Winter during February - How cold does it really feel?

My colleagues who's been there before claimed it's not as cold as Cameron due to the hot sun.

How about at night when it reaches 5'C?

may i check with you if you're going to buy osaka unlimited pass from klook? or there's better option out there?

and see you there

anyone used ninjawifi before? good? i like that it also provide rental on usb adaptor & power bank.

NinjaWifi

pls let me know if you have better recommendations. thank you.

i used Shinkansen "smartEX app" to book & choose my reserved seat.

correct me if i'm wrong - reserved seat, u need to take the specific train at the specific time. but if you missed it, u can take next train but on the unreserved seat car this time.

unreserved seat - any of the shinkansen train, any time as long as within that day (some say within 3days) but no guarantee seat for you at the unreserved car. it'll be on who can get the seat first. which is why if u get on the train from the end of the station like tokyo or shin-osaka, you'll most probably can get a seat for the unreserved train.

this is based on my understanding from my limited online research so far.

may i know why u think booking shinkansen online are dumb?
i booked mine through their app...is it also dumb?


i'm planning to buy the bus ticket to lake kawaguchiko or one of it's surroundings area. what other method would u recommend? shinkansen train? maybe i'll take this one my way home....trying to keep my transportation cost minimal, if possible.

my worry is not fighting for the same bus ticket wif the local Japanese. but wif the other tourist. seems like the Chinese are coming in like flocks during this week.

Yo. i'm going there next monday. how abt u? getting excited yet? i'm not yet.. maybe tmr or when i reach the airport. lol.

just exchanged myr to jpy. feel sad seeing how my thick stack of rm50 changed to a thin JPY...

i thought of that too...after watching a YouTuber saying the same thing.

But i changed my mind last minute when i realized i may not easily get the E seat, as i'll be getting onto the shinkansen train from kyoto, which from what i researched is not the last station. so...lesser chance on getting that E seat to view mt fuji. and i do not want to waste much time waiting for that empty E seat train, when the price difference is only ard rm12~ (per adult seat) for a guaranteed seat and on the seat wif the window view that I desired.

what do you mean by that program bug that shows all & block if choose English? i used the smartEX app to purchased the tickets.

wohhh....u staying there?

btw, thanks for the recommendation on JR Excursion train to Mt Fuji. will look into it.

the bug sounds like an intended feature then...

noted oredi on that Arakurayama Sengen Park wif that kinda miniature red temple. from YT, there seems to be high climb to it though...

i thought winter is the best time to get a clear view of mt fuji, no?

also noted on that now famous clock shop street/town.

thanks for the many great tips!!
