btw anyone went to Teamlab Tokyo before? Ticket cost around RM125. Worth it? Look so futuristic. Look nice when the crowd is less. but if a lot ppl want take nice video seem difficult.

from the website it said need to take out your shoes cox need to walk through water. wear long pants sure mafan lo?

Just got back from Nagasaki ahead of typhoon Hagibis approaching. That time last week was worried typhoon Mitag was heading towards Kyushu but it veered off to Korea instead, so I had 1+ week of clear weather with certain days a few hours of rain. Interestingly while Mitag didn't hit Nagasaki, during the closest approach, it was hot like Malaysian weather (27-28 C). Earlier of the week, it cooled off but now weather forecast is getting hotter again.

As to fruities request, here is status of the main Glover house


BTW, you can get Inasa ropeway ticket at the Info Counter at JR Nagasaki(same place get 500yen all day tram pass), it only cost 1000yen per pax so saving 250yen per head but it cannot be refunded so buy it when you intend to get up there (counter closes at 8pm).

Thank you to all the advices given here by fruitie and other forumers. Really helped a lot on my trip there.

Yeah to all going this weekend, this typhoon Hagibis is rated Cat5 so please stay safe indoors.

Will let you know after I go this November

It's impossible to predict a typhoon's path

Current trajectory is heading towards kansai region, with a last minute turn towards kanto region. Don't hedge your bets on that last minute turn being accurate down to the dot though

Cantik... My tokyo trip is on dec. Hihi... Remember review here ya... I put full trust on you. U say nice je i straight away book ticket. 😜

Do note there are 2 Teamlab in Tokyo. Both also nearby.

Teamlab Planet is more straightforward (1 way from begin to end)

Teamlab Borderless is bigger but need to explore it like a maze.

I've been to Borderless and my advice is to wake up early and enter as soon as possible as the crowd and queue can b crazy.

Worth or not, it depends on whether you enjoy contemporary art or not. It's mostly stimulation* of visual and auditory.

FYI Klook was selling ticket for borderless today for rm10 (50 pax)

Yes for sure no worries.

As scchan posted above, there are 2 Teamlabs in case you were not aware.
I chose Planets over Borderless just because of lower crowd anticipation and it being a temporary exhibit.

Borderless seems more value for money though.

From what is shown on Google maps that's updated by Japanese weather bureau
The typhoon will hit more on Tokyo than Kansai area

yea i agree. been keeping check on most japan related news , train, airline, and attractions website.
just hope the aftermath is nt bad for osaka.
tokyo wise no joke its gonna be devastating


hard to predict how much damage will be caused for kansai area also as the typhoon is biggest so far. even the most outer layer will hit hard

Pray for Japan !

The typhoon is HUGE mang, can cover whole of japan

Good thing is that it's weakening somewhat

Hopefully this will be the last one that will hit japan this year (there will still be typhoons in oct-nov-dec)
