So I’m going late January early feb for somewhere between 7-10 days may do a day in Tokyo or something. But other than that the rest will be boarding. I have been told no matter where I go it will cost around 3500$ for flights accomo lift pass and spending. Anyone agree or disagree? Cheers

I’m planning on doing something like 18 days in the middle of January (peak season) in non shared accommodation and I’m expecting to stay under that budget so it should be super easy for you too as well.

I’ve booked/booking everything myself but generally pricing is very affordable in Japan.

A big point I want to make is definitely go to Tokyo if you haven’t been before. It was probably the highlight of my last trip and I’m far from a city person.

In that case you should have said you hate “Your particular job” not paint the whole IT industry as a whole with the same “sucks balls” brush. As with any industry it is possible to have both….

I better start training for my swim across the pacific ocean! Seeing that number reminds me to look into some flights.

Air China is pretty cheap at this stage that may be for a very good reason?!?

Yeah pretty sure that is it!

Hahaha damn straight that’s it!! You guys are so clever! wink

Yeah, per person. I know I could’ve saved a bit if I shopped around but I really couldn’t be bothered. Plus the yen was pretty crappy when I paid the full amount - it’s looking much better now though! Should go change some cash!

Last year it was somewhere around 2.5k for Hakuba for 8 nights with flights…

Flights were around 1600 this time for Niseko? I can’t remember… I can go look! inc taxes

Waaahooo it’s snowing!!!!!!!!!!!!!
