So far nice weather but forecast tomorrow will rain. 15c on a sunny day today. Wind sometimes sibeh strong though haha

Osaka should be warmer ady, since it is in the nearer towards the center of island. Kyoto and those places near to the sea will be freaking cold, especially arashiyama.

Enjoy your holiday. Have a nice time.

What is the hotel at Osaka that is near to JR station?

anyone in tokyo right now.? hows the weather like.? going there this saturday

er... u no go otaru ah?

hehe.... different ppl different way to rush the early 9.20am AA flight. i choose to stay at airport hotel. cost me rm300 with free spa & breakfast. but i did not use the spa bcox i was damn tired when i reach the hotel at 9pm. but honestly if you guys choose the most earlier train or bus actually can make it on time d but need to wake up early la... Chitose airport not so crowded also. check in n custom quite fast d.

Morning is cold, afternoon quite nice due to the sun and evening is cold. However definition of cold depends on individual.

Otaru ... mesti lah

When we check out from our home stay at Rusutsu we drove via Jozankei to Otaru . All of us like the glasswares there , blink blink , the LeTao cheese puff and cakes and free samples. We also had a big crab lunch at the fish market there ..

Talking about weather there is nothing we can do if your date of arrival is already booked . Most of the time we were there it is cloudy and raining and cold. But the best part ? It really snowed pretty heavy up in the mountains up north .. example in the Soundkyo region and our group was surprised , happy and excited. A extra bonus to go for an Autumn trip but got to experience their first snowfall. However we could not last staying outside our rental cars for more than a few minutes so most visits are shortened. Our visit to the twin waterfalls was really quick when a sort of snow blizzard started and all the tour buses started leaving ...

Hello Guys,

I will be going to Japan on 25th of Feb (Arrived 10.30pm) until the 3rd of August. Can I know if it is possible for me to cover the main attractions in Tokyo and Kyoto within the timeframe that I have in Japan?

Thank you!

5 months is more than enough

Depend how much homework you do.
More u dig , more info , more you cover.

If I be your guide, using my knowledge to bring you Jalan Jalan.....5 month only can cover 60% Tokyo + Tokyo nearby attraction only.

Today Osaka万博記念公園

Baru sikit turn red orangey. This is inside the park, at momiji waterfall section. There's also cosmos right now

.

WOW. You paid that much in cash?!

Winter is coming, I guess it's best to be prepared; fleece and windbreaker. Beanie. And lip balm!

will affect tokyo mid dec or not?

No one can predict if it will impact tokyo. They cannot even predict if it rains next week, how can you predict snow fall next month? All I know is that winter comes early this year.

Wait China (Urumqi & Harbin) & Mongolia start snow fall first. Next will be Seoul.
If this 3 places already snowing, next will be Japan.

I stay at Japan so many years....I always take this 3 city as my snow fall forecast.

since regentcid once say tokyo is a disaster if snow
thn hopefully it only snowed only at night if it really snowed
but hope everything will go smooth....

You stayed there do what? SYOK!

Hi Guys,
I will be going to Tokyo on 29 Dec - 5 Jan 2017 to buy some fukubukuro bags and shopping. Any suggestion which shops that I should queue on 1 Jan?


Thanks!!

I think most shops closed on Jan 1. U can buy any other day during that period. But u will not know what is in the bag. Just choose ur favourite brands
