You can actually get the DisneySea ticket at the Disney Store since you'll be in Shinjuku area anyway.
For Day 6, I think it'll be better if you reverse the location (Akihabara AM, Asakusa PM). I find Sensoji & Tokyo Skytree to be beautiful at late evening. But that's only my preferences though smile.gif

Eh wanna ask, I know Universal Studio has Express Pass - does Disney offer them as well?

Disney has something called FastPass for certain ride, which is not for sale. You need to collect them at the FastPass kiosk for free, but first come first serve basis. The pass will specify what time range (example :10am - 10.30am) where you can just go straight into the ride.

There are some other restriction as well on this (can't hold multiple ride pass at same time , fastpass cooldown etc.). Do google for more info on this if you want to arrange your time to ride all the ride there.

And there's a Disneysea app as well in Google Store Japan that allow you to see the status of ride, waiting time and even the fastpass status of those ride. recommend to download that. thumbup.gif

Hi im going to osaka, kyoto for 10 days. I did some research and was wondering if USJ is worth going. Anyone has experience on buying the ticket and what is your take on it.

And in Kyoto, I was wondering if any temple is worth going cause in Kyoto, it seems that theres a lot of temple and they said if you have been to one, it is sufficient cause it looks the same. I will go to Gion, kiyomizudera (eventhough they said they are renovating, im wondering if we can still visit around that area), fushimi inari, arashimaya, nara.

I felt that theres a lot more to do in osaka than kyoto. correct me if im wrong.

I will like your take on it if anyone has been there. this will be my first time heading there. Thanks. rclxms.gif

USJ is worth going, but the prerequisite is to get the premium ticket, else you will spend most of your day queuing up.

Not all temple are the same in Kyoto, there are Buddhist temple and Shinto temple, and each temple has its own concept as well.  There are also some speciality with the temples. So if you have planned to go for temple visit, might as well put in a few more, of course you will have to do your own research on the temple itself before you go, or else you are like sightseeing only.

Osaka and Kyoto both have their own speciality.
Kyoto -> scenary,
Osaka -> food, shopping

I second look416 opinion.
USJ will only be worth your time IF only you get the fastpass. You can buy the ticket online through the Japanese version of the USJ site. There's a blog somewhere that help translate the steps needed to get them.

And one important advise, don't waste time going as many place as you can for your first trip. Because it often unlikely to be the last trip there. thumbup.gif
