Tokyocooney's Japan forum

Hi all Japan experts out there,

We will be spending 10 days in Japan starting 2 Dec. It's our 10th Wedding Anniversary.

Planning to spend 4 nights in Kyoto, 2 nights in Tokyo. For the remaining 3 nights, Hokkaido seems too far away and not worth the travel.

Will Nagano be a worthy substitute? We are from the tropics. We can't ski nor snowboard. But some beautiful snow scenery, some fooling around with the snow and some onsen would satisfy us. (has the snow arrived by then?)

Any expert opinion?

Thanks.
