i hv to change my itinerary totally...
i book the rooms day by day...

This round visit is at Osaka / Kyoto. As the Sakura and Koyo always dont have a definite timing, and planning far much ahead is a hit and miss. And most of the time is always MISS. Just unlucky of me.

I wanted to ask, Japan now still got radiation? if my wife pregnant (3-4 month), is it suitable to go?
*
me and wife (4 months preg) was there at Tokyo, January 2013. As during that point, alot mentioned radiation are in the water and also detected at Tokyo. We did nothing special, eat, drink and travel like normal.

Son is now 20 months and everything is good. If he develop some super powers will let you know.

nuclear radiation, u cant... see it, felt it, smell it, taste it nor listen to it
it will destroy ur cell internally
and it will takes years for the cancerous cell to developed as tumor

by the time u know u hv cancer
most likely u already in second stage and beyond...
then oni u know u have more or less than 6months to live

end of story

u may think im joking...

fyi nuclear disaster is WORLD SCALE EVENT
no matter wat u think... there is ALWAYZ a RISK from it
we r oni tiny human, nothing u do can stop it...

and u think all the sushi u eat there is safe?
think twice!!! nuclear leak at fukushima daichi is flow toward pacific ocean

if any of us decided to go, then must swallow the risk
dont say i didnt warn u guyz

Nope, I'm not taking you lightly or as a joke from your explanation and understand the risk factor. As wife and I decide to go Japan during that time, alot of ppl against us especially she is pregnant. We understand the risk and the understanding of, if really scare there is no other chance to go there this life time, as you explain that radiation stay for a very long time.

Been there again at 2014 and going again this year. Didnt go into details explanation like you do, maybe it sounds like I'm taking it likely, but I just want to explain in a lament term (nope, not in a sarcastic level too)

Oh man. just saw some replies. Sakura will bloom earlier. Am arriving in Tokyo on the 4 Apr 2015. Hopefully still get some good views

anyways, sharing my itinerary. Need sifu help to assess if its doable or perhaps recommend better sights.
Will be 4 person trip. 3 adult, 1 senior.

I will be travelling the same starting date and also fear of the miss of the sakura season. What I do or have plan b plan is that hit location with sakura bloom starting of the trip, so that will not entirely miss it.

As for your day 1, while you're at the location of Asakusa, go to Sumida Park that is near to the water cruise. Day 2 is okay as you will be at Shinjuku Goen.

As for the rest of the days is about luck how late the sakura staying around. Do take note on the weather forecast i see there is raining here and there.

Samantha ... got a few different branding, for ladies are Samantha Thavasa (petit and deluxe) and Samantha Vega. Nearly got one for wife, special edition Sailor Moon, but lazy to travel to that particular location for that.

Samantha Thavasa no longer only Japan, as we can get it as near as Singapore.
