Went out everynight to a different restaruant and probably 10% aussies eating out

What forecast do u use ?

[Jan 14th - Jan 17th Temps]

Northern Japan resorts like Niseko look to be okay with light snow forecast.

[Jan 14th - Jan 17th Temps]

Looks like warm temps and rain over these dates, what are other peoples thoughts ?

[Tokyo & Surrounds Hotels]

I have 4 nights in the Tokyo area late Feb. Looking around for hotels and somewhere that is well located to stay.

 

Hard to work out what is where, and finding all the hotels

 

Looking for 4-5 star hotels

 

Any help with good areas to stay in, tips, websites for booking, and just hotel names in general would be great

 

Park Hyatt is looking the go at this stage

[I was in someone elses seat]

I have that sometimes, in Aus during the day you can be the only ones in the cinemas at times.

 

Few weeeks ago was me and the girlfriend, just us in the cinema, about 10 mins into it, another couple come and say we are in their seats.

 

We moved but laughed at the same time as there was at least 300 other seats free

[Park Hotel Niseko]

Most websites have outdated photos etc, when compared to the US/Canada and Aussie resorts the Japanese websites look pre-historic.

suva; Not talking about u

Nah I booked with travelplan

[Park Hotel Niseko]

Niseko booked out pretty fast this year... Yes I know it will be busy and it their will be heaps of Aussies. So one certain member can leave those comments for elsewhere

 

Booked it all about 6 weeks ago now, I had a few options of hotels, but the lack of info/photos made it hard, so I took the travel agents recomendation

[Park Hotel Niseko]

Mainly to know what to expect, it was far from the first preference but was one of the only hotels available when I made the booking.

[Park Hotel Niseko]

We are staying at the Park Hotel in Niseko in February.

 

Cannot find any good pics/website with any info on this hotel.

 

Any pics/reviews/comments would be great

[Niseko Advice & Info]

Yes Yes it's spoiled by Aussie and that I know, but its my first trip over

 

Thanks

[Niseko Advice & Info]

A bunch of us from another ski forum over in Australia are heading across to Niseko at various times in the upcoming season.

 

We would all like to know some hints/tips on restaurants, onsens, and just general info on what's good to do and what's not so good to do.

 

And YES we all know there will be heaps of Aussies there this year.

 

Best Bars

Best Restaurants

Best Onsens

 

That's the kinda stuff we would love to know from people that have been there before.

 

Thanks !!!

[Is (the "N" word) popular with Japanese?]

Well thought I would make my first post on here and this seems like a good topic to drag up again !

 

I am heading over to Niseko in Mid Feb. The hype surrounding Niseko in Aus at the moment is amazing. All the travel places are pushing it very hard, problem being now it's pretty much fully booked out until the end of Feb.

 

Any advice (apart from not being a drunken Yobbo)

Best places to eat

Quirky bars/places to eat

What to look out for

 

There are a ton (around 10-20) of us from a Australian ski forum heading across to Niseko over various weeks, around 20-30 heading to Furano as well!

 

Thanks
