 Posted: Fri Oct 27, 2006 1:32 pm Post subject: Winter vacation - what to do? |
 |
|
Coming up to the winter vacation and it being my first winter here, I'm trying to work out what people do in Japan in winter. I have already planned to go skiing for 4 days (not a big skiier, so wouldn't really want to go for longer), but what to do with my other 10 days of leave??
Any suggestions are appreciated. (I'm in Osaka).
Cheers. |

| I'm off to China. It's cheaper to fly out of Japan than it is to travel within I find. |

Yeah except where all the flights to where you want to go fill up three months before you even knew you wanted to go there... 
I am going to visit friends in Tokyo I think, where it is warm compared to winter here. |

| Okinawa is nice...although I'm not sure how expensive it would be that time of year. |

Weather's not good in Okinawa in the winter. If you want to go in the winter check when the whales are migrating through, unmissable, I think it happens in February?
Best thing to do for winterin Japan is to go to some beautiful ski resorts and check out the worlds best onsen. |

some friends of mine are going to the snow festival in Sapporo.
But... I am from Montreal. I have been to Carnivale in Quebec City and let me tell you fun in the snow is overrated. So, last effing thing I want to do in Japan is go see SNOW. Ugh. Came here to get away from that. Well not solely but it was a benefit.
So I'm going to Thailand. |
