QUOTE(sweet_pez @ Oct 30 2017, 10:06 AM) For Shirakawa-Go, any time is a good time to visit Japan, just depend on what you're looking for. If you want snow, end Nov I'm not so sure. Even if there are, it may be little. An associate I know went in end Nov/ early Dec. Her pictures showed some snow but generally it wasn't so heavy that snow accumulated. I went on first week of January '17 and yes, it snowed and heavy enough to see & experience what I want. You can jump on the snow or lie down on it - soft as cotton. It snowed quite heavily as I was leaving (felt like rain) but awesome nonetheless. However in Takayama, there wasn't much snow but it started to snow in early Jan. Just a little.  I think I wont catch the snow for this time. Will just be there to see the village and visit some places. I am planning to do a round trip outside tokyo, and then back to tokyo. I will have fullday from 20-27. -Land Tokyo. Here is the places i wanted to cover Nikko Kawaguchiko Matsumoto Takayama / Shirakawago Yokohama Tokyo This is my 3rd time to Jap - i've covered most of tokyo so i will just spend some times for shopping in Tokyo. Will the above list too ambitious? |

QUOTE(sweet_pez @ Oct 31 2017, 10:26 AM) ...yes it's abit ambitious. Not impossible of course, but harder to enjoy much when it's hectic. You'll actually spend 1 day travelling for a night in Takayama and then a night in Shirakawa Go. Also it depends on what mode of transport you took. Thanks! ya, after studied a bit - i find it is actually tiring and transportation is costly too. I will just focus on the belowWhat happened in my previous trip: Day 1-3 in Nagoya Day 4 - Travel to Shirakawa-Go. We left in the morning and arrived in Takayama around 4pm. Stayed a night there. Day 5 - Check out Hotel @ 11am and make our way to Shirakawa-Go. Arrive appx 3pm. Stayed a night. Day 6 - Check out from the gassho-zukuri @ 10am and make our way back. Arrive Takayama ard 2-3pm. Continue journey back to Nagoya - arrive in Nagoya @ 9pm. Day 7-8 - Nagoya Even then, it was really tiring. In Nagoya, most of the days we visit surrounding places. Only on the last free day that we made a side trip. However, we utilize the Seishun 18 Kippu. Our travelling cost was low but also meant a longer journey as the pass only allows us to ride the Futsu (local) and Kyukou (Express) train. Even on Express, it took us a long journey. You may be able to save on time if you spend on the tickets. Kawaguchiko Nikko Gunma (for onsen?) Surrounding Tokyo Dropping Matsumoto too due to distance and jr tokyo wide pass doesn't cover until matsumoto. |
