Yes I agree the temperature in Japan now is unusually warm, but for those of you going to Japan next week like me, be prepared for colder temperature!

Forecast is the most accurate the day before. Anything longer jz take it with a pinch of salt. Anw apparently there will be cold wave hitting Japan during the first 10 days of December which is supposed to bring snow and so on

JMA is your best bet. It is accurate for my dates. If you are forecasting one-week earlier on JMA, you have to keep checking back. There may still be changes until the dates. But it will eventually be accurate.

16 Singaporeans injured after tour bus skidded off Hokkaido highway

 

[kifo]

18 Singaporeans injured in tour coach accident in Hokkaido...

About 1:40 mins into the video...

Another video about 0:35 in...

And the whitey pictures of Kyoto is worrying me leh...

P.S. It seems that it is always Singaporean tourists in tour coaches getting into accident in Hokkaido... Maybe this can help discourage you from taking packaged holidays in Hokkaido

On Asashi Shimbun...

[solarwings]

Train might have delays depending on weather, so gotta check the weather forecasts and train schedules

Trains are one of the safest transport in Japan.
