Grats on v4

I thought its already confirmed that no visa is required so why is it still "Waiting for the official announcement:" on the first page?

Anyone who travel to Japan buy a temporary sims card there?

congratulation on V4.

Continue to do the homework here

Most are rent the 3G / 4G dongle.

dear all, appreciate if you can advise on this portion of itinerary for my japan trip

- is day 2 achievable? did i squeeze in too many places?
- does day 3 have too little places planned?
- having dilemma on day 1, i really want to visit Disney Sea but not sure if i would miss out much of the attractions in tokyo

thanks!


Rough Itinerary
---------------
Day 1:
Disney Sea

Day 2:
9am: Tsukiji fish market
10:30am: Tokyo Imperial Palace
11:30am: Meiji shrine
1pm: Harajuku > Shibuya > Shinjuku

Day 3:
9am: Asakusa (temples and street)
1pm: Ueno park
6pm: Akihabara


Day 4 to 7 would be mt fuji, kyoto, osaka (haven't planned the itenarary yet)

can.. if u are not a shopping person, just walk around the shopping street, and definitely is a tiring day.
imo, imperial palace nothing much to see, the nijubashi bridge & the palace can only observe from entrance. you can walk around at the garden. last time i do hit & run, i took pic of the bridge and palace, then cabut d, i prefer tokyo station building. lol....

day 3 u can add other places, like Skytree, Ginza....
go ueno park also go Ameyoko street.

day 4 go hakone
day 5-7 Kyoto. visit osaka & nara too.

any sifu can help me on Kobe beef in Kobe. There are many restaurant there, diff to pick. based on my research, these 2 are mostly visited by tourist & price is ok.

Steakland
Wakkoku

which one better? or you have other better choice?
pls recomemnd.

p/s: i cant afford high class restaurant.

Mouriya
3 minute walk from Sannomiya Station.

Day 2
I would suggest you start your day earlier. Trains are operational around 5. Nothing to see also at the fish market after 9. Most people already left or queuing for sushi.

Take a look at the metro map online. You're basically traveling unnecessary distance if you go around like that. Where is your hotel?

And Shibuya and shinjuku only half day? Sure you can do it if you just spend an hour or two in each place but what's the point in that?
