Hi all.
I will be going to Tokyo early Nov. Really really wanted to visit Studio Ghibli! I had missed out the other round where I tried to purchase right after touch down in Tokyo but it was all sold out sad.gif
Anyone have any idea to pre-purchase the entrance tickets before hand?
It had been my wish to see the great ghibli museum smile.gif Wouldnt want to missed out the 2nd time..

That place is always sold out. Non-peak season, you'll be lucky to get a ticket for the following week, and we're talking weekdays, weekend is out of the question, need a month or 2 in advance. I'm going there around that time too. To both. Maybe I can help you get a ticket as well?

Good thing is, they are restarting Chubu, since AA Japan is to be revamped based there (Mk 2), so the two may be related, compensating Narita for Chubu.

Hi peeps, I am going to Japan in September and had drew up a travelling plan for myself. But the problem is I planned to walk at 90% of the time so my question is:

1) Are there any apps for iphone that works like GPS but does not require wifi or data to guide me to the location from my current location?

2) Or at least any ways to make sure that I am in the correct direction?

Because my NESW is not very good you see I am afraid that while I thought I was walking to Ginsei I was actually walking all the way to Tokyo Dome and things like that happen.

I recommend a compass and a map.

hahah you can use this website.

http://www.kashikiri-onsen.com/

very informative. the only obstacle i am facing now is that i am hoping to be able to catch snow in the onsen towns during end of march.

kashikiri + snow + outdoor view.. fantastic smile.gif
it will be a gamble to try to get snow.

Hey, nice site. Now this is informative. Thanks bro. thumbup.gif

I'm not very used to onsen, but may go again on my next visit. icon_rolleyes.gif

Must say overall prices are expensive but quality is good. Food is like rm50 each person minimum average.

Found out duty free japanese whiskey also not that much cheaper compared to local shops here which are with duty some more.

Navigation and walking around can be a challenge even with gps/ data plan. Subway always confusing and surprise me each time.

if its your first, yes, confusing, but interesting.. by your second time, will be much much less confusing, but also less interesting.. haha

its expensive when you see it in Ringgit, but if you keep your mindset in Yen, 1.5k is a-okay~ laugh.gif laugh.gif

I am going to be a first time for onsen, hence why the search for kashikiri onsen. There are loads of nice kashikiri onsen smile.gif just difficult to find one that ticks all the boxes.
smile.gif your welcome bro. It is good to share, the internet is a very wide place hahaha.

Yes, post like that is appreciated. smile.gif
Seems like you and mich going next spring? Anyone this autumn?
