QUOTE(audreyreiko @ Apr 2 2015, 09:25 PM) It's kaiyukan yes, and yes already allocate 3 hours for it, whereas usj allocated 7 hours for it. Unless u planning to skip a lot of stuff is a bit crazy to do USJ and aquarium on same day. |

Suggest you spend half day to do the aquarium kaiyukan to really enjoy, as they have some feeding times allocated for different animals. TBH it is just a large aquarium, but they have a nice tiger shark and a really huge tank there. If you are not a penguin/seals/dolphin/shark lover, you can give this a skip and focus fully on USJ.  |

Thanks for the advice sifus, will probably move the kaiyukan to day 2 and focus day 3 on usj only. Even so one day only also feel like not enough d for usj, from the way you folks described. ^^;;

Last week I was at Fuji Q. 2.5 hours to line up just to sit one ride. I spent 5 hours 1st day and another 5 hours 2nd day just to sit a total of 4 rides.That said though, the rides are AWESOME. Just won't be something I'll do again, unless can buy the express pass or go on a super low peak time.. |

QUOTE(andyckl @ Apr 2 2015, 11:31 PM) Hi all Sifus, Ahha....don't worry, it's not a long way to go. I'm going Japan again next year in March and i'm 50% doing the itinerary now Here's my very preliminary plan. Travelling period: 31 Jan - 12 Feb (know that it's still a long way to go. Wanted to prepare myself early than rush to things later). 31 Jan Reach Osaka 3:40 pm 1 Feb Himeji Kobe (planning to take the port cruise, Concerto) Kyoto (staying here for the night) 2 Feb Nara (Todaiji Temple and Nara Park) Kyoto (staying here for the night) 3 - 4 Feb Kyoto (Fushimi Inari, Kinkakuji, Ginkakuji, Kiyamizudera, Arashiyama, Gion) 5 - 7 Feb Toyama Takayama (would like to be there during the winter light up at Shirakawa - go. Not sure if it's going to be on Feb 6 or Feb 7) 8 - 11 Feb Osaka 12 Feb Back to KL from Osaka Am still working on the many days in Osaka. Appreciate any advice if I am spending too much or too less on a certain location. Many thanks. Adrian  for the Shirakawa-go light-up, it's usually on a Saturday. So you better make your farmhouse reservation soonest possible |

Day 3: Train to Kamakura & Enoshima day trip Day 4: Nikko Day 5: Nikko Day 6: Disneyland Day 7: Disneysea Day 8: Tokyo Day 9: Tokyo (Free & easy) Day 10: Depart Tokyo Wanted to travel to Osaka/Nagoya but seems like way too far from Tokyo. No point going to Sapporo in May. So we will be sticking around Tokyo only. Arigato~ Domo arigato~ |

QUOTE(kerelbort @ Apr 3 2015, 01:10 PM) back from japan yesterday... Actually now Japan are also targeting Muslim community and have quite a few halal restaurant and even prayer rooms as well. My muslim friends do come here often for shopping and they always don't have problem with food. And I follow them for shopping as well, cause I can enjoy the 8% tax free. itinerary is just a plan... if u travelling with 1 infant and 1 toddler... however, manage to cover 75% of targeted place to visit and manage to catch a few place with nice sakura flower blooming in nagoya, kyoto and tokyo... can't wait for next trip already... muslim travelling to japan won't have too much problem with food actually... unless u can't eat japanese food.. my regret is did not repeat my visit to muzashi sushi in kyoto.. nice place, friendly sushi chef, great food! and not too crowded.. |
