Currently at Japan. Typhoon won't be passing Tokyo. Yay.

Good news. I just changed my JR pass n also ask bout Tokyo Wide Pass. It can be bought at selected JR station. I'm at shinjuku  station now

Sounkyou very touristy in that generally the ryokans/hotels are built to cater for large tour groups de. Anyway I stayed in Choyo Resort, ¥30k/night. Was OK ba, nothing particularly special or anything. More pics on blog if you interested: http://look-see-eat.blogspot.sg/2015/11/ho...nkyo-onsen.html



As for your timing ... a bit neither here nor there leh. You're already way past autumn leaves season so no koyo, yet not quite in winter sports season. See snow definitely can, just go up to daisetsuzan mountains; but those dates possibly the ski resorts haven't started operating yet (depending on your luck whether this year how early the major snow starts falling)

make sure u refuel ur car to full tank whenever is possible

there is a time i traveled from ashikawa to sapporo,
my fuel meter keep on blinking red light...
and the best part... there is no petrol station in sight

lucky it still can run another ~80km
after that i quickly exit to nearest town

the worst part, there is no petrol station there also
i hv to travel to another side of the town after asking around

at that moment i realized, japan hv very few petrol stations

Sapporo Mercure is highly recommended hotel. Since you have plenty of travelling days can consider going to Noboribetsu, Otaru and Hakodate too.

I am going there 11/6 - 11/14 let me know how's the weather and road condition

Thanks for the tips. Did you use cash or ETC on toll ways, or no tolls at all? For refueling petrol, issit cheaper paying cash than using CC? Hopefully it is not snowing yet during my travel period next month else will be troublesome.

Yeah, Typhoon 18 will miss Tokyo and the next few days will be very cooling. In fact weather for the last few days is really nice.

Hi guys, I'm planning to have a solo trip to Tokyo next year February 10 - February 17. May I know how's the weather in Tokyo on February? Did some Google and I found this Suica card seems to be the most universal card that can be used on train,vending machine,etc. Which place is best to stay which easy access to train ?

I'm no recentcid. So there won't be any tips of the month of any sort. You guys can search the previous threads or PM him for help as he mentioned in his last post.
