But the overall experience at Tenzan is unique, esp when we stood there for about 5-10 minutes pondering should we u-turn or bare all  laugh.gif

My first spa experience in tokyo's LaQua, I already expected the guys side to bogel all. But I didn't expect the lady workers to be walking around refilling water, refreshing towels and giving body scrubs while all the guys swinging their junk like nobody business lol.

Anyway some JP's also use the small towel to cover didi while walking around, not 100% bogel biggrin.gif

Those are bath house ..because most of Japanese houses no bathroom.  Not natural onsen like those in Hakone.  those water in bath house no sulfuric smell.
BTW why u go so high class one?  LOL

Ah, so it's called bath house. I knew it wasn't an onsen but I dunno what it's called so I used the word "spa" since it sort of got the same layout as KL Spa's hehe brows.gif brows.gif icon_idea.gif Was quite a nice place also lor except for when I see the lady workers walking around I dunno wanna cover up or just continue swinging my penis around lol.

Sorry to pour cold water, but are you sure it is absolutely safe to (ever) go to Japan?
Radioactivity.

Are you basing this fearmongering on some actual data or are you just talking out your ass based on a non existent understanding of physics and radioactivity?

http://www.rsc.org/chemistryworld/2013/03/...r-risk-increase

WHO says that "people living nearest to the nuclear power plant (will have) a slightly elevated risk of cancer in the coming years. However, the disaster will have no ‘observable' impact in the rest of Japan or other parts of the world ... (WHO) also expects no increases in miscarriages, stillbirths or physical and mental disorders in babies born after the accident"

I believe most of us here spend less than a month a year in Japan, and even then mostly in the 'touristy' areas away from fukushima. I see no reason for worry.

I am just reminding people as effects of radioactivity... bla bla some nonsense.

Why should any of us listen to you? All you've done so far is spout maybe's and what-if's with not a single shred of supporting information from actual people who know what the heck they're talking about.

I will be going to Japan with 4 buddies in November for 10 days. We will reach the airport in Osaka and wonder around there for 3 days. Any suggestions on where to visit?

This website will answer most of your questions.

My husband wants to go to Toyota plant but I couldn't find any info on the site. Can you help me?

There is Toyota Megaweb in Odaiba. It's not a plant, it's more like a ... theme park (for lack of better description). Might be a good compromise if you are not interested in touring an actual plant.

Excuse me for this silly question , how is the radiation situation in Tokyo ? The water contamination at Fukushima (which is only 250km from Tokyo) , will cause any impact on the fish that we consume there ?

Was discussed just a few pages back at length: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2849282/+200 check post #210 onwards.

"CORRECTION: A post on a website in Japan reports that these images aren't related to the Fukushima disaster. We regret passing along the misinformation."

I would like to know if there's any travel agency that actually arrange a 4-5 days tour which they only handle the flight, transport and the hotel for u, basically just pick u up when u reach tokyo and send u to the hotel u choose, letting u travel urself during those period and pick u up again to the airport?

These can be super easily arranged on your own so why would you need to engage a tour agency?

Tsukiji, gotta wake up damn early be there by 4plus for the tuna auction. If you not planning on auction then IMO no point going just for the lunch, tons of other sushi places which also get their fish from Tsukiji where you nonid 2-4 hour queue.

Ok, I found out few mistake here.
First you no need overnight at Kyoto if you going Hiroshima.
Plz Note:  Shinkansen from Tokyo no direct to Hiroshima unless you take ''Nozomi'' Class.  If taking Hikari Class, you might need intertransfer at Shin-Osaka Station ...then continue to Hiroshima.
2nd are , You can't overnight at Miyajima.  There is no hotel at here.  You have to overnight at Hiroshima only.
3rd here MOST IMPORTANT.  I want you study more on JR RAIL PASS !!!

RegentCid must have something good happen to him today that's why he in super good mood ... promotion? Just got married? Newborn baby?!?

I always use free wifi at hotels and McDonalds. Never bought data plan when traveling. Now online in hotel just north of Pisa. Driving back to France soon,  350km away.

Japan a bit different. Free wifi not commonly available.
