Tokyo boring la

Nice weather in Tokyo now. Cooling... Took the sweater out today and had to remove it as I was sweating from all that walking... Visited Ueno Park and Sensoji today.. only had a short time in Ginza as son was exhausted and had to carry him back to Shinjuku.

Can someone help me translate this? Does it mean the plan come with free lift voucher for day use and free breakfast...etc?

Use Google translator..

Google liao but still not sure

Just to share (after some really confusing searches on the information )in case of anyone want to go for either Music Media-Mix Market or COMITIA. Both events require catalog for entry, which can be bought as early as 9am around the entrance of the event area. If you want to avoid risk of having the catalog sold out there, you can actually find the catalog in stores that stock anime goods.

If you want to locate stores which stock them, the organizers do keep a list of stores ( Here for Music Media-Mix Market and here for COMITIA) which stock them. Keep in mind that the pages are only active when the event is near and the catalogs' official selling date depends on the organizers and it is possible that by the time you have arrived in Japan the catalogs are sold out. Hopefully this tip helps!

autumn foliage seems to be one week earlier this year

autumn foliage normally start mid of sept... at hokkaido (central north)
looking at japan guide... and compared with last year report... there r same

http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2014.html

the latest report states that it is about 1 week earlier this time..hope still got 1 or 2 red leaves during my visit

last year i delay 1week to hokkaido bcoz i wan to enjoy full autumn foliage
i would say, middle of oct is the perfect time

last year during first week of oct in hokkaido...
ashikawa/furano/sunkyo hv 90% - 100% red/yellow leaf

sapporo or anything down south... 60% - 80% oni (depend on the mountain)

---
Furano Blue Pond ~ MUST VISIT....
second best view for autumn foliage, a lot of local ppl go here

near the pond got dam and river... the hill next to the river... is full of yellow color... best view

http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e6832.html

note: not my pix ... but imagine all yellow/red leaf with blue color water

Last year autumn report from me:
¬ 1st week of December
¬ Location: Tokyo n Hakone

Sorry my camera not good enuff to capture the colors especially at Hakone

Hmm, photos by JooSeng shows the people are wearing down jackets in early december i am only bringing a fleece jacket..

RegentCid,
First at Hiroshima Station take Shinkansen to Mihara Station (三原駅). Please take Note. Nozomi Shinkansen does not stop at Mihara Station. Once you reach Mihara Station, change to JR Kure Line to Tadanoumi Station (忠海駅). Walk to Ferry terminal. 15 Minute Boat Ride (Adult 300Yen & Children 150Yen Per Way) to reach Destination. Rabbit Food are sold for 100yen only


From hiroshima station to Mihara station is sanyo jr line right? I checked in Jorudan jp. It shows 2 different JR lines

hi there everyone, going to japan on january and sorry if my question a bit noobish~

1. read about pasmo and suica card. do i need to have both? only for travel around tokyo only due to time restriction.

2. tax. do i get tax by the malaysian custom if i were to bring a lot of goodies from japan? being a gunpla nerd etc.

thanx everyone!

Yes. Hiroshima are Sanyo Shinkanshen. The Shinkansen Line are parallel to JR Sanyo main Line
