i will stay at Ginza area. I have difficulty to understand on the train maps seem its lot of stations and line.pitty me haha. Maybe i will pick it up when i reach there. I am still done have any proper itinerary but have some in my mind. My question here, It is ok to travel one day to Fuji Mountain during this time?

QUOTE(mikehuan @ Jan 9 2014, 06:10 PM) To note you need to make reservations for the romance car so need to at least buy the pass the day before. haha.. i know it is all over the place.. Abit all over the place imo. What I did in the end when I was in the planning phase is to group all the attractions i want to go according to location and time needed. Then take out the metro map circle out the stations to stop to go to the attractions. This makes it was easier to plan out the itinerary. As some attractions are closed on certain days you can put a foot note and keep that in mind when planning Another thing to note is that it's possible to get the train from haneda to shinjuku when you land. If I could do it being a first timer anyone can. Risky for sure but it was exciting haha As for suggestions, fuji f fujio museum in kawasaki if you're a doraemon fan. Didnt regret going there. Dorayaki was awesome i'll try to see if i can get a train from haneda to shinjuku or not but i feel it is wasted if i pay for hotel for the night. preferably to just sleep somewhere or go to first cabin.. anyway, any attractions thats happening only on weekends? or weekends are too busy to be in shinjuku/shibuya? If so, i'll arrange to go to hakone over the weekends.. |

Like what you doing actually. i will stay at Ginza area. I have difficulty to understand on the train maps seem its lot of stations and line.pitty me haha. Maybe i will pick it up when i reach there. I am still done have any proper itinerary but have some in my mind. My question here, It is ok to travel one day to Fuji Mountain during this time? I heard its very cool for this few days. thank you. this is my first time at JAPAN... For train line, print out in colour or pick one from the station/airport for ease of understanding. After a while you will get use to it. Not that difficult actually. You cannot climb to the top of Mt Fuji if you plan to do so. The climbing season is closed. The highest you can go is the 5th station. Cant really comment what is up in 5th station though. I have been up to Mt Fuji twice but on a different route. |

Either than that can't think of any special things happening, unless there is some festivals on certain weekends. If you dont like crowds and like to do your shopping quietly then go on a weekday.i'll try to see if i can get a train from haneda to shinjuku or not but i feel it is wasted if i pay for hotel for the night. preferably to just sleep somewhere or go to first cabin.. anyway, any attractions thats happening only on weekends? or weekends are too busy to be in shinjuku/shibuya?

When is the best time to go? can't understand what you want, you already said you wanna go during sakura season, so ... that's the best time to go lor. or are you asking what is the best date to go? Different places different date, so go refer to japan guide. http://www.japan-guide.com/blog/sakura13/ note that the weather leading up to the season will depend when exactly the season hits. sometimes late sometimes early by few weeks, so if you bought your tickets way in advance then depends on your luck also. |
