| Sapporo | ice fest 2006 Posted: Mon January 9, 2006 01:26 PM UTC
We are in sapporo in 3 weeks for this yrs festival and have heard that this winter is v bad in Japan,so am hoping for advice as to what clothes to bring!! Lots of layers i guess, and will we need moon boots in the city or are the streets/pavements clear? Would love to travel light but HATE being cold!! All advice will be helpful... plus can anyone tell me the current exchange rate for english pounds to yen? Have had conflicting advice to change money when in Japan but others saying to get it here before we leave....Thanks!!

Hi, I usually use Oanda currency converter to see what the current rates are: http://www.oanda.com/convert/classic Right now, the current exchange rate for British pounds is: GBP 1 = JPN 202.743 It's best to change money in your home country for the most part.
Re: clothes...the winter has been pretty bad up north (I'm in Kyushu) but I'm not too sure about the roads in Sapporo...hopefully someone will get back to you on that! Enjoy your trip!

Never been to Japan when it's been cold...but I live in Boston, so I can give you some cold weather advice :) Go to the outdoor store and buy long underwear...in general, just wear a lot of layers. I would assume the streets and sidewalks are clear, unless it is a fresh snowfall and nobody has shovelled yet. As for currency...I use www.xe.com We usually get traveller's checks before we leave for Japan, and once in Japan we get Yen.
