Insider recommendations

Hello,

My husband & I will be traveling to Japan end Dec-mid Jan.

We are doing Tokyo, Osaka & Kyoto with trips to Nara, Hakone & Hiroshima. However unsure about a couple of extra things.

  1. We are looking into going further north for a snowy experience. I am wanting to ski at Mount Zao and take a trip to Ginzan. Would it be best to stay in Sendai and travel for each or have accommodation in Zao & Ginzan?

  2. I know Christmas isn't celebrated the same but would love to have a christmas feel with snow or lights. Would Sendai be good for this? Or is is best to be in a bigger city like Osaka? Or any other suggestions of quaint little snowy towns.

  3. We will be in Tokyo for New Years. I know they have firework/light displays. Is there a good district/bar area that goes off for new years?

Thanks!
