Is easter celebrated in Japan?

No. It was not a Public Holiday at Japan plus it only celebrated by christian only and Japan mostly are Buddha.

aiya..was hoping to see some girls in bunny suit

Go Shinjuku Kabukicho. Alot

Japan do not have any religious holiday. Even Christmas is not a holiday. Holidays will be like Chlldren day, Marine Day, Culture Day, etc.

wait, Christmas is not a holiday?

ah okay..would be nice to see malls with easter deco..but it's okay then

Every Japanese will going to temple only on 30th December or 31st December every years. Even in Calendar,there are don't have holidays. Its long weekend during New Year ,normally 1 weeks .

Not Christmas Holiday in Japan ,but a few Japanese will celebrate .Every time Christmas ,most of Japanese..will thinking for KFC.. ..Agree most of shopping Mall / USJ / Disneyland have great decoration . Even in Kinder garden,they also invite Santa to give goodies for kids .

surprising that Easter (the celebration part, not the religion part) has not gain traction in japan..bunnies, chocolates..

normally usj/disney post their special event on their website calendars

ps: disney japan dont hv Halloween special 🙅

1. Sent message to my 2 airbnb host whether should I be concern about any cancellations.
The host in Osaka replied to my message but did not answer the question.
The host in Hiroshima did not reply after 2 days. Prices are crazy in Hiroshima, so made a panic booking using booking.com. with free cancellation option, Toyoko Inn, 10 mins shinkansen away from Hiroshima St, RM300 more expensive than my airbnb and still subject to change depending on the currency.

2. Shitty MYR and strong YEN. Have not changed a single YEN.

3. Sakura forecast also not in my favor.

Haih, feel like wanna cancel my trip

hello sifus,

just booked ticket to tokyo for 1 week , taking off in april. decided after discussed with my wife last night, yea, i am an impulse buyer .

so i am pretty noob at this. can you guys please advise any must go place ?

1 week in tokyo, enough? or too long? was thinking maybe go mount fuji for sight seeing.

below is what i can think of,

- disney ( wife )
- some garden in tokyo, hopefully still got sakura for my wife to see.
- akihabara ( electronics stuff and gundam )
- some shrine around tokyo ( not THAT infamous one )
- mount fuji ( the only place which i will travel , osaka is too far i reckon)
- tokyo museum

my wife doesnt want the capsule hotel, so i will look for cheap hotel with double bed, any tips? typically rm300 a night.( checking in agoda/booking.com as well now)

sorry bro, did not go through all the thread.

don't cancel....your airbnb booking since last year should be still ok. for the sakura, you won't know....this year forecast not so ngam...really depends on the weather and I hear my cousin said the weather is getting warmer d...don't worry

Here will be different from others. At here you do the homework first and I do the add-on and correction.
If you ask direct advise and answer like this way, I won't give you any answer.

Go Page 1 and start do the homework. Still got 2 Months of time for the homework.

first quick question,

should i go straight book 7 night of hotel? or split it out to different location? more fun to stay at different part of the town?

7 Night under one Hotel at Tokyo no problem. Don't forget Japan Hotel are Check in at 2 Pm and Check out at 10 Am. Between 4 hour you need drag your luggage around or spend money put at train Station locker.
If you like to try difference hotel then go ahead.

is staying in kawasaki acceptable? or is it too far from everything?

My booking.com for Toyoko Inn is under Pay Later and Free Cancellation option. However, I received SMS stating that the full amount has been charged by Toyoko Inn. This is weird because authorization checking will usually stated agoda.com, booking.com but this one states the Toyoko Inn name. Is this their policy? I have since cancelled my booking (free cancellation) and re-booked under Agoda (due to lower price).

Anyone know what is the email address for Toyoko Inn? unable to find at the website. Also, can we store luggage at the front desk if arrive before check-in time?

Only have tel inquiry
