Quick question for the Japan regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there last year and had a great time but I've heard things are quieter than usual.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.
