Anyone try out this place before?

i can't any other review for this except from tripadvisor.

the package seem interesting.

well, the intention is not for the rides, but rather the closing show/parade, which is supposed to be really nice for Christmas season.. besides, most aren't interested in Disneyland, only my mother is..

@RegentCid, @sacwoc and other sifus, I'm visiting Tokyo with my 5 year old kid and I have a Suica card from my previous trip to Tokyo. From my homework, I gather that my 5 year old kid travels for free with an accompanying adult (me).

Now, my question is how do both of us walk pass the turnstiles at JR train/Tokyo metro stations after swiping my Suica card? Will the machine detect and allow a small child to walk through with an accompanying adult or would I have to be prepared to seek help from train station staff if one of us can't get pass the turnstiles after swiping my Suica?

Arigato, samurai.

Where's the best place to get a samurai uniform figurine in a small case? I'm thinking Asakusa.

Hi, I'm planning for my first trip to Japan next February. I just have  a few lingering questions.

1. How much should I set aside? I don't eat/buy much, is 3-4k enough for domestic travel/accommodation/food?

2. This is my initial itinerary. Any thoughts/feedback are welcome!

1/2 Arrival Osaka-Tokyo
2/2 Tokyo
3/2 Tokyo-Hakone-Shizuoka
4/2 Shizuoka-Hamamatsu-Nagoya
5/2 Nagoya-Kyoto
6/2 Kyoto-Osaka
7/2 Osaka-Departure KUL

The cheaper the food, the happier I am So bread/onigiri it is then

TADAIMA!!! I'M BACK FROM A 16 DAYS TRIP IN JAPAN!!!!
16 days is never enough for Japan.

We went to Osaka, Takayama, Shirakawago, Kanazawa, Toyama, Kurobe Gorge, Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, Matsumoto, Kawaguchiko, Tokyo, Nikko, Karuizawa, Enoshima, Kamakura...

What I hate about Japan? sky gets dark too early, as early as 5pm, so what we can do during the day is very limited.

Fortunately, during my stay, most of the days are clear with blue sky. Only one day at Fuji 5th station with heavy fog, cant see the fuji mountain peak. But we got to see it again at Hangetsusan, Nikko 300km away the following week.

Time to plan for my next trip!~

read about the long Q in himeji castle, and from tripadvisor, some people even comment nothing much insides the castle..( >< ) anyone went there during weekday recently?

Ic ic, will decide later depend on the crowd.. =/
to enter the compound no need pay anything right?

2 more weeks before my trip =)

Aiyoh not that hot lah, around 38-43 deg only. Having said that, even 43 deg oso farking hot, go in feel like all the warriors inside my telur dying.
If got private onsen, why not rent/book it for family time and onsen together?

Also I agree with Samurai to let her mother jaga. Cos non-private onsen all bogel, surely better for your girl to see other nekkid women vs see other nekked men, no?

You all still talking currency exchange? Later RC daikor rage baru tau. Post some Furano pic first to bring this back on topic.










My trip report tered is opened in /k/ if any of you want to read.

Currency topic please go currency thread to discuss. Already know off topic still want to bring in.

For any currency exchange, please discuss in the currency exchange thread. If those who wanna go overseas to travel yet are unable to accommodate for the increase in exchange rate, I suggest to travel to someplace else within their budget. This thread is to discuss travel, not currency exchange.

For the schedule, I started as early as 6am to take the train from Tokyo to Nagano. Just use hyperdia to arrange your timing and try not to take taxi la....I don't think taxi is easy to catch there. The bus is a better option. When you exit the train station, turn right and you will see the bus booth to buy the tickets. There will be people standing there and directing you to go buy tickets there. It's a famous tourist attraction place. So don't worry, you won't get lost

Are you going to Shirakawa-go as well?

oh, food I have alot tips.....

Soeur Cafe, Takayama
Soeur has awesome baked goods, as well as really tasty coffee and herbal teas. The back wall of the cafe is one massive floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the Miyagawa River. Add in the lazy jazz background music, and it’s a perfect place to spend a rainy afternoon or take a break from sightseeing.

Pumpkin pudding is a must try in Takayama. You can buy this at Le Midi

Hida Beef also a must try in Takayama. Try at Heianraku or  Bistro Kanzo
