Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@mooney058, from a purely selfish point of view I'd be hoping for more fireworks - will definitely keep the crowds down!

@element, +1 for taking cold remedies / medicines with you.
I also got the absolute worst cold out there, I was bed bound for a whole day! Very painful achey/stiff neck etc. Took several days to get over it fully. It was worse than a normal cold but it's not something I've ever had before or since. My friend caught it too, offset by a couple of days.

I am going next week with Cathay Pacific and they say that if my ski bag exceeds the 80” rule that I need permission. I’ve never had that before even with EasyJet 🤔

Make sure you use the Onsens, hopefully where you stay will have them.
Also check if you'll be sleeping on the Floor ala Japan style, or in a Western bed. If you're on a Futon I thoroughly recommend upgrading to a bed. You'll thank me.

Yes I contacted them regarding my airbag and that's what alerted them to the skibag and I've just received an email regarding the weight which is likely to be under 20kgs

@Bod, I’m the opposite, I’ve no interest sharing a bath, and I have no problem sleeping on a Futon. Way better to have a big Futon, than a small single bed.

You know it makes sense.
|
Yes definitely will use the Ohnsen as didn't have the opportunity the last time I visited Japan and definitely having a bed

@Mosha Marc, Depends on your orientation, since Onsens are segregated.

I have neoprene 'socks' (Alpine Heat) for my skiing boots. Or do you mean for regular walking shoes?
