Don't know if I will ever have the courage to try the onsen. When we really go for our Hokkaido trip, will definitely ask you for tips!

Go on give it a try, you will be glad you did it just like me. But be warned that the water is REALLY HOT, it took me a while to get used to it without hopping around and making a fool of myself ;p

Wow! How did to you collect so much info to plan for your trip? My family is seriously considering Hokkaido for next yr's new year. Can share info?

mmnchua March 17 2008, 08:46:17 UTC

My dear, the internet has a wealth of information you can rely on for your trip planning, Hokkaido even has an office in OCBC building (i think 35 fl) where you can also collect information from. Of course, I am glad to help in any little ways I can too, do drop me an email (michelle_heng@yahoo.com).

Next year CNY is on 26 & 27 Jan while the Sapporo Snow Festival is on 5-11 Feb, but the exact dates for other smaller scale snow festivals are not out yet, usually the Sounkyo Hyoubaku Matsuri will happen end of Jan to early Mar while the Otaru Yuki akari no michi is a few days from the start date of the Sapporo Snow Fest. Planning early is the key to a good trip especially when you are going in big group and have to cater to everyone's schedule. Happy planning!

Nic was happily hopping from one cabin to another taking photos, so were all the other kids onboard that train.

Hope to see your updates in LJland soon.

I will be most happy to help in whatever little ways I can, but I reckon you are also a good holiday planner (if not better).

The journey from Asahikawa to Sapporo is about 1.5 hours, boy was I tired out by her going up and down the train to take pictures!
