Thanks guys.

Yeah you're probably right Aikochan - might be nice to run into a tourist and 'take a breather'.

I was initially aiming for Nagano, but I will be going just after Golden Week so I was told there'd be no snow left by that time. And hence, not a whole lot to see there without travelling to a temple or onsen. But if for some reason Nikko doesn't work out, then I'd probably look at the Nagano area.
