I
haven’t heard any rumours about Kumamoto or Shikoku. 
Easter 2025 is late, almost as late as in 2019 when we went to Sapporo for Hokkai-Do. I’ve been thinking of Kanazawa with a post-do visit to Tateyama Snow Corridor which opens between mid-April and mid-June each year and possibly a stay at an onsen nearby. In addition to Kanazawa itself, we might go on a day trip to visit Tōjinbō Cliffs, Eiheiji Temple, and Maruoka Castle.
I’ll start a new thread for further discussion.
