Dear TS, i'm going to Japan next week for 4 days only.

my family 2 adult& 2 children will decide to go Disneyland,which recommended hotel with reasonable price & well connect with train/transportation?

I search via Agoda & found APA Hotel & Resort Makuhari. but it far away from other tourist destination.

kindly advice.

Hello

I will be going to Osaka (group of 5 adults) on 13 Jan and returning from Haneda on 22 Jan. Yes, that is the coldest period of the year.

We plan to stay 3 nights in Osaka, 2 nights in Kyoto and 4 nights in Tokyo.

I have booked the accomodation in Osaka, staying in Airbnb apartment. Our stay in Kyoto and Tokyo is undecided - depends on the whether we take the Shinkansen bullet train from Kyoto to Tokyo (2.5 hr journey at about RM500 one-way, is very expensive) or the overnight bus(9 hrs at RM90), which is a tedious journey.

It is hard to decide. What do you advise? Thanks.

Have to be Boots. High enough to cover from your Ankle up to Calf. Prevent snow goes into your shoes.
if snows goes into you Shoes...Your feet will get Frost bite which is very serious problem.

LOL

Hi guys, have a few questions for those experienced in visiting Kansai Region of Japan.

I'm visiting Japan for some snow experience in early February with my family, we are a group of 7 adults and 3 kids. Will be touching down at KIX late night. The trip will be for 7 days, but only 5 full days.
My itinerary as followed:

day 1: Reached KIX via AirasiaX. estimate at 2225h. As time is of constraint and we are planning to stay in Kyoto which is far from KIX, we have decided to stay overnight in KIX airport.
Day 2: ICOCA HARUKA passs to Kyoto. Luggage drop off. Visit Arashiyama half day.
Day 3: Activate Kansai Thru pass. Hieizan trip to see snow , enryakuji temple. Night visit Nishiki market and Gion.
Day 4: Visit Nara, Fushimi Inari shrine. Night visit Kyoto Tower.
Day 5: Kobe and Himeji day trip. Night rest
Day 6: Kyoto downtown day trip. Higashiyama, Gion, Kiyomizudera.
Day 7: Free activity in the morning. Noon depart for KIX airport.

My questions are:

1. Any tips on staying overnight at Kansai Airport relatively comfrtably? I know it's not gonna be easy..but we are on a budget as well. I heard there is a nice armless chairs at the 2nd floor..just wanna know other people's experience here.
2. Will the Kansai Thru pass pay off? I was thinking of Jr West pass or Kansai Thru pass...because the house I will be staying is very near Emmachi station (which is a Jr station as well as a bus station). But then JR line is not really useful in exploring Kyoto perse and I'm planning to spend most nights exploring tokyo. (night will be early I notice)
3. Anyone has been to Hieizan? I'm planning to go there via Sakamoto cable car as it will make the kansai thrupass worth it. However I don't really understand the route there shown by hyperdia. It says there 2 transfers but there were like 5 trains change?
4. Anyone has been to biwako valley? Initially planned to go there instead of Hieizan but cable car too pricey plus not planning to ski. But I was eyeing the kids park and thought wanna know other people's opinion.
5. Anyone used Kansai Thru pass to go to Kobe/ Himeji? Is it really troublesome?
6. Anything that I miss around Kansai region?

BTW, this is my 4th visit to Japan, 2 times to Tokyo and the 1 time to Osaka. Fell in love with this country, had to come back every year.
Is it really nice there with snow?

why u go every year
no like Korea Taiwan China or Europe

If have to choose 2 cities from

1) Osaka
2) Kobe
3) Kyoto

Seems that temperatures are up up up and snowfall is down down down this year. Hokkaido only around half of last year snowfall and Honshu even worse, some places around one quarter only.

Hope my 1st week of Feb trip still got decent snow lol.

In my plan I am going to spend 2 night at Kanazawa.
Halal food is not a problem in Osaka, Kyoto and tokyo is super easy oso.
What about Kanazawa? I don wan Indian or Middle East food.
Any recommendation there for halal or vegetarian kind of restaurant / food place?

I was there on 1st Jan 2016 haha..otherwise we might bumped into each other again for 2nd time haha. Anyway this winter probably the warmest for years. Avg temp there ~10c. Infact 2 nites ago @ Tokyo temperature only 15c...damn...

You haven't seen this year's snowfall stats. As of end-Dec, cumulative snowfall this season is 103cm. Last season was 437cm.

Last 7 days only 6cm of snow
