@Flo_2010: You can get them at Haneda airport.
One thing I can say about One Piece, they are EVERYWHERE. Every freakin place on every freakin thing. Nothing against that, I even bought some OP souvenirs haha. Gundam can also be found in Toys R Us there. Snoopy, not sure but you can try Kiddy Land at Harajuku.

I stayed overnight at Haneda, it's okay quite a number of people do that too. The seats are pretty comfy actually, and it's quiet. There are some patrol guards walking around, quite safe. I don't think they have incoming passengers after midnight. It'll start to get a bit busy after 4am, since the first train is around 5.

thanks for the tip, it'll come in handy... it's quite a bad timing to touchdown between ten thirty and eleven, and it would be quite inconvenient to look for the hotel/ryokan after that. so, we might as well save some cost and camp in the airport, instead. and start to make our move in the morning...

@Flo_2010: I dunno eh, I tried really hard to find the KitKat at shinjuku and town areas... couldn't find at all! The night I depart at Haneda only I managed to find it in Hello Kitty shop, inside the departure hall also got souvenir shops selling. wtf

I bought like 6 flavours there!


@domo_kun: Yeah that was my plan too, camp there and take first train to Tsukiji (leave luggage at hotel first). But you'll only be able to take 4-5 hours sleep la coz it gets noisy at dawn.

it's 7 minutes away from Nezu Station, why would you wanna walk 40 minutes to Ueno Station, instead? how's the Ryokan? it's one of my shortlisted place to stay in Tokyo, though... and it's ranked #1 in Trip Advisor, wow...

Because your Keisei Skyliner stops there.

Because it's cheap sticking to JR laugh.gif

4-5 hours of sleep is a bliss when you're travelling out there like a nomad! either way, i'm a light sleeper, i'm not too sure if i would be sleeping at all, lol. most probably, on and off, and i guess i would be up watching, anyway... sweat.gif
