Seaking some opinion. My coming tokyo trip on dec 31 - jan 7. Planning to do a 2d 1n side trip to mt fuji since my sis said want to see fujisan. Maybe going there by bus. 1st i plan go lake kawaguchiko since this area can give good view of fujisan. Then now my sis tiba tiba said hakone also nice. Told me Can go there as well or not... Haiz...

Now i pening d. It is possible to travel 2 area on a 2d 1n side trip? If it very rush & waste time then if to choose 1 of these 2 area for 1st timer mt fuji viewer, which 1 is better?

hakone is nice
but if your objective is to spot fujisan thn i recommend u to skip hakone
to spot fujisan in hakone at that period of time you're going is almost impossible

i went to tokyo and visited hakone 3 years ago on early january, it was foggy and raining
u need clear skies to spot fujisan from hakone
but if u ask me is it worth to visit hakone, i would say yes but don't expect to spot fujisan there at that period

yeah understand...still looking...planning for 2 nights in kyoto and 4 nights in osaka...wonder will be able to catch autumn since I'm going 24oct. Hopefully can catch.

Japan have their own apps call hotpepper gourmet/beauty, etc. Found out they have english version:
https://www.hotpepper-gourmet.com/en/
However I am not sure if its as comprehensive as the Japanese version.
I like the beauty apps cause I get to look at all the discount they have and make a booking.


You have been to Japan so many times and you did not know that IC card can be used everywhere?

Generally speaking, 24th Oct is too early for koyo in either areas.
You might need to head up to higher elevations for that.

well...nvm cause i have another trip in end nov till early dec will be too late for autumn

Practically speaking, I've only been to Tokyo numerous times When I was in Gifu, we used the seishun 18 kippu and bought bus tickets. Don't recall using my PASMO back in Nagoya - or maybe i did. Couldn't recall though hmmmm. When I went to Ibaraki (Yamagata, Mito etc) it was a trip with customers so it's with agency and thus everything was catered for.

All outsider when reach Tokyo will buy Suica or Pasmo even whole Japan IC card already Unite as one.
Using thier kampung IC card at Tokyo will kena laugh by Tokyokko.

There is actually a lot of ground to cover if you are considering to cover these two areas in two days. Unless you are renting a car, I don't think you would be able to do do this by public transport alone.


But but but... you mentioned that if we use our Suica/Pasmo at outskirts, people will know we are from Tokyo/Osaka. So must have both IC and Suica/Pasmo?

i usually take out my wallet n scan em. lazy to take my suica out from my wallet, cept when top up.

I have both PASMO & ICOCA

Same here. Don't want to risk dropping the card though replaceable especially boarding trains during peak periods.

Alright then, you can be both kampong and city boy.

I have Universal Studio Japan buy 1 free 1 voucher. Anyone interested pls pm me.

already pm you buddy.

Going to Japan with parent (elder). Is it good to bring them to Disneyland?

Not recommend unless your parent will play all those rides.
Entrance ticket are expensive and food inside Disney are expensive.

Not many rides are suitable for your elderly parents at Disneyland tbh. You parents will have to battle the crazy crowds, expensive entrance fee, outdoor weather for a whole long day waiting for you to queue to go on the rides.
