Oriental Bazaar is just few meters after Kiddy Land
Yes its the cheapest compared to Asakusa but Asakusa has lots of varieties and great Kodak moments too

Did Asakusa and Disneyland today - exhausting

how's the crowd in Disneyland during weekday?

Question about disneyland. When check website (http://www.tokyodisneyresort.co.jp/en/ticket/adticket/index.html), there's no "fast pass" mentioned. Anyone knows got or not?

Is it possible to buy entrance tickets at airport or city hotels? Scared no tickets when reach disneyland.
*
i buy mine at Shibuya's Disneystore..u juz need to dig where is it..not too far..u still can buy at the entrance,but the queue is damn long..the Fastpass will run out very soon,even i go during weekdays also early early habis..
forget abt group ticket,their group ticket need at least 30ppl. sleep.gif

guys, any recommended spot to take picture of Shibuya crossing?

i read from few blogs, they said go to Starbucks... but i believe it is not high enough...

Starbucks so many ppl camp ther.lol..but they are kind enuf to let u videotape the 'scene' if u wish to..u go early in the morning before the japs working hour. hmm.gif

i was wondering wher the hell all those ppl come from..non stop one. the shinjuku station is even scarier..everyone walking zigzag but wont bump into each other. biggrin.gif

SUICA vs PASMO - i read that there is no difference in terms of coverage, but some site said that we can get full refund for PASMO as opposed to SUICA (Y210 handling fee). Is this true?

Is the giant gundam @ Odaiba still there?
*
Pasmo can refund back the deposit of 500yen rite? But the remaining not sure..fun reload too much at one goal.lol

As for the gundam,yes still there as of end of nov..
