Wow… sounds freezing! Weather that bad, most likely will be visiting places with shelter smile.gif

8yo... fingers crossed sweat.gif
we're going mid April next year, might miss some sakura viewings but just in time for the opening of the Tateyama alpen route

was recently looking at those speedtimer panda-el-primero-ish choronos, before that was those black dial SARX presages... let's see how the temptation dries out these couple of months, where did you go? i'm just planning to go to the bic camera in akihabara to get a g-shock for the kid

mid April x sejuk, should be fine I guess?
regent can advice you better on the weather conditions

I pass by zenith, the el primero all ada stock
I went to osaka/kyoto
I remember a fren told me the SS gshock cheaper in japan

I just ask my friend at Tokyo search for you. He confirm that 7.30am train leaving at Shinjuku Station  does stop at Shimoyoshoda Station.  But 2023 April you make sure one more time at Shinjuku JR Ticket Office. 

From Shimoyoshida Station to Kawaguchiko Station are no longer under JR Pass. You need buy local train ticket, approx 300 yen per pax.

About hiking that Pagoda, yes, 7.30am train are crucial because it stop at Shimoyoshoda Station. When you reach Station already 9am.  Gam Gam perfect for hiking. But make sure that day no rain on that day and previous day (night) or cloudy. Waste of time if cloudy day, you can't see Shxt.

Hiking sure had to early. Early morning hiking, the air is fresh.  biggrin.gif
The reward are worth it.

yes, no kid, no wife, if I get to travel alone, sure

unless ur travelling partners are very accommodating n sporting, I think all these itinerary go down the drain... larger group of ppl, even worst

gd luck kenji, just enjoy the holiday, if weather dont permit, just find other things to chill

old ppl can't walk too much yea, too much public transport not easy for them unlike the japenis which are already used to it
ur itinerary with too much walking would need to be cut short

during my last trip, only one place accept fully cash only(both the ticketing area and makan area), the rest all card/cash is fine

best is to have all options in hand, I had cash, coins, multi currency card (macam wise) and also CC
