Thank you. Was planning to visit the Tuna auction too, we'll see. At worst, will have to travel abit to Adachi Market.
Thanks, should be able to take the heat use to work in Chinese and Japanese Kitchen. Yea main to get familiar with the Travel system, weather and interaction with Japanese. Will it be too cramp to add in Yokohama/Hakone in addition to Tokyo for a 6day Trip? Will probably be flying with ANA, since I read it's one of the better airlines to Japan.
If you don't mind me asking, where did you stay? Which airline you took? In your opinion is DisneySea worth it?
*
whether disneysea is worth it or not is really subjective to each person...bear in mind disneysea is the only “Sea” theme park in the whole world

Good luck with Nikko on weekend. really crowded n traffic is horrible.
tho this is how i did, Tokyo>Nikko>Ryuzu Falls>Chuzenji (+Kegon Fall)>Nishisando (Toshogu shrine)>Tokyo
n i missed Toshogu Shrine due to traffic jam delay (closing time).

bonus: try to visit Kanmangafuchi Abyss, not much ppl went there n nice place imo.
*
just to check...which train station you started from tokyo to nikko ?

any sifu caan provide me advice on osaka kaiyukan..

the entrance fee for adult is ¥2300, child (7-12 y.o) is ¥600.
Osaka Kaiyu ticket which provide subway, tram and bus transport for 1 day costs ¥2550 for adult and ¥1300 for child. so i plan to take the Osaka Kaiyu cos from my hotel to Osakako station cost ¥280 1 way.
problem is, there is no ticket for Osaka Kaiyu for below 7 years old child. Can I buy the 7-12 years old child Osaka Kaiyu ticket anyway?
*
didn’t realize there’s Osaka Kaiyu Ticket...

perhaps you can try asking for toddler’s equivalent ticket at the same counter where you purchasing OKT

Can buy online from Ghibli's site: http://www.ghibli-museum.jp/en/ticket-information/

Or: https://l-tike.com/st1/ghibli-en/

It's also under Lawson but selling via online.

That's how I got my ticket, otherwise it would be almost impossible since the tickets always sold out in advance.

just curious...what's interesting to you at ghibli museum...?

What other side attractions are you looking for?? Food?? Museums??? Night Club?? Etc. People wont know what you like if you dont mention what you like. I have stayed at Hiroshima for a period of time about 10 years ago. Now things have change and even if we tell you now, 2-3 years things might change again

i am planning to go hiroshima for a visit during autumn...

any idea how many days would be enough if wanna cover city and outskirts ?

Actually depends what you like. Outskirts will be like Kure, Iwakuni and Okayama. Also its easier to drive in Hiroshima as well. In Iwakuni there is a restaurant in the mountain called sanzoku. Its easier to get there by car. I used to drive there 3-4 times a year. Its about 2 hours drive from Hiroshima. Havent been there for more than 10 years, so not sure if it still exist.

hhmm...so 3 days to cover both city and outskirts sounds good ?

If you want to enjoy I would say at least 4-5 days. City itself will take you 1 day strolling along the river and the peace park. Miyajima will take you at least 0.5 days and Iwakuni will be one day due to all the driving. If you want to add Kure or Shimane Island, then you will need more days. As a tourist, there is not much Hiroshima can offer compare to Tokyo. But if you stay there, it is really lovely compare to Tokyo. Lots of communities activities, calm and relaxing. Also I use to go and watch J1, supporting Sanfreece Hiroshima. Those fans are really unique in the way they sing.

QUOTE(check17 @ Dec 4 2017, 11:55 AM)
I think 3 days is long enough. True the plae is lovely and there is plenty to see around...but if I had to compare with other places I dd rather add the 2 days somewhere else
*
thanks for the suggestions...

what about wakayama ? 3 days is good enough or slightly overkill ? i am both city and outskirts kinda ppl
