Travel day and duration.

[TJ]

Ski bums only for this particular one. Not talking families. Just gauging if there is a particular start finish day and duration that crew would prefer. Let me know in the comments your preferred day to fly out.
Obviously everyone would like to choose 21 but please let me know the pracitcal number of days you would take off..

 

[Any]

not voting for myself personally.
but having observed many groups coming to Japan to come visit/etc, they almost always choose 10 or 12 days.
10 days on snow 2 days travel/touristy stuff.

Yep, 2 weeks off work is probably the standard

Currently booked for 14 days - 7 days on snow, 7 days Tokyo and surrounds

 

[Rick Ross Da Boss]

[PMG]

Around 21 making turns and a week exploring.

Yeah 21 to 35 for us.

 

[Medicine_Shoes]

7 days skiing. 7 days tourist stuff.

 

[TJ]

21 sounds popular. Looking at just snow time for this year. No option for Shibuya crossings.

 

[Hyst]

We are discriminate!

Im planning a month with the family and then 8-10 days BC trip with the boys late Feb. I would say the average duration Australians travel Japan for see them home within 14 days. 12 days on snow with the majority bi passing tourism given they have likely travelled there before.

 

[Crispy013]

Our normal family trips is usually 2 and a bit weeks (16-18 days). Generally 8-12 snow days, balanced with touristy and travel days on either side.

 

[Crispy013]

We like travelling/transferring Sat/Sun as it is usually the busiest on mountain during the weekend.

If restricted to 21 days, then that's the way to do it, with the Sat / Sun transfer as recommended by others. No need for non snow sightseeing, unless it's to and from the bar / restaurant.

I go to Japan for more than the skiing. The skiings just the icing on the cake. There’s so. much more if you open your eyes .

Lol. The wheatbix stories I can tell.

Don’t buy them in Japan. We priced them years ago. Exorbitant!

Some of them grow up and get real jobs though but deep down they know what they are

 

[ratherb@thesnow]

I’d be keen for 21 days , Sun 1st Jan 2023

 

[M_G]

I generally found that families/groups at my old place usually wanted 7-10 days.
