QUOTE(soules83 @ Nov 25 2013, 12:54 PM) Hi guys, I plan to go to tokyo next year around Nov (Autumn). Have anyone went there before during Autumn. I not too sure what to plan out after read all the information. This call over informative but dunno where to start. i just came back from tokyo and spent some time walking through the parks enjoying autumn leaves. use http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2014_where.html as a guide, they even have periodic autumn leave reports that you can check in on so that you know what to expect. i really enjoyed the Ginkgo Avenue. the autumn illumination of Rikugien Garden is surreal. Koishikawa Korakuen is also gorgeous. all these gardens are easily accessible using trains. enjoy! |

QUOTE(joshuatly @ Dec 4 2013, 02:25 PM) Oh, then should I get something like PASSMO or SUICA? That means I should buy a daily/weekly pass at all, pay as I go? just get a SUICA card and top up whenever the credit is low. SUICA card is like a touch-n-go card. don't need daily or weekly pass. you can also use SUICA cards on vending machines or some convenience stores. very handy! |

QUOTE(Keinn @ Dec 19 2013, 09:56 AM) Hi, Sorry, this is a very common question regarding late arrival in Haneda Airport. Whats the best options which i should take? 1) Free shuttle with toyoko inn which would require me to change hotel the next day 2) Directly head to a hotel by cab which is exp but doesn't require to change hotel the following day 3) Try to get on the last train(00:00) which is risky if i miss the train and ended up waste 1 day hotel rental 4) Booking hotel which limousine bus stop by, but if not mistaken some of them actually stop at 11.30pm(correct me if i'm wrong) which is also risky if i miss the bus Is there any better suggestions or hotel recommendation which actually provides transport for late arrival? Preference would be not to change hotel i had the same dilemma as you last month. in retrospect, there was time to catch the last train as my flight landed an hour earlier. but relying on that is a gamble. my travel partner sourced out a local agency who provides airport pick up services to a hotel of your choosing. more expensive than train, cheaper than cab. if you want the contact PM me. |

QUOTE(saldopullt @ Dec 27 2013, 10:05 AM) Hi, wanted to ask if u buy the package of 75mbps or the 21mbps? I understand that 75mbps is faster but if most area in Japan only support up to 21 mpbs then no point I get a 75mbps.. i went for the 75mbps package. silky smooth broadband experience. me and my friend had 3 gadgets that were constantly connected to the device. we also brought a portable charger to charge the device on the go so that we had whole day usage. |

QUOTE(saldopullt @ Dec 27 2013, 04:45 PM) Thanks for the info. I am curious if the device still able to provide internet access in deep mountain or in the most rural area. It will be wonderful if it can.. probably wouldn't be LTE, some of the areas we went were not LTE, that drained the battery of the device much faster. also used google maps a lot  |
