Nop. Just under Tokyo City. 40 minute flight from Haneda.

Google it.  Rumor say it was Island of Godzillla home.

Hi guys,

Good day, well 3 more weeks and i'm flying off to Tokyo.
Here i wanna ask some question for those who are experienced travelling to Tokyo.

My friend who is travelling with me would like to buy Samantha Thavasa bag for his gf.
I tried searching and found quite a few of this brand shop in Tokyo.

My question is, other than this brand shop which normally is located in shopping centre, where else can i find branded goods? (eg: places like Ginza? or so, can i get some names of places that you guys can recommend?)

Thank you.

no mention about all nippon airways?? I bought mine for 1300 return baggage included... this coming october

Just a quick question. I'm planning to visit Hakone and Kawaguchiko using Fuji Hakone pass. Will be staying one night at Hakone and Kawaguchiko.

Which route is better, Shinjuku-Kawaguchiko-Hakone or Shinjuku-Hakone-Kawaguchiko?

I was just wondering whether i can maximise my trip because i will likely be staying in Gora, which is midway of the Hakone loop. Or is this not a valid concern since it won't take a long time to complete the loop in one-day (assuming i start early from Tokyo)?

Hi RC, can you elaborate more regarding this?
As i read before this, my understanding is that i can still buy this pass at Narita Airport, is it correct? or it is those exchange order at Malaysia?

Also, since you mentioned Suica or Pasmo is cheaper, which part is cheaper compared to this pass?
I wish to learn more since you mentioned it thanks =)

Ok, will check out Momijiya. I already plan go Karuizawa Outlet on the first day with the pass. Cooler air +shopping. If the weather too hot, then, I may just take train back to Shinjuku and hide inside the shopping malls instead of detour to Lake Kawaguchiko. Thanks for the reminder on sunblock. Plan to try out Japanese ones.
I know summer will be hot. But I figure with me going solo, nobody will complain if I want to walk in the sun see sunflowers, attend summer festivals and fireworks. I was in Taiwan in July once and swore off summer traveling for a few years. But Japanese summer got too many seasonal activities. Want to try at least once. But will have a list of air cond shopping malls as backup once I got tired of the hot weather. SUMMER SALES! 

I will stay at Sugamo actually. So, I think I might as well pop down from the hotel and try my luck see can get Tsuta ticket or not.

My understanding; yes. SUICA is like our Touch n Go, but can only be used in Tokyo. Whereas JR Rail Pass, it's bloody expensive, and not worth buying unless you'll be traveling outside of Tokyo from one area to another area frequently via shinkansen.

Not Tokyo
It was Ibaraki
5.6 Mag weak

nothing one.....this one peanut case only

Can afford and willing to pay is a different story. 
My record is still same as you 30k yen/pax and that only once! My average meal for whole day is now about 2000 yen if I were to eat out for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I have a question about connecting flights between narita-haneda-KIX. If it's out of topic, please do let me know.

I was checking the flights from ANA from KL to KIX and i noticed that there's no direct flight and it required me to fly from KL to Narita, then arrange a transport myself to Haneda and then from Haneda to fly to KIX. The time given between landing in Narita to departure from Haneda is about 4.5 hours. Have anyone tried this? Do you think it's enough time to travel between the airport and go through all the security check and queues?

I checked the transport between Narita and Haneda and seems like the airport limo is the fastest with about 85 mins to 100 mins. There's a different option from ANA which gives me an extra 20 minutes to almost 5 hours window time. Will it be sufficient? Thanks. Sorry if it's a bit out of topic.

My original plan was to have AA fly me to KIX and then fly back from Narita. But the price difference between AA and ANA is only 200... and that's even during promo period..

jus check KL -> HND -> Kansai
the timing is really bad 

need to overnite 1day in haneda before transit to kansai next morning

   

totally not worth of it

Hi RegentCid,

no climbing experience but will try it out anyway  .

Yup, only highway express bus to Gotemba. Tried to find a good onsen place nearby Gotemba to stay once we came down from Fuji but can't find any.

Only found all those nice onsen located at Kawaguchiko area.

I have climb Mt Fuji a few during my younger days and actually its not that difficult. Now of course will definitely be a big ask! Of the many times I did there was one time I fail to reach the top due to typhoon. I reached the 8 station in the middle of the night and suddenly it started to rain heavily with strong wind. Stuck outside of the small hut a few hours with lots of people for a few hours. Once the storm die down I quickly cabut. Hence before you climb you really have to check the weather.....though it might not be accurate as you are "high up there". Besides that you will also encounter "traffic jam". Lots of people especially senior citizen will be making their way up.

hi guys,

going to tokyo for 9 days.

to those with experience, where is the best place to stay with convenience to explore each parts of tokyo? one of my friend suggest dogenzaka because of the night life over there (pubs where you can chill at night) and is near to everything.

are there any better place?
