Should i travel to Hokkaido?

Question:


Hey guys,Im planing a trip to japan mid-late march for 11 nights and i wanted to spend 5 nights in Tokyo,3 nights in Kyoto and 3 nights in Hokkaido.id love to go to Hokkaido for some skiing,do you think its worth taking the 3 nights in Hokkaido or would i be better of using them to spend more time in Tokyo and Kyoto?

Im a novice skier and iv only been once here in Australia are there any places to ski for a beginner in Hokkaido?

any advice on my holiday plan would be greatly appreciated!

Answer:


The must see cities in Japan are Tokyo and Kyoto. Attractions in Tokyo include the Asakusa district famous for Sensoji temple and Nakamise shopping street; Meiji Shrine; The Imperial Palace; Ginza and Harajuku.

Other places I highly recommend include:

Nara - ancient capital and full of history and old temples

Takayama - beautiful city known for its traditional architecture and crafts

Hiroshima - beautiful city in Japan that reminds me of my home town of Melbourne in Australia with its green parks and trams

Hokkaido offers some of the country’s best snow. Hokkaido’s winter season is November to early April with some ski resorts still having snow until early May. Sapporo is the cosmopolitan main city on Hokkaido, but does not get a lot of snow until early December. The best places are ski resorts like Niseko, Furano, Rusutsu and Kiroro.
