I was referred to Rhonda by a family member. He runs his own small tour group.

@chngysworld4218 would you be willing to divulge his information?

Hello! Thanks for watching our video. There were some mosquitos but not very noticeable. You will definitely get some mosquito bites but try to apply some tropical strength repellent, it will help a lot.

Thanks cuz!

Thank you!

Hi Robby and Mary, we stayed at the Twin Deluxe room.

Thank you, it's a really nice place to stay. I hope your family enjoys the holiday at Andaz!

Thank you

We didn't spend time at the beach as we used the swimming pool but from a distance the sand looked clean and water wasn't too choppy.

Thank you

Thanks

Hello, there is some parking outside the main area. It's around 20-30 mins walk into the town area. The ground will be slippery during winter due to the snow, make sure you have some grippy shoes

Is this the parking location at taisho Romankan?

Sorry I'm not sure about this

Hi Louise, this was in early January 2023

Thank you. We are going mid January so it was good to see the sort of weather around that time. 😊

Many people choose to stay in Kyoto rather than Osaka but personally the Osaka nightlife is hands down so much better. That's the main reason plus it's well connected by bullet train to a lot of the other cities in the itinerary.

Sure it's this website japanbusonline.com/en/CourseSearch/11900040002

Hello, please reserve in advance because when we went it was quite busy especially on the way back from Shirakawago.

This is the website www.nouhibus.co.jp/route_bus/takayama-shirakawago-line-en/

@@chngysworld4218 we will arrive very late in the evening at Takayama. So dont know if still can reserve for tomorrow or the next day as we intend to go to Shinhotaka Ropeway first day.

The bus ticket can be reserved online, that's what we did

Yes actually the rental car had snow tires fitted which was helpful. That's why we didn't need any chains. Hope you have a great trip to Japan in February!

@@chngysworld4218 ahh alright, glad that everything turned out well! Thank you so much! :)

Have a great Christmas!

Thanks Alex! It felt like the amazing race haha I think we arrived just before 6pm and we left at around 7.15pm.

Hi Jason, you'll need to take a very early train there, e.g. 6.30am but you can definitely catch some sleep whilst on the train. Hire a car and drive to Zao first and you can visit Ginzan Onsen when it gets dark (around 5-6pm). Leave enough time to dash back and get the last train which from our experience was around 8.45pm. Don't forget to book the train tickets in advance!

@@chngysworld4218 thank you. So ill probably do an amazing race 😆

To be honest if you're going to get some proper time on the slopes at Zao then don't do a day trip, it's way too rushed. We went for a change of scenery (to see the snow).

@@chngysworld4218 i know. We will be using 7 day jr pass, im trying to put in all that we missed seeing last time we went. Toyama kanazawa shirakawago and yamagata region and if still have time maybe hakodate 😑.. but i realize its all good to do a checklist, but in reality it will not be the same…

@jasonrivera2633 Yes! Totally agree. Sometimes it's nice to be enjoying the moment rather than rushing from A to B. Have a great trip. Japan is so much fun!

Hi there, no worries! When you arrive at Nagoya station it might find it a bit tricky to locate the bus terminal but just ask the station staff and they will direct you to the right place. Enjoy your visit!!

Thanks! It was in late December 2022

Hi Zamil, thank you for kind wishes! The total damage for the stay at Parkroyal was around $1,450 AUD for 3 nights.
