitting/standing place to consume their food but how about those which doesn't provide. Have to find some bench then only can sit and eat?

Sorry for asking lame questions. I don't to be rude to the host country.

Too slow. Useful index I give 40/100.
Focus on Limited Express train more better.

This one sure I know.
You want go Shirawago then take limited express to Takayama first then only change to bus. If using this pass have to take bus from Nagoya to Shirawago......too slow

i just realise when i reach haneda airport is about 10pm. hence i think it is not available to pick up at airport. so if i pick up at hotel can i choose the next day to save 1 day rate? but got 1 issue is i worry the next day  i will checkout quite early and the wifi not yet reach the hotel. any experience for this?

go plan and book a hotel straight away. Good hotel rooms with good locations usually sold out really early

Oh...then it wasn't as cold as I imagined. I thought it would be damn cold and need thick jacket

Btw, when you said layering, how many layers is that?

LongJohn = Long jeans?

May i know which area is the best for accommodation in Osaka? tq

Ohhh...need to google that. Haha sorry I am bad at fashion stuff

EDIT: Errr...longjohn looks ugly What do you think if I wear t-shirt + long jeans + winter wear like this (Winter clothing)

I m quite worry if it will be too cold during nov in japan.. especially when travelling to kawaguchiko lake with my 2 year old kid. According to forecast will be (1 - 10celcius) and the temperature may drop further down if the wind is blowing

any chances there will be snowing during november?

My friend told me that we can get warm pack easily from convenience store?

sorry: abit off topic here
any has review on uniqlo heattech? plan to buy few pieces for her as inner wear, with long sleeve and jacket on top, as well as scarf/cap/gloves.
Quite difficult to get winter clothes for her size thou.. i have tried wintertime and universal traveller, it's all too big for her, may be i need to "taobao" but worry about the quality. Any suggestion where to get the winter clothes for toddler in malaysia?

many thanks

Cause I am a big sized so usually I avoid wearing tight clothes cause I sweat and it will be uncomfortable That is why I try to avoid long johns. My idea now would be T shirt, jacket, long jeans and scarf cause it will be easy to move around...but not sure can tahan the cold or not cause I'll be outdoor a lot - visiting temples, streets and others
