because as sifu regent say...snowing in tokyo is rare
and to snow as early as november, even more rare

japan affected i think still ok since hokkaido also snow
weird part is even chianng mai also reach 0c

how do they even know if you're travelling alone anyway?
imigresen side pass 1 by 1 also

this is to debunk those "radioactive" question
on average, most japan city has lower radioactive reading than most places in hong kong
so if u question is it safe to travel to japan...u should question more should u go HK or not as well

most ppl will concern abt the environment 1st because its in the air u breath
in term of food, the waters that are contaminated already banned from fishing
with strict regulation from the japanese...i dnt think ppl need to worry abt the food
you'll have more chance of eating contaminated fish here than in japan..i believe

got something that i found wanna share...although i already got myself wiyo

really?
hmmm....we'll see thn...see if any is posted on their website

Arrived Tokyo 2 days ago
Managed to ride the 11.42pm train to shinagawa and arrive shinjuku at 00.30am
Saved me some money instead of paying over double on the limousine bus
The worst thing?...,it's 7c!!!!....I can't feel my hands

got back from tokyo few days ago
wanna share some reviews and tips here
my flight to tokyo HND is slightly delayed so i reached a little late at HND
but i took the 11.45PM(not even the last) train to shinjuku...so for those who doubt it, its doable(and im seated at almost the last row of the airplane)
captain say its 9c...but man, when i step out of shinjuku east exit...i wanna go back home already ...it doesn't feel 9c...so for those going soon....be very prepared...get a glove to protect your hand
and bring some moisturizer for your hand because the water is so cold, it would hurt your skin directly like u just punched a wall

for transportation
for those who wanna buy those 1/2/3 day pass...forget abt it
just get suica/pasmo....i see myself using JR train almost everyday to get to my destination
and train in tokyo is very confusing...so my tips is wake up early and start your trip early because it can be confusing even with hyperdia's help
like hyperdia say go disneysea only need 41 min..took me 1.5 hours
and i saw even japanese themselves uses something similar to hyperdia to help their ride...unless they stay quite outside of tokyo thn its fine

food wise
way too many things to eat there....and i didn't even manage to eat it all
the abura soba = very nice....small, medium and big are the same price
the soba at hakone = great.....but i think some might not like the raw egg mix but they have soup soba
ramen i tried hakata tenjin = cheap good soba, i did not try ichiran ramen though
and many other food

souvenirs
all the food sold in japan are 98% different, most are self produced and sold only in japan for japanese
especially their candies and keropok...they have so much varieties of candies there...u will have a hard time to decide what to buy

disneysea
u can't finish all the ride for sure...because of the waiting time and the queue will kill your leg
so consider yourself lucky if u can ride a few rides and walk the whole park in 1 day
my tips is, once u enter the park...1st thing to do is get a fastpass or just ride the toy story
i reached disneysea 9PM because im late...i directly go get toy story fast pass...guess what...it wrote 21:00~22:00 on the fastpass

1. u will mostly use JR train
2. u won't use more than 1.5k yen on transport everyday...only 2 out of my 8 days in my trip i reload 1k yen to my pasmo because i went odaiba
so kinda pointless getting the day pass

anything to ask can ask now when my brain still fresh

down jacket with glove(neck warmer or scarf is optional)
bring moisturizer

when u search on hyperdia...a few options will come out
thats for us actually
because we have never been there, unfamiliar with it..so chance of us missing it is quite high
since this is from airport, its still fine..doable
but when you're inside the city...most of the route are impossible to made it...so spare your time everyday for train riding

tips on where to buy cheap cloth
1. ueno - alot of cheap branded good there...outside right across the street of station, even before ameyoko already few
2. shimokitazawa - the upcoming hippiest/fashionable place on tokyo...so many cheap fashionable cloth here
even the ppl coming here also looks very different

i did see ppl using selfie stick
but use it moderately
tokyo disneyland/disneysea has a big crowd...many ppl walking here and there
so your selfie stick may cause inconvenience to other ppl

those 3 that u said won't even be enough for the cold of tokyo
better be very prepared than under-prepared
scarf and glove are a must(which is the mistake i did)
