Buy one set of Uniqlo Heat Tech base layer here. Then get more from Uniqlo there. As for the jacket, if you're fussy and would like to see lots of choices below buying, make Shimokitazawa your first stop at Tokyo. Lots of vintage/used jackets there for insanely sweet prices.

Bro, reserve some energy for your in room activity since you're going on your honeymoon. You only honeymoon once in a lifetime.

ANA, especially if you're flying with kids.

I've rented from Global Advanced Communications on both trips to Tokyo and can confirm they work fine at Enoshima, Kamakura, Hakone as well.

If you're not getting the unlimited one, try to stay off YouTube or you'll be sorry. Don't get the eco/slim types unless you've got an extra power bank around to resuscitate it by afternoon.

Sounds like it, but to be sure you gotta email them.

That's so true, especially for Sony models.

Don't even think of visiting if you're hauling luggage or a huge backpack. The interior is quite cramped and it can get very busy in there.

I recommend you rent from one of the many companies (eConnect, Japan Wireless, Global Advanced Communications, etc) operating there and have them post it to the past office at your arriving airport so that you can use it immediately after clearing immigration.

For the GAC unit, I believe it is high speed for 1GB/day for the unlimited one. I've subscribed with them twice. Very reliable and their units have never let me down. Don't require my powerbank as their battery could last around 8-10 hours with about 3-4 devices (GAC say max 5, I don't have 5 devices in my travel group) connected in my experience.

Those cheaper/slim units have batteries that can't get you even 6hrs of use. My guess is that your your AirBNB assortment unit will be a slim unit. You might be able to connect only 2-3 devices to it.

I'm not sure if I understand what you write here correctly.

In Tokyo, you can use your Suica/Pasmo card for pay as you go. Subway or JR trains day passes are not really value for money unless your itinerary involves checking into 6 or more train stations per day.

Fuji Hakone Pass is useful for your Mt Fuji excursion. Research Kansai Thru Pass for your Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Kobe visit.

You need to buy the JR pass here, get an exchange order and hand it in to a JR travel office in Japan upon your arrival. You can't buy a JR pass over there.

@RegentCid, have you visited Misaki Port/Jogashima Island? Any tips on which restaurant to try there on a day trip?

Going on the Misaki Maguro Kippou. Visiting the tuna auction at Misaki Port before going to Jogashima Island for a short tracking hike.

if you want a free and easy outing, hop onto Oedo line from Shidpme station. Get off at Roppongi station and go for an early dinner at Hard Rock Cafe Roppongi. Then take a leisurely 20mins stroll to Zojoji Temple and end your night at Tokyo Tower.

There's no one size fits all itinerary. You make plans based on what your interests are.

Day 3 -Tsukiji Market is relocating in Nov 2016. Will you make it before then? After Nov, it'll be at Toyasu/Odaiba. On a nice clear day, Tokyo Tower offers clear views as far as Mt Fuji. You can consider visiting Tokyo Tower at night or after sundown.

Day 7 - Roppongi is not really a must visit place unless you are specifically after clubbing or Hard Rock Cafe experience. I'd try to plan visiting Shibuya in the morning and spending the rest of the day at Shimokitazawa as it is nearer. Get to Shimokitazawa before dark to find your way around as the train station is undergoing extensive renovation.

Day 9 - I'll scrap Disneyland and head over to Yokohama. This will allow you to compare and contrast both cities. It's very near and suitable for a day trip. There's a Nissin Cup Noodle Museum, Kirin Beer Factory (free 45 min tours and 3 free drinks at the end of the tour) and lots of other stuff to see.

Plan light on your last day, especially if weather is bad, in order to allow you sufficient time to get to Narita Airport. In severe weather (overnight or extensive raining), services of express trains like Narita Express can be disrupted.

You might want to try a love hotel or a capsule hotel at Shibuya just for a night if that's the case.

If you're staying at Asakusa/Ueno, Yokohama is an hour away nia. Avoid the Chinatown in Yokohama and you stunt be disappointed.

Personally, I'd plan more day trips out of Tokyo with the amount of time you have planned. Try Enoshima/Kamakura, Mt Takao, etc day trips. I had a month in Tokyo last year and still haven't run our of sights to see or attractions to visit.

Keep the Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Kobe, Hiroshima circuit for your next visit.

I prefer souvenir hunting at Asakusa and the various Donki stores. Ameyokocho Market is also fine.

Which 1 star is this? Are you hinting at the one at Shinjuku that serves only sardine dishes and is closed on Sundays?

For vintage clothing, Shimokitazawa is heavenly. Nakano is more for otaku's. It's like a Shimokitazawa for Akihabara geeks.

If your backpack is 45L or smaller I think it's still manageable. Otherwise you risk bashing Tokyo natives during rush hour commuting or even window shopping.

Strolling around Shimokitazawa without a specific plan in mind and getting lost traversing the many back alleys and stumbling upon plenty of interesting little cafés and boutiques is my idea of enjoying Shimokitazawa.

Sleep in a little later past your normal routine. Shimokitazawa only breathes into life after 11am. Skip breakfast and plan on having brunch at a cafe there instead. Stop by as many cafés or convenience stores as you desire (to rest your legs) was what I did on my last visit and it was quite a heavenly and unforgettable experience.
