Thanks bro.

By the way, i have 1 day to spare for either hakone, chureito pagoda or kawaguchiko lake from TOKYO. Which do you think is worth it during autumn (late november). This is my first time in Japan.

Chureito + Kawaguchiko, you won't regret it smile.gif
BEAUTIFUL during autumn!

overrated place to be honest. better go shirakawago enjoy snow or Kurobe Gorge Unazuki Torokko enjoy autumn fall

He was asking between those 2 options.
Besides, a day trip to either Shirakawago or Kurobe Gorge is much tiring and harder to do.

Each to their own I guess wink.gif

Possible to do these two places in a day right from tokyo? Thanks for your feedback!
*
Possible but it will be a long day especially since the sun sets early during autumn.
Staying overnight would be the better option.

What's the best use of 1 Yen coins?
Keep them until they make up a sizeable amount worthy of using like 100 Yen?

Thanks for the suggestions about the 1 Yen coins, I'd better try to use them all up this trip rather then bring them back!

I'm in Shinkansen now, from Shin-Osaka to Hakata using Hello Kitty shinkansen. laugh.gif
Regarding the luggage space, it's limited... I only managed to get my seats at car 6 but luggage storage area at car 3 and 4. Top shelves cannot fit my luggage. Huge leg room space so can fit luggage if put in front of you but your legs may be tired if it's a long journey. We put ours at car 4 and went back to sit at car 6.

By the way, this train is so cute. laugh.gif I like it.

I bought a bunch of attraction tickets and tours from Klook mobile app. Do we need to print all these tickets out in hard copy or we could just present/scan it via our mobile?

Any experience guys?

I printed everything out just in case but so far have used 2 vouchers on my mobile Klook app and it worked fine.

Worth to visit. Now autumn are perfect for open air of Shibuya Sky. Go by evening and stay until night. It beautiful.

Cheers mate, might give it a go on our last day there.

On a sidenote, at Kiyomizu now and the leaves are still not at their best yet.
A lot of greens amongst some red and orange, I think would be better by the end of the week.

kiyomizudera under renovation now, can I just skip it?

My plan is to go to yasaka, chionin, haeian, fushimi Inari. enough to see maple leaves? early December.
*
Not sure if the leaves are still around early December or not. And yes the main platform is still under renovation.

If your aim is just to see the platform and leaves then maybe you can skip it due to the 400 Yen entrance fee.

The area around is nice though.

Hey I just reached Osaka recently!

So many drugstores/pharmacies at shopping streets (Ebi suji, Shinsai, Sennichimae) @ Namba area...

Which drugstore/pharmacy overall is one of the cheapest to get skin care/beauty products? Because there are like 1001 of such stores so maybe we can an indication of which shops to look at.

Also, should we buy our sweets/chocolates/souvenirs at Osaka or at Kyoto? We're scared that there are not many choices or it's more expensive in Kyoto
*
We found 大国药 to be the cheapest, I think it's symbol is blue with the orange background.

If you're buying stuff that is limited to that region only then it goes without saying, just buy it!

Not really, some places like Arashiyama only just started.
I was at northern Higashiyama today and only Nanzenji/Eikando were nice.
The temperature today was 5 degrees colder so that'll help.
Few more days would be perfect.

thn it might not change colour at all or won't change like the ones in the video
that 2 video is taken at kyoto

Not saying all the places in Kyoto haven't changed.
Like I said, even the same areas have varying degrees of colors so you gotta pick the right spots.

If you go to Eikando the colors have peaked but not Kiyomizu even though they're quite close to each other.
