a lot of airbnb users also reported that the free portable wifi provided by airbnb operators/owners have already finished the data quota or near to finish. So I guess it depends on a bit of luck and timing see whether you're one of the first users during the data cycle period.

That's news to me. I have booked and stayed in Tokyo twice in 2016 and have not encountered this problem hmm.gif

Well I did manage to avoid booking the ticket on Obon, that'll be a nightmare laugh.gif Everything has already been taken care off, just need to plan out how many sticks of deodorant I need to bring.
For now it seems the events for August are still not listed. Missed the Music Festival just by a day, dang that sucks.

Most of my trips are short and centred around only in Tokyo. If it's around 26C - 31C as well I can handle that. I've had worse heat but not as humid as the weather report shows. Thanks, I'll remember to stay hydrated.

Do more indoors than outdoor. On the good side, matsuri will be a lot of fun biggrin.gif

The August festival list is out. Its in Japanese but maybe you can Google translate to English.

Everything is in goddamn Kanji! I thought I've mastered moon runes with over 400 hours invested into JAVs. laugh.gif

Thanks, at least I can make out the dates and some of the places. I might be able to catch the Samba Festival in Asakusa in 28th. Matsuri and the chance to see yukata babes are the only reason why I'm not just gonna let the ticket burn. If I have to suffer at least let me scoop some goldfish!

HAHAHAHAHAHA as long as you can read the location, time and date - you won't go wrong! Yeah the Samba festival looks interesting, but also try to make it for the hanabi! There's one in Yokohama at the end of August. I'm sure it'll be a sight, since Yokohama port is beautiful at night. lololl yukata babes... "goldfish man"!

Good news ^____^ Ghibli Museum in Mitaka has special exhibit! Too bad it wasn't last year, otherwise I would have been able to see it. Love the Museum, totally love-struck at the place!

Yay! Then share how fun it was!

But oh, get your tickets on Ghibli site. Now they sell them online as well. Don't wait till you're in Japan to buy from Lawson, sure habis!!!

For those who are using meetup.com, try to look for Japanese International Meetup. They organized day tours and sometimes 1-two days tour in English. Been to a few meetup and its pretty fun with a mixture of international and japanese people.

That's pretty interesting, shall explore when I have an upcoming trip!

Amazing.. it's only 2 days after the tickets selling date (10th of each month for the next month) and it's already sold out for the whole of July... puke.gif

Best to standby on the first day, at 9am when they open up for Sale. Friends were telling me there are scalpers and ticket hoarders as well. I was only 10min late to the site and all 10am entry tickets for first 2 weeks were sold off ohmy.gif

Thanks. Can add "travel recommends" option if using pocket wifi? I found more cost saving compare to the rest. biggrin.gif
