QUOTE(michlove @ Dec 30 2015, 10:30 AM) you can get alot of snow in Feb. Gala Yuzawa is more like a commercialize snow resort. If you want more nature, try Takayama or Shirakawa-go. Will it be that far off Tokyo? and cost wise to those places?  |

QUOTE(michlove @ Dec 30 2015, 10:50 AM) Going to Gala Yuzawa is not cheap either. You can consider this pass : https://www.jreast.co.jp/e/tokyowidepass/ Thanks! Looks like a great pass...I wonder if I can get to Gotemba using this pass..For Takayama, I would suggest to take bus  Go do some googling yah |

QUOTE(michlove @ Jan 5 2016, 03:35 PM) Read here..... : http://www.japantoday.com/category/nationa...spring-clothing Could it change in a month's time? Should be OK at Gala Yuzawa right? DEC. 17, 2015 TOKYO — Plum trees blossoming in Kagawa Prefecture, temperatures topping 20 degrees in central Japan, stores selling spring clothing –– sounds like winter is finally over. Yet it is only one week before Christmas. The recent mild temperatures and lack of snow, abnormal for this time of the year, are causing alarm at dozens of ski resorts and businesses profiting from cold weather across the country, with a vast number of ski resorts still remaining closed, according to Japanese media reports  |
