Hi guys,

Originally was planning to come to Hokkaido this year in the middle of November (14th-19th) considering its a part of Japan i've never visited. Just want to know if its worth visiting during this time or if we should spend our time somewhere else in Japan?

We arent into skiing/snow boarding. Rather were hoping to do a mini road trip in the mountains and to escape the main tourist golden circle of Japan (tokyo-kyoto-osaka).

Just loosely we were considering Sapporo, lake toya, norboribetsu and Jozankei.

What would you recommend? its so hard to find information considering I understand most people come to visit in summer or winter. We will also be travelling with our 4 month baby so theres that to factor in as well.

Hi,

First time parents traveling to Japan with our 4-5 month old in October/November. Seeking some advise from other parents who have done it and survived it. Although I often come across travel hacks, I haven’t found a lot of information in regard to sleeping arrangements with baby’s in Japan. Did you bring your own portable bassinet or cot? Was this offered at some hotels or air bnbs? How did you go with this. I prefer not to co-sleep.
