Looking for snow

Hello Katrina,

Japan is pretty great when it comes down to snow. There are many places you could visit. Personally I'd take the Shinkansen into Nagano prefecture and visit a resort there, such as Yuzawa. There's a great website http://snowjapan.com/ which has a lot of information. I don't have kids myself, so I may not be the best one to ask for direct recommendations. However Nozowa (also in Nagano) is very popular with kids and also has some great onsen.

2.) It looks good, if you are considering visiting Universal City in Osaka, then I would recommend doing so as early as possible as it could get crowded near the end of the year.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Thank you Daniel!
Travel time is a major consideration though. Is there any other place to consider aside from Nagano closer to Tokyo? :)

Hello again!

Gala Yuzawa is a great place for snow and can even be visited as a day trip from Tokyo. Might be worth your consideration :)

Alright, we'll check that out.
Thank you again Daniel!

Hi Daniel! I just want to take the time to thank you. We went to Gala Yuzawa today and it was perfect! the kids enjoyed playing in the snow and the place was so accessible. It was exactly what we were looking for. Thank you for your recommendation. Much much appreciated!

Hi Katrina,

Happy to hear it!

Make the most of your time in Japan,
Daniel
