Hi, I would like to ask if Tsukiji Fish Market is still around? If not, please recommend some nice places for us worth visiting.

Outer Market is still around. Fish and vegetables section moved to Toyosu. Try to read up more from JNTO or Japan Guide.

Nobody knows which places are nice to you. Everyone has his own definition on “nice places”.

Karuizawa? Gala is quite convenient too if you’ve got the pass. Tokyo Wide Pass is cheaper compared to a 7D Pass if you’re just staying within Tokyo for the whole trip.

If you have your own water resistant winter clothing then just wear that, no need to specially rent ski clothes.

Even if your winter clothing not water resistant also OK actually.

What kind of flowers are you looking at? Snow? To play in the snow or just see snow?

1. Wide hida train, has place to put big luggage? I plan to go Takayama direct once landed at Nagoya
2. As dec is high season, I want to secure bus reservation from/to Takayama Shirakawa. Can I reserve Nohi bus by phone? Or must be at the ticket counter?

Just back from Tokyo. We were staying at Hotel Mystay @ gotanda station. Although 3 star hotel but decent room for family of 4. JR station is just 2-3 mins walk. Affordable place if you don't mind a few stations away from shinjuku and Tokyo station.
Hakone is a very nice place. Beside the usual route. We also went to sengokuhara grass field. It is a very nice place.

Thanks for mentioning the grass field, seems like a nice place to stop by for a short while to admire its beauty. Shall go check on how to get there.

I think late oct - early nov has the best view thou..We pass by from Gotemba during that period but was too dark to alight.. We actually pass by earlier on enroute to Gotemba from Togendai.
