3 hours...i guess i will reach there by 4am and go lounge sleep then.

Want to try ANA B787 izzit?

Hi RegentCid, I have gone through the lawson ghibli site and registered but there's no option to purchase/ reserve the tickets. I was asked to get the potta point, is this how I could reserve?

Online reservation through Internet are Fully Japanese wording. If you dunno how to read japanese will be almost impossible for you to reserve ticket in advance.

When you at Japan. You still can get Ghili Museum Ticket from any Lawson Convenient store.
There will be a machine call Loppi. Just follow the step to buy your ticket.

Just make sure you buy the ticket one day advance on ur planning going visit Ghibi Museum.

i asked my airbnb host to book the ghibli tickets for us... and she got it booked today

i tried registering Loppi as well, but it requires local japanese mobile number. so I cant book it myself.
this is the website: http://l-tike.com/pc/d1/AA02G04F1.do?STID=ghb&ALCD=1&

on the site note: FLOODS!!!!!!!! NOOOOO!!! hopefully by end of oct the conditions will be better. I am going to Nikko lehhh...

After not touching my itinerary for few months, looked back at it today and made some changes. Decided to leave out higashiyama district and kiyomizudera temple as have visited them before. Adding Nanzen-ji, Chion-in and Eikando tentatively since they are along philosopher's path. Might drop one of them as cannot stand too many entrance fees and also one of them is under renovation.

At first wanna replace with Kifune Jinja but too north-wards and it is probably similar to Kasuga Taisha in Nara anyway

I sortof went through using google translate and got stuck. Haha.

I actually had been to Japan once and last time when I tried booking through the Loppi machine, it was fully booked for the month. Hence, I was trying my luck on getting someone to help me book first cause the booking for October starts yesterday (10th). Thanks for the help though!




Maybe I will get my hotel concierge to help me book.

1 question, if the day i back from tokyo is 11.45pm.. then i choose last night stay at hakone isit ok? cause im thinking since hakone is 2 day pass.. should be doable right?

No wonder you went many places in Japan.

I was Study U at Japan 6 years. This 6 Years I already travel to whole Japan during school break.
Plus I work in Japan Company. I fly to Japan almost 14 - 16 times per year.

Plus I was volunteer disaster relief team since 2011 Tohoku earthquake. If got Major Earthquake..... I will be there sending aid.

i had read 1 blog about a Malaysian went to study degree and further again his masters in Japan, and he seems to like it there and after found job already, he did not want to come back here
