Where to find snow in late March 2015 2015/2/24 10:13
Hey guys,

I'm from Vietnam and planning to visit Japan in late March 2015 and early April 2015. I will mainly stay in Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. I know this will be Hanami festival in Japan but I also would like to find some snow. Is there any place nearby (like Nagano or Niigata) where I can find some snow in this springtime? I also know that Fujisan is covered by snow but I mean I would like to touch snow.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your information Nez, I think I'll take the JR Kanto Area Pass and a Gala Option Ticket. Since I also would like to visit Nikko and Hakone, then such pass is a deal for three days in Tokyo.
