most hotel are haunted and more scary.

Japanese mostly (90%)won't commit suicide inside apartment or hotel room. They normally choose jump from train platform. As a guy in Japan more than 15 years, I encountered this matter more than 100 times, I even witness a guy jump off infront of my eye and instant shredded into pieces by train.

Everytime you heard a train suddenly emergency brake announcement, 70% you know someone just jump off from platform somewhere and whole train system will stall.


For those apartments that had casualties cases 99% are old folk. Japanese old folk house, you don't have 1 billion yen also can't stay. So, 90% Japanese old people are staying in their apartment until last breath.

Hi,

Is Naeba Ski Resort idea for just casual visit as not keen on skiing or any snow activity.

Thanks.

No. If you want to experience very very thick snow. Yuzawa Town can experience it.
Just hop off at Echigo Yuzawa Station

Thanks for the quick reply.
For Snow Monkey excursion, would it advisable to stay at Nagano or Yuzawa?

In the meantime, will Google for more info on accommodation, clothing and flight.

Hahaha
I suggest you study the map of Japan first between Yuzawa and Nagano. If you don't mind spend 4 hrs of travelling then can go both.

Stay at Nagano if you want to see Snow monkey. Make sure you wear water resistant boot not sneaker.

Appreciate the tip on wearing proper boot there 😉.

If it's not to much to ask, we would like to hear more about your travel experience at Nagano or Yuzawa.

I believe the reader in here , especially me are keen to find out first hand from you.

Interact more with flight attendant when u fly and you will know how haunted the hotels are in Japan.

Sometimes the crew from 3-4 room will all come down and sit in the lobby till morning as they encounter "things" in their rooms.

For the past 30 years of my traveling, I have heard my fair share of haunted hotels stories and Taiwan (taipei) tops the list followed by Japan

Yuzawa had nothing to see or great to eat except ski. If you want to see very very thick snow wall, Yuzawa are one of spot you must see. Just step out from station west exit, instant thick snow wall and heavy snow falling.

From Tokyo to Yuzawa, don't take Shinkansen if you want witness the might incredible snow scenic view.

Nagano got more sightseeing. Snow monkey, kamikochi trail walk (Japan swiss Alps) and Tateyama Alpine Route (March to November)

Thank you very much.

Hi all, not sure if it's relevant here.

Anyone has any experience booking AA flight to Japan 1 year in advance? Saw some cheap promo (which will end 6th Nov). I know they probably will have more of these sort of deals in the future, but thinking if it's wise to get it now to secure the seat.

hi bro, for Tateyama Alpine Route. I saw its open from April to November 2022 this year.

If for March, if the route is not open in 2023. What else can we do if we go there?
Possible to see the route from top or something like that?

Thanks in advance for the information sharing

Nothing you can do if the route is closed. Unless you rich enough for hire helicopter ride, and view the entire tateyama route from sky.

Alternate tourist destination near to Tateyama route was Kurobe Gorge. Riding the sightseeing little train and view are beautiful but not as Tateyama and Kamikochi

Hi Bro, any recommendation for 1 week Tokyo trip on Dec please? Solo and just wanna take it slow and chill around.

Anyone arriving at Narita recently eg this week?
How's the immigration & custom clearance? How many hours from disembark from plane until u board MRT?

This depends which airlines you using. JAL are T2, ANA are T1. Low-Cost carrier are T3.

T3 are the fastest, avg 30- 60 min but need 10 min walk to T2 for the train station.
T1 & T2 avg 60-90 min

If mid Dec, there are Christmas market, illumination in many places.

Usual tourist place in Tokyo will be, Shinjuku (Kabukicho), Skytree, Teamlab planet, Oedo Onsen at Urayasu, Shibuya, Harajuku, Meiji-jingu Shrine, Sensoji, Small World, several theme parks, pet cafe, Tsujiki outer market etc

hi guys...can overnight at haneda airport or not now like before?

Thanks bro for replying. I'm using SQ, so landing at T1 Narita.


Anyone fill the last portion "Test result certificate for test taken less than 72 hours before departure"? Should be "No" right?
I'm Sinovac 3 shots and received email that they have accepted the image of my vaccination certificate.

Hi hi, does anyone know how busy or packed in Tokyo/Osaka/Kyoto in March vs November? I'd imagine it to be roughly the same but many people might not be prepare to travel Japan next year March yet. I might be wrong though.. haha
