Maybe will do this trip since Nagoya flights are cancel and I am thinking how to head back from Northern region. Osaka flights are ridiculous travelling from midnight to next morning 5.

Well, I have to agree with you but these days the outskirt area seems to be better in terms on transportation. Notice that there are changes in certain JR rail. Some discontinue, poor thing. Maybe different people have different perception. Most of my friends, Tokyo Tokyo and Tokyo. I like so speechless and most engage tour guide either by Apple (if not mistaken) or some other tour company. My point of view, young do the hard one first. When you are older, do the easier area

QUOTE(azkoleq @ Jan 22 2015, 10:55 AM) You can also buy the DisneySea ticket at any Disney Store. I did that last time. I would advice on checking the crowd index for Disneyland/Sea. This could help you plan either to buy the ticket on the spot or online or even to go on particular day. This is just an indicator, not the exact crowd index. http://tdrnavi.jp/forecast/disneyland?lang=enTo buy the ticket online, you need to register with the tokyo disney resort online. Bought mine thru online last year and just print out the ticket. http://www.tokyodisneyresort.jp/en/

I'm so sick now and been sick since the past two days. That explains the absence of me in this thread. I really don't know how I can make it through for my next week's trip and it is winter. Sucks to be sick now. Oh well, I did fall sick when I was in Beijing last year's winter.  Anyway, I haven't been doing a lot of homework and kinda giving up already. So, I will just wake up and decide where to go.  Back to this thread, I read from page 1 to 7 and I saw some disagreements in between. Please be mindful that the purpose for a thread to exist is to discuss and help each other. What is the point of being so harsh for those newcomers? While I don't agree on spoonfeeding but come on, talk about shopping is not welcomed? I certainly don't agree on this and will not tolerate. RegentCid, this is not the first time I'm seeing such replies from you and I did receive reports for you hostile attitude as well. This is not the kind of attitude or discussion we are encouraging here. Take note and have a nice day.

The best night view in whole Japan only 3 spot. 1 at Hakodate 1 at Hiroshima 1 at Sapporo About Osaka , Tokyo and Sapporo i already give u a hint which is the spot u mention was not the best of the best. Some are excellent some are normal but not the best spot. You cna stick to your plan which is normal to excellent form my point of view. Or you are perfectionist then you can continue dig more homework. This post has been edited by RegentCid: Jan 22 2015, 02:26 PM

I will still stick my way which is you want the best answer u have to show me u are doing the homework well enough. Like you want to taste a Michelin 3 star food first you have to work hard earn enough of cash. Same as goes to me. U want my Michelin 3 Star answer you have to show me your very very hardworking homework. This post has been edited by RegentCid: Jan 22 2015, 02:24 PM

Let me put this straight and hope this goes into your head. If it is really difficult to carry on with a friendly and polite discussion, I really see no point of continuing this thread.  We are here to discuss and appreciate your effort but being pushy and harsh on the forummers, I don't think it is really that nice.
