QUOTE(RegentCid @ Apr 4 2015, 11:28 PM) So when you going Enoshima don't forget do the same post. I Guarantee your Facebook likes will be pecah!!! Fuh I'm tempted to pay a visit! Will be doing 2-3 days in Tokyo area before heading off to Hokkaido this trip (cos my waifu gila duffy and shellie mae so no choice need to go TDS to buy some more bears) :| ... might be worth it to take a day trip to kamakura RegentCid lucaswjk "From the upper chair lift station, it is a steep 60-90 minute climb to the summit which rewards hikers with views into the interior of the Daisetsuzan mountains." "use a chairlift to carry you up past the 1,500 metres (4,900 ft) mark." So total about 400+m of vertical elevation. If fitness level is like those barely exercise one, can make it to the peak in reasonable time ma? Otherwise looks like my waifu and I need to sign up for 6 months gym membership Also, I'm assuming the chair lift and ropeway will stop operations by sunset i.e. 4pm-5pm so any hike should start in the morning ... right?

Afternoon/evening onsen, rest, X+2: early morning go hike mountain. Come back down have lunch then drive back to sapporo. Or X: arrive late evening sounkyo from furano/biei and sleep. X+1: early morning go hike mountain. Come back down have lunch then afternoon/evening onsen, rest, X+2: after breakfast drive to asahikawa go zoo see penguin then lunch then drive back to sapporo Seems #2 make more sense |

QUOTE(kamikraze @ Apr 8 2015, 12:31 AM) ... or get some bulky DSLR, with good Lens, or just rent from others. IMO for you, don't bother with DSLR. You need to carry a LOT of kit because unlike compact cameras which cover entire zoom range, you generally need to carry 2-3 lens (one wide angle, one "normal", one telephoto zoom) for DSLR. If you're in the mood to BUY a camera you could perhaps take a look at the 1" sensors, Sony RX 100 iii or Canon's G7X for example. Excellent image quality / portability ratio. |

Anyone rent global advanced comm pocket wifi in hokkaido before? The company say if go hokkaido / mountains, they recommend the premium or super premium models (ie more expensive). Wondering if anyone ever rented the base 75mbps or 21mbps models in hokkaido before and whether the coverage was OK enough.

QUOTE(lucaswjk @ Apr 23 2015, 11:18 AM) i suspect they sold Fatty Tuna as Semi Fatty to me... unethical i tried 2pieces of Fatty Tuna, the first one is lack of Fat line, the second one is the worst. Looking back from my 3+ years ago photos, only got one トロ leh. Other one is soysos marinated あかみ. Got peekture of your fake Toro? [edit] mine here. If I recall, this was my first ever 'atas' sushi meal in my life so all also I tot super sedap. Didn't even really know diff between ohtoro chutoro etc.  Since then after eating some other sushi places, feel that sushi dai nothing really that special other than the price is relatively super cheap.
