QUOTE(deodorant @ Oct 25 2017, 11:58 PM) Tokyo area is hot and very humid in summer. comparable to Malaysia hot and humid?Be prepared to sweat a lot especially cos u walk around outdoors a lot. But on the bright side it’s peach season, and eating cold sweet juicy peaches after a hot day is freaking divine.  |

Anyone been to any of these Sushi restaurants?
Both of them seems really interesting, one is aged sushi and the other run purely by word of mouth for 50 years! |

Evening,
Does anyone know when will Tsukiji Fish Market relocate? Planning to visit Tokyo my first time next year in most probably during August school holiday, 3rd week, and more in the future. Is that a good time in terms of weather? Did some search, it's hot and humid like Malaysia during that time, should be okay. Correct me if I'm wrong. Main purpose of the trip is to acclimatize myself to prepare for the 2020 Olympics, also held around late august early September, and FOOD trip. Thank You. |

QUOTE(chaos32 @ Nov 3 2017, 10:28 PM) Tsukiji Fish Market time line for relocation is no earlier than June 2018 - Tokyo Mayor. Thank you. Was planning to visit the Tuna auction too, we'll see. At worst, will have to travel abit to Adachi Market.QUOTE(lyc1982 @ Nov 4 2017, 01:09 AM) august is the peak of summer... QUOTE(sweet_pez @ Nov 6 2017, 09:39 AM) Someone mentioned it's the peak of summer and that's right! Super duper, scorching hot. I went in Sept and it was still hot and humid. Rare chance of rain due to the weather, so you can consider it 'ideal' for going out. But yes since it's to acclimatize for the Olympics, then yes, go during the same period. Don't forget to enjoy some peaches (in season during summer) and fireworks/ festivals. 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.QUOTE(Boy96 @ Nov 3 2017, 10:21 PM) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « This post has been edited by 5p3ak: Nov 6 2017, 05:01 PM |

QUOTE(lyc1982 @ Nov 6 2017, 05:06 PM) 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 Hmm, not really a theme park kinda of person guess not really on the priority for me. Probably if I have extra time, may go. QUOTE(sweet_pez @ Nov 6 2017, 05:30 PM) Nice shot through phone. I've always got an interest in getting a DSLR. I'm pretty sure I'll end up getting one, just a matter of time. IMO DSLR quite heavy, you should try out some newer mirrorless like Panasonic G85. Since you're looking forward to some interaction and doing it the free & easy style, learn few basic Japanese word/ phrases - especially for directions - it'll come in handy. I always believe that itinerary should be tailor-made to each traveler's liking/ interest. It's not impossible - depending on what are your priorities. You may need to weigh which you prefer and probably let go of some others to make way for priorities. Or, make them your back-up. Besides, there's always a next time  And oh yes, ANA  FLY WITH ANA!!!It is still the very initial stage of planning the trip, in terms of priorities it would mainly be experiencing the Cultural/Nature by having an insight of what Tokyo and its people is like and FOOD. Not really a fan of theme parks and shopping  Haven't decided where to stay yet, open to recommendations for AirBnB and Hotel with the budget of RM2k for 6 nights. |

QUOTE(chaos32 @ Nov 6 2017, 08:00 PM) Most welcome. Pls bare in mind that the places for Tuna Action are very very limited and to have any chance of even securing a place, one would have to be there at a ungodly hour - 3am maybe earlier depending. Good luck and happy travels. Yea gotta wake up at 2AM. Where would you recommend first timers to stay at Tokyo?This post has been edited by 5p3ak: Nov 6 2017, 08:39 PM |

QUOTE(sacwoc @ Nov 24 2017, 09:23 AM) Wah you sure no typo?? If true that is really a nice big house. For the price you pay, you can already buy house in Shinjuku or Shibuya. I do dabble a bit in property in Tokyo as it is one of the easiest country to buy house apartment for foreigner. Can get a cheap apartment for about RM200K and rent it out for about RM2000/month. Of course as you mention you need to have some cash ready if they need big refurbishment to the apartment. Really so cheap? 200k MYR?  |

In the midst of planning my summer 2018 7 Days trip to Tokyo on August and I have some questions regarding itinerary planning.
Saturday to Friday, Sunday to Saturday or Monday to Sunday? Also which area should be done on weekend or weekday? Like to avoid the crowds or certain roads are more open to pedestrian? How about overnight flight is worth it? I've never travel by overnight flight prior to this. Thank you very much . |

QUOTE(sweet_pez @ Dec 4 2017, 03:20 PM) In your planning, have at least 1 weekend there. Thanks for your reply I think you you checked the previous posts here, you'll know that Ginza closes off the chuo dori (main road) on weekend from 12 noon onwards. It will always be crowded wherever you go, but if you want to shop eg in Akihabara, Nakano or visit temple/ shrine etc with less people, go on a weekday. However I will recommend Meiji Shrine on weekend. Although crowded, there's a higher chance to see Japanese bride and groom there, as they conduct their wedding ceremony at the shrine. Overnight flight? Why not? You arrive next morning -am- and have the full day to spend. Isn't that so?  Basically, Every Saturday and Sunday Chuo Dori of Ginza will close from 12noon. Meiji Shrine visit on Sat/Sunday, higher probability to encounter wedding. Shopping better to do on weekday, then again not really a fan of shopping, though I would like to buy some kitchen related items like Knifes. I guess overnight flight should be okay, as time difference just 1 hour, however I've never been on a overnight before hence it should be a good experience. Now need to read up on accommodation reviews. Any recommended affordable hotel with decent concierge or AirBnB with nice host? Budget 83k JPY for 6 nights or around 3k MYR. Thank you for your time |
