yeah, think osaka and tokyo much better.

RC, i've search high and low and to no avail, i need to ask you this......

During end of March 21st, do you think the road from Matsumoto to Takayama (route 158) will be covered in snow and ice? Cos it's almost spring d right?

will owakudani (ropeway) be open come NOV?? anyone got info on this?

Has anyone arrived in Japan through Nagoya? I'll be landing in Nagoya on the 12th and this will be my first time arriving in Nagoya. Does anyone know if there's any wifi rental booth in the airport which doesn't require booking first?

Hi, i planning to do this
Tokyo -> Lake Kawaguchiko -> Tokyo.
Will be spending one night in Lake Kawaguchiko.

However, i would like to make a pit stop to hakone, and visit the Hakone area before checking in hotel in Lake Kawaguchiko. I also want to visit the gotemba outlet while i'm at it.

My question is, is it sufficient to cover so all of these place in 2D1N? or should i extend another night in lake kawaguchi and use the Fuji Hakone Pass to travel between this 2 place?

do you know that hakone and lake kawaguchiko is like in the opposite directions? It's not near.......

When I googled, I do come across Niseko. I m heading there in mid-March. Preferred some where closed to Sapporo as we dont have so much time to wandering around...

Anyway, I'm looking at the website now... Let's see how it goes ... And Thank you for your suggestion!

hmm.... 60% I think still ok to drive with snow tires + 4WD....hor?

So what do you suggest? 2D1N or 3D2N to cover areas in hakone, gotemba and mt.fuji.

yeah, stay one night in fuji and one night in hakone. you can do daytrip to hakone too but worry rush lor

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.

Thanks!

Hi, 5th station closed in mid-December? Is the public bus from Kawaguchiko still go up to 5th station or to 4th station when there is snow? Want to experience the above clouds feeling.

Subaru 5th station are open even was snowing and there are bus from Kawaguchi to it. It also have bus from Subaru 5th Station to Tokyo Shinjuku.

Thanks @RegentCid.
My initial plan was similar with your suggestion.
Just worry whether is doable or not initially.
So i guess 2D1N is ok.
