QUOTE(MR_alien @ Nov 4 2015, 03:02 PM) same BTW...he only has 1 listing?..the one at roppongi? spacious indeed...RM440/night  That's odd. With the new link, I see his listings on a sidebar on the left. He has 6 listings in the same building. Not in the Roppongi area. If you search for the Minowa metro station, his building is at the crossroad opposite the station. The price went up a bit already at RM200+ a night. When I went in July, it was 170+.

It was a free and easy trip so only skeletal itinerary and spent most of the time lazying around. Didnt do any island hopping this time. Maybe reserve for future. Drizzled on and off but still okay. Overall impression, people is friendlier but the local cuisine is really out. The tempura at Ou jima Island is worth a mention. Tried Blue Seal ice cream, recommended by sifus, twice  Speed limit is only 40-50 on non tolled road, so that kinda take the fun out of the driving. Special lanes and the right turn rules are quite confusing too. Overspent at Kokusai Dori as there are so many things! The okinawa theme shirts are expensive but I still grabbed few pieces as they are too pretty to miss yvonnesooshould have pics to show show ma  . regarding the blue seal ice cream.. what flavor is that? sounds interesting This post has been edited by yvonnesoo: Nov 4 2015, 03:24 PM

That's a nice location. 2 possible answer 1. the washer itself have dryer function(certain models have...expensive) 2. the bathroom itself is the dryer...u hang the cloth on the hanger on top of the bathtub...close the bathroom door and turn it on(thats how japanese dry their cloth)

I got heard that as foreigner might not able to purchase at the gate. Is there any "jalan" to purchase a cheap ticket like thru travel agency. Thanks This is the first time I heard foreigners are not able to purchase directly in the gate. Maybe this might happen in a traditional Onsen. As Disney is a global company they definitely be sue for discrimination. If you need cheap ticket you can go to some "second hand" shops. This shop they buy ticket from ppl who cannot make it to concert, train, etc. Then they resell it cheaper than the original price. Not much cheaper though.

We ended up draping the clothes on the chairs in the room. Good thing it was summer.

The place I posted has a mobile wifi but you can't take it out unless you rent the whole apartment. It's a shared device.

Would need some advise inside Mt Fuji area. If I wish to first visit Lake Kawaguchi then follow by Gotemba premium outlet, can anyone give me a guide how to get from Lake Kawaguchi area to Gotemba premium outlet?
Then from Gotemba premium outlet, which way is the easiest to back to Tokyo ?
