japan for CNY

[caroline84]

Im going snowboarding in japan for chinese new year .. leaving 20jan evening and coming back 25jan morning. ive only got flights to and from tokyo booked and nothing else, thinking of going to one of the resorts close to tokyo as i havent got a lot of time. im totally rubbish at snowboarding but hopefully ill be better by the end of it! Currently going on my own, looking for other people to join the fun.

How was your trip? Any tips you can share? I am thinking of doing a skiing trip to Japan as well and would like to know if it works out if you just book the flights to Tokyo...

thanks, cheers

hi yes, please do share your experience. was thinking of a ski trip to hokkaido but haven't the faintest idea where to start short of joining those group tour things (not at top of list of choices). am a rank beginner to boot, so might need lessons!

search for niseko and hirafu on google. Thats where most of the english speaking community goes to and there is a load of restaurants and nice lodges there
