japan trip (april ...hmmm maybe may)

biwako · (#1 (**permalink**))

hey guys,

my trip next year has always been planned for april to coincide with the sakura,
my other main objective is to do some bass fishing at lake biwa,

reading a few of the recent posts i see that travel in April can be pretty full on,
i have noticed airfaires are double the price here in australia in april as opposed to march or may. is there really that much to the cherry blossoms or would one be satisfied after seeing them once?

i guess what im getting at is, am i better off delaying my trip until may when there will be less people traveling around and i can get cheaper flights..?
any tips appreciated,

hey also obviously cherry blossom season has the attraction of the blossoms themselves and fall the maple leaves. can anyone tell me what the landscape is like in may? is this when everthing starts to green up? and one more would there be snow on Fuji if we were to catch a glimpse mid way through May.

thanks again and look forward to any response,

Ben

Does oneself bring a fishing rod and the lure?
It is spawningseason in April.
The season that is hard when you do not do fishing from a boat.
Do you employ a fishingguide?

I think that the preparation is serious...

i wont be bringing any rods and tackle to Japan,

i wish to hire a guide with boat and rods when in biwako for two days,

The guide who can speak English.
The guide whom I lend the tool to.
It seems to be hard to look for a guide meeting two conditions.

Because it is early in the morning, the set is serious when it is not distance to be able to walk from the station.
The market of the guide is around 450 $usd/day.

fishingguide MasakiShimono may speak English.
I cannot remember whether there is the person who can speak English elsewhere.
