Hello, I'm looking for some rough suggestions and ideas for a trip I intend to make over the winter holiday this year.
Just to cover the basic information; I am moving to Tokyo to study at the end of the month and my partner is coming out to see me between Dec 24th and Jan 7th. During this time we would like to take a short trip (2/3 nights) up north into the Tohoku area hoping see some proper snowfall as we barely get any at home.
I myself am a massive car enthusiast so we intend to rent a GR Yaris as a Christmas gift, and go for a snowy getaway. Ideally this would allow us to see some snowy landscapes, drive some pretty roads, and enjoy some festive winter spirit! We're open to all kinds of suggestions although we're leaning on the more rural/tranquil idea as the rest of her visit will be spent around Tokyo with me. Reccomendations of areas/towns/locations/attractions would be greatly appreciated!
