Trying to figure where to go at the Christmas time. The short listed candidates are New Zealand and Japan.
Would apprciate any ideas of what would be particularly nice in Japan just before Christmas. Not so excited about shopping, and probably a couple of days in Tokyo would be sufficient, but nice parks with snow covered temple type of structures and gates (a la Hirosaki Castle Park), maybe snow surrounded natural furo baths, especially nice ryokans, etc. sound tempting.
How cold does it get? Been to Japan a number of times but always in the summer.
Thank you in advance
