Dear Daniel,
I was browsing some past posts and noticed that you have suggested Gala Yuzawa to some guests. I am Planning 2nd trip to Japan on 4 Dec - 13 Dec ( midnight flight). Was in Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto for short visits. This trip is initiated by my son's passion for cars. My son wants to attend the Nismo festival on 11 Dec. Can I know if we are to purchase any entrance ticket/pass for this event which is going to be held in Fuji Speedway? Also need your advise on my itinerary. Arriving on 4 Dec night. Spend the 5th in Tokyo, 6 to Osaka. In Osaka, plan to visit the castle and do day or half day trips to Nara and Kobe or even Kyoto. 8 Dec planning to leave for Takayama/Shiragawago or even Kanazawa.10 Dec will leave for Tokyo. 11 will spend whole day at the Fuji Speedway. 12 Dec planning to visit Yokohama/Kamakura. Hoping to see snow at Shiragawago. Or Gala Yuzawa will be a better choice!
Do you think I am trying to do too much at such a short trip. Getting the JR pass will help me with this fast pace itinerary. I look forward to receiving your reply. Thank you!
Karen
