We went to Furano skiing in 2008. It was excellent, no queues, and the people in the resort were super. We also had 4 nights in Tokyo, we did a lot of walking! In the electronics shopping area of the city we had hoped to buy a couple of things but were surprised to learn that the software was only set up for the Japanese market. We felt that Tokyo was one of the safest citys we had ever been in. My wife commented that she was the only blue eyed blonde person on the the flight (ANA), but felt completely comfortable with this everywhere we went - no stares or anything like that as one or two people on this site have been concerned about.
We will be going back to Japan (Kyoto) this year so I'm trying my best to learn to speak & read Japanese.
I wish we could have afforded to go years ago!
